Many eagle-eyed fans were quick to point out the uncanny resemblance between Kourtney and Travis's Halloween look and that of Bella Hadid and The Weeknd, who had sported a strikingly similar ensemble back in 2018.
Kourtney and Travis's Halloween fashion choice inadvertently sparked a spirited debate about who wore it best.
What's more, a considerable number of comments started flooding in, with some proclaiming that the latter couple had pulled off the look even better.
Users on Instagram wrote, "The Weeknd and Bella did it better though."

Other users straight up made comparisons between the Bella and Kourtney saying, "Bella did it better."
The Weeknd and Bella Hadid's Halloween look
In 2018, fashion icons Bella Hadid and The Weeknd donned striking costumes inspired by Tim Burton's Beetlejuice for Halloween.
The Weeknd embodied the film's titular character with remarkable accuracy, while Bella took on the role of Lydia Deetz, Winona Ryder's goth teen character.
Together, they made a memorable appearance at Heidi Klum's annual Halloween bash. Bella's Lydia Deetz costume was adorned with dried flowers, adding to the undead bride effect.
Their meticulous attention to detail and dedication to the theme had impressed onlookers.
Despite their breakup in 2016, Bella and The Weeknd's occasional interactions kept the media buzzing till they made headlines at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival when they were spotted sharing a kiss.
Kourtney Kardashian slammed for copying Kim Kardashian's Halloween look
Just a few days ago, Kourtney Kardashian found herself in the midst of a social media storm when she decided to wear the very same dress that her sister, Kim Kardashian, famously donned for her debut Met Gala appearance.
While it was Halloween and costume choices are often subject to playful scrutiny, Kourtney's selection ignited a firestorm of comments and controversy.
Many slammed her for what appeared to be an attempt to replicate Kim's iconic Met Gala look, while others suspected a deeper intention.
Kim's original appearance in that dress at the Met Gala had attracted considerable attention, particularly due to her pregnancy at the time, which led to unkind comparisons likening her to furniture in the dress.
Netizens were quick to speculate that Kourtney's choice to wear the same outfit on Halloween wasn't merely a coincidence but an intentional nod to her sister's Met Gala moment.
Some interpreted it as a playful form of sibling rivalry or even a humorous attempt to throw shade at Kim for the past trolling she endured.
Travis Barker calls his rumors with Kim Kardashian ‘ridiculous’
In a candid interview with the Times, Travis Barker stepped up to address fan speculation that has been swirling around his wife, Kourtney Kardashian Barker, and her sister Kim.
Contrary to popular belief, Barker firmly maintained that the tension between the sisters had nothing to do with brand collaborations, as they've previously stated, but instead, it harked back to Barker's own past history with Kim.
The genesis of the rumors lay in Barker's 2016 memoir, where the Blink-182 drummer candidly admitted to having a crush on Kim even before he met Kourtney.
He openly expressed his attraction to Kim, describing her as "hot." However, he was equally transparent about the fact that despite the attraction, nothing ever transpired between him and Kim.
This revelation ignited a whirlwind of assumptions, with many swiftly concluding that the ongoing feud between the two Kardashian sisters stemmed from Barker's candid confession.
However, the soon-to-be father firmly debunked these rumors in his interview, labeling them as "ridiculous."
When are Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker expecting their first baby?
While the exact date of Kourtney Kardashian's baby delivery remains a well-guarded secret, it's no secret that most expectant parents tend to make their pregnancy announcements around the 12-week mark.
So, if we assume Kourtney was precisely 12 weeks along when she shared the exciting news, it would hint at a due date somewhere in the vicinity of late December 2023.
