After Ciara dressed as her in 2024, GloRilla returned the Halloween love with looks inspired by Goodies and "Like You."

The early 2000s were calling, and GloRilla answered with not one, but two Halloween tributes to Ciara. The Memphis rapper revisited the R&B star's Goodies era before recruiting her boyfriend, NBA player Brandon Ingram, to recreate Ciara and Bow Wow's memorable "Like You" music video. The couple went all in on the nostalgia, paying homage to a time when the former lovebirds were among Hip Hop and R&B's most talked-about young couples.

Glo first recreated the cover of Ciara's 2004 debut album, Goodies, sporting the recognizable pink hoodie, long hair, and cross necklace. She later switched things up for the "Like You" recreation, with Ingram stepping into Bow Wow's role. The original 2005 video featured the then-couple playing neighbors who were romantically interested in one another. Their real-life relationship made the collaboration especially popular, with the song reaching No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Ciara Previously Dressed As GloRilla For Halloween

Interestingly, Glo's tribute comes two years after Ciara dressed as her for Halloween. In 2024, the singer hilariously recreated GloRilla's viral interview with Speedy Morman, complete with the rapper's Memphis accent and colorful outfit. She even mimicked Glo's pronunciation of certain words, which had left Speedy struggling to contain his laughter during their original conversation. The impersonation earned an enthusiastic response from Glo, who wrote, "One thing about it CICI gone do df outta Halloween lmao I luv dis @ciara."

Their mutual admiration isn't limited to Halloween, either. The two previously collaborated on the remix of Ciara's "Better Thangs" in 2022. This year's costumes are a playful return of the favor, although Glo brought her boyfriend along for the occasion. She and Ingram have been publicly linked since 2025, with the Toronto Raptors star occasionally appearing in her social media posts. This time, he traded the basketball court for Bow's wardrobe, helping Glo revisit two of Ciara's most celebrated early-career moments.
