LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Ariana Grande and her long-time best friend Elizabeth ‘Liz’ Gillies are back with their elaborate Halloween costumes and acting stints and fans can’t get enough of them.

Ever since Grande and Gillies starred in the Nickelodeon show ‘Victorious,' the two talented actresses have developed a close bond that transcended the sets of the popular sitcom.

Similar to last year, both the ‘Side to Side’ singer and Gillies came up with elaborate Halloween-themed costumes.

On Monday, October 30, the two besties uploaded their ‘Showgirls’ themed costumes along with their mesmerizing recreation of scenes from the movie.  

Grande and the 'Dynasty' star shared intricate details of their appearance through various Instagram carousels and clips, which understandably left their fans in awe.

The ‘Everyday’ singer donned the look of Elizabeth Berkley’s Nomi Malone and Gillies adopted the look of Gina Gershon’s Cristal Connors from the 1995 Paul Verhoeven directorial. 

In one of the first posts of the series, Gillies and the Grammy-winning singer jointly shared a carousel of their images with the iconic line from 'Showgirls' in the caption, "You are a whore, Darlin’!"

One of the fans said, "I can't believe we have to wait for next Halloween for another one of these. THEY ARE TOOOOO GOOOOD!!!!!!!"

"You guys should make a short series with just y’all recreating iconic movies please I can’t wait for October every year," said another mesmerized fan.

Ariana Grande and Liz Gillies's Halloween-themed costumes from the previous year

This is, however, not the first time that the 'Victorious' alums have dressed up together for the spooky season. Last year the duo dressed up in characters from Christopher Guest's 2000 comedy mockumentary 'Best in Show.'

The 'Wicked' actress channeled her inner Jennifer Coolidge by donning a costume resembling her character Sherri Ann Cabot, while Gillies dressed up as Jane Lynch's character Christy Cummings, according to PEOPLE.
