Halloween 2025 may have officially wrapped up, but we’re still in stitches over Olivia Dunne and Paul Skenes’s hilarious couple’s costume.

The retired NCAA gymnast-turned-social media superstar and Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher certainly got in the spirit of the spooky holiday last night, with Dunne sharing a sneak peek at their pop culture-inspired couple’s costume on her TikTok account to the delight of her 8 million fans. And honestly, what else is there to say about it except: “Very nice.”

Borat meets Baywatch

In the short video clip, the couple revealed that they decided to channel the cult classic film Borat for their Halloween night out. (For those not in the know, the plot of the 2006 film featured a subplot in which the titular character falls in love with actress and living legend Pamela Anderson after seeing her on TV.)

The couple expertly embodied their respective characters, with Dunne wearing a full recreation of Anderson’s iconic Baywatch ensemble, complete with the perfect cherry-red one-piece swimsuit, a matching pair of micro shorts and a cozy-looking windbreaker. The model pulled her signature platinum blonde hair back into a low, spiky, Y2K-inspired bun for the look, while her makeup was a gorgeous glam complete with rosy cheeks, smoky eyeshadow and a pink lip. However, Dunne opted to keep her eyebrows fluffy and thick, steering away from that classic Anderson 1990s thin shape.

Meanwhile, Skenes was fully committed to the bit when it came to embodying the offbeat Sasha Baron Cohen character. From his gray suit and messy hairdo to the small American flag he carried with him, the record-breaking pitcher was all in on his imitation. However, the part that shocked fans most about his look was his decision to shave his beard for the costume, instead showing off an extremely bushy mustache as the perfect final touch.

Fans can’t get enough

As you can imagine, fans of the rising power couple shared plenty of gasps and giggles over the pair’s exceptional take on the classic characters, sharing some love—as well as plenty of jokes—in Dunne’s comment section on TikTok:

“Most emotional I’ve ever seen Paul 🥲,” one fan joked, referring to Skenes’s lighthearted demeanor in the video.

“My goat back to the stache ❤️🔥🔥,” another commenter applauded.

“This Halloween costume combination is absolutely iconic!” One follower declared, “Pamela Anderson and Borat make the perfect duo. Love the creativity here!”

Meanwhile, another fan simply concluded: “This is peak content.”
