Taylor & Travis? Nope, It’s Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos Dressed Up for Halloween!
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos brought Halloween to a whole new level this year by dressing up as the celebrity couple of the moment: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce! The Live co-hosts decided to dress up as the power couple for the show’s Only Halloween in the Building special, set to air on ABC Thursday. Their transformation was nothing short of iconic.
Ripa fully embraced her inner Swiftie, rocking a red-and-white checkered dress reminiscent of the Reformation Sora Linen Dress that Taylor Swift sported at the US Open in September. Swift fans will remember the pop star’s appearance on September 8, where she cheered on her tennis favorites while sparking a wave of fashion envy with her effortlessly cool style. The 54-year-old didn’t hold back on the details, adding black oval sunglasses and brown sandals to channel the Eras singer’s exact vibe.
Consuelos went all in as well by donning a laid-back “country club” look inspired by Kelce’s outfit from the same event. Dressed in a polo shirt, cardigan, and beige shorts topped with a faux Gucci bucket hat, the Riverdale star nailed Kelce’s casual yet unmistakably cool style. To seal the deal, Consuelos even added a thick, fake mustache—a non-negotiable detail for truly capturing the essence of the NFL star.
In an interview with USA Today earlier this week, the duo laughed about the lengths they went to recreate the famous outfits. Ripa joked about the costume closet at Live and its lack of designer apparel, quipping, “We don’t typically keep real Gucci there.” But that didn’t stop them from pulling off the look. Case in point—Consuelos’ faux Gucci hat worked wonders in emulating Kelce’s outfit.
While the former Ally My Children actor has yet to meet the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, Consuelos admitted he wouldn’t mind a run-in, adding that Kelce “seems like a great guy and he’s funny.” He said with a laugh, “Who knows? He may see it and [be like], ‘Who’s that short guy trying to come off as me?’”
This isn’t the first time Ripa and Consuelos have wowed fans with themed costumes. The couple, known for their playful Halloween spirit, always manage to choose trendy, fan-favorite duos, keeping viewers entertained year after year. Last year, the pair donned no less than 50 costumes for Live’s special Halloween episode. Their hilarious outfits channeled Jersey Shore personalities JWoww and Snooki, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, and Sonny Bono and Cher.
