Miley Cyrus and Cody Simpson are punks in love as they dress as rock legend Billy Idol and his 1980s flame Perri Lister for Halloween
She reprised her Black Mirror alter-ego Ashley O for Halloween earlier on Thursday.
But come night fall, when holiday revelers hit the streets and headed to parties to trick-or-treat, the pop princess showcased costume number two, which was a tag-team with her new beau Cody Simpson as Billy Idol and his longtime flame Perri Lister.
At one point, Idol and Lister were the toast of the post-punk scene of New York City following the huge success of the rock legend’s 1983 album Rebel Yell.
Before heading out on the town, Cyrus, 26, shared a snap of herself and Simpson in full costume with the caption: ‘BILLY ❤️ PERRI.’
Simpson opted to wear a classic black leather jacket with metal studs, along with black fitted pants and a black tank top, all staples of Idol.
Of course, the Aussie star tried to recreate the White Wedding singer’s signature spiky blonde hairdo that has made him an easily recognizable rock star to the present day.
Cyrus, who was dressed in leggings and a white crop top, had not yet changed into her costume.
For comparison, Cyrus also shared a snap of the real Idol and Lister snuggled up during their heyday as a couple in the mid-eighties.
The pop superstar also gave her 100 million Instagram followers a behind-the-scenes look at how she helped transform her beau in three more black-and-white photos.
‘makin up my man into baby billy idol! ❤️’ she shared in the caption.
Cyrus can be seen applying eye make-up to Simpson in two of the snaps that were presumably taken in her bathroom at her Los Angeles home.
He tried to emulate Idol’s famous lip-curling snarl in one of them.
The third picture in the series showed the two sharing a passionate kiss as the Wrecking Ball singer wrapped her arms around her man’s shoulders.
Idol and Lister were an item starting in 1980, one year before Idol’s first-wave punk band Generation X broke up, and Lister had made a name for herself in the British risqué dance troupe Hot Gossip.
Lister gave birth to the couple’s son, Willem Wolf, in 1988, and eventually they broke up for good in 1989.
Cyrus has been very open about her love Billy Idol’s music, and has even joined him on stage to perform his classic song Rebel Yell at the 2016 iHeartRadio festival in Las Vegas.
