Married co-hosts Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are set to enchant audiences with their annual Halloween special on *Live with Kelly and Mark*, which promises an impressive display of costumes, celebrity guests, and playful parodies of the year’s most notable pop culture events.
The Halloween episode, airing on the 30th of October, will feature Ripa and Consuelos donning costumes inspired by beloved Marvel characters. Ripa will take on the role of Yelena Belova, a character famously portrayed by Florence Pugh, while Consuelos will embody the iconic Spider-Man, as depicted by Tom Holland. PEOPLE has secured an exclusive preview of their eye-catching outfits, which include Ripa’s tactical green ensemble and Consuelos’ vibrant red-and-blue suit.
This special event is structured to include more than 60 costume changes, as Ripa and Consuelos embrace the Halloween spirit with enthusiasm and creativity. Earlier versions of their Halloween spectacular had already demonstrated their flair for costume transformations; in last year’s show, the couple dressed as superhero couple Reed Richards and Sue Storm from an anticipated adaptation of *The Fantastic Four*.
The upcoming episode, whimsically titled *Live’s Halloween Shockin’ Eve*, will celebrate the year’s most significant cultural phenomena through humorous sketches. Audiences can expect a lively recap of viral trends and notable moments, with Ripa and Consuelos infusing their trademark humour into various performances, inspired by trending topics like the reality show *The Traitors* and viral sensations such as Squishies.
Celebrity judges Lisa Rinna and Jerry O’Connell will join the celebration, adjudicating the show’s traditional Halloween costume contest. This segment has become particularly popular over the years, with eager fans regularly arriving at the studio as early as 4 a.m. to showcase their creativity and join in on the fun.
This year marks the second Halloween special to be filmed in the show’s newly designed studio, where the production team is prepared to deliver an entertaining experience for viewers as they continue the tradition of celebrating one of the show’s most anticipated broadcasts, alongside their post-Oscars episode.
Ripa and Consuelos have developed a reputation for their extravagant costumes and their ability to self-deprecate while poking fun at the year’s entertainment headlines. In previous years, their Halloween specials have seen them transform into a multitude of characters—from pop stars to fictional figures. Last year’s show witnessed them sport an astonishing 74 different outfits, showcasing the pair’s commitment to creativity and engagement with their audience.
As Halloween approaches, fans are eagerly anticipating the array of costume revelations that Ripa and Consuelos will bring to the screen. Each transformation is not only a testament to their enthusiasm for the occasion but also a celebration of the past year’s memorable moments in entertainment.
*Live’s Halloween Shockin’ Eve* is set to air on 30th October. Viewers are encouraged to check local listings for specific broadcast times, as Ripa and Consuelos prepare to deliver a show filled with laughter, creativity, and unexpected surprises.
