Key Takeaways

  • Sexyy Red shared her Mystique Halloween costume on Instagram, recreating the X-Men shapeshifter’s blue skin and scales while adding a large patch of pubic hair.
  • She also wore the look onstage at Loe Shimmy’s “Zombieland” Halloween concert in Miami as fans questioned the added hair online.
  • Her Halloween lineup also included Katt Williams’ Money Mike from Friday After Next, following a 2023 Spider-Man look that fans copied.

Sexyy Red’s Halloween costume has gone viral for putting a rather intimate twist on one of Marvel’s most popular superheroes.

The rapper posted a set of Instagram photos showcasing her take on Marvel’s Mystique, a shape-shifter who has red hair and blue skin all over. For the most part, Sexyy Red’s version is faithful to the comic book source material, but she took some creative liberties assuming the carpet matches the drapes.

Though Mystique is often seen naked, depictions of her only show her skin and blue scales. Well, Sexyy Red went a step further and gave her a massive, 1970s-style bush.

The rapper also wore the full look on stage at Loe Shimmy's "Zombieland" Halloween concert in Miami.

Mystique wasn't her only costume this year. She also dressed as Katt Williams' Money Mike from Friday After Next.

Halloween has been her playground before. In 2023, she opened spooky season as Spider-Man, a costume fans went on to copy. She reshared fan-made versions of her own look that year with a warning attached: "Anybody dressed up as me fa Halloween make sure yall get pregnant too."
