Kelly Ripa and her husband Mark Consuelos dressed up as an iconic couple for Halloween.
The 53-year-old host of Live! got dolled up as Barbie for the spooky holiday edition of the show, while her handsome beau, also 52, made quite the splash as Ken.
Kelly channeled the Mattel toy to perfection, complete with a pink plaid jumper and long blonde wig, while Mark looked every inch Barbie's main squeeze rocking a pink striped shirt and his own blonde hair piece.
The adorable couple even gave a behind-the-scenes look at how they transformed into the fabulous duo.
Kelly wasn't the only A-list star to take on the statuesque plastic stunner, as the likes of Hailey Bieber, Kelsea Ballerini and Paris Hilton dressed up as Barbie too.

Run for their money: Kelly and Mark channeled Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie in Barbie the movie
Kelly and Mark have been inseparable since Mark took over the co-hosting chair on Live! following Ryan Seacrest's departure earlier this year.
With Ryan's exit, there has been speculation if Kelly plans to follow him out the door anytime soon.
Although Kelly might be in the seat a little while longer with her husband of over 2 decades by her side, she has previously hinted at when she might quit.
'Oh, gosh! I think about it all the time,' she dished to Extra in September 2022. 'I've been quiet quitting for at least 10 years, maybe 15,' she added.
Kelly even suggested when she might introduce a new host to take over.
'I do believe in shepherding in somebody new,' she said to the outlet. 'I would like to -- in the not-too-distant future -- see that somebody gets to ingratiate themselves into our audiences' life.'
She shared the same sentiment during a chat with Variety that was published on March 28, 2023.
'I don't want to put a timeline on it, but I do believe there is a great opportunity to get two younger people and start training them, because I like seamless transitions,' she noted. 'However long it takes to get two people up and ready is how long we'll be there.'

On Apr. 16, 2023, Kelly delivered a similar sentiment once more during an interview with Entertainment Weekly. When asked if she is ready to retire for good, the blonde beauty made it clear that it is on her mind.
'It's so funny. Every time you get a new cohost, it's like a little jolt of energy. But to be clear, I am always thinking about retiring. It is my favorite topic of discussion,' she said amid her husband's debut on the show.
Despite this, she did explain that Mark coming in as her new co-host adds a reason for her to stay longer.
'A daily morning live talk show is nothing without its consistency and continuity. And Mark provides that, not just for our audience, but for me, for our producers. And so if anybody could make me stay, it is definitely Mark,' Kelly added.

Barbie has become the highest-grossing movie of 2023.
The blockbuster summer comedy - which stars Margot Robbie as the titular Mattel doll - has reportedly passed The Super Mario Bros. Movie at the box office, with Variety revealing that in September, the film has now brought in a total of $1.36 billion since its release in July.
In recent days, Barbie also became Warner Bros' highest-grossing film ever as it passed the record set by 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two', which was the final instalment of the megahit wizarding franchise based on the magical book series by J.K Rowling.
Greta Gerwig's smash hit - which also stars Ryan Gosling as Barbie's boyfriend Ken - was released on the same day as wartime drama Oppenheimer and the two films sparked a phenomenon known as Barbeheimer due to their polarity, and the weekend also saw the Christopher Nolan- directed epic become the second-highest-grossing R-rated movie in history.

This comes after Greta Gerwig said she stood behind the audience at some showings of Barbie.
The 40-year-old filmmaker wrote and directed the smash hit comedy starring Margot Robbie as the iconic Mattel doll and explained that after it was released in cinemas, she would go round to various theatres while it was playing and even took control of the volume on occasion.
She told The Hollywood Reporter: 'I went around to different theatres and sort of stood in the back, and would then also turn up the volume up if I felt it wasn't playing at the perfect level.'
Greta went on to add that she has been 'incredibly moved' by the reception of the film, which has seen it become the highest-grossing film of 2023, Warner Bros.' highest-grossing film of all time and the highest-grossing film by a solo female director.
She said: 'It's like this incredible sense of 'the song that it's in my heart is in other people's hearts. It's been incredibly moving.'

Kylie Jenner's Halloween costume in 2018 was Barbie.
The makeup mogul posted a photo to Instagram where she was dressed as a Barbie in a pink bathing suit.
The mother to Stormi Webster was standing in a giant Barbie box with a plastic clip around her waist. The caption read, 'Kylie Jenner dresses up as a real-life Barbie in a giant box as she says 'life in plastic, it's fantastic.'
Kylie wore a blonde wig with soft curls and a large round pendant necklace.
Her makeup was different shades of pink that matched her manicure. And she had on a fresh spray tan.
Some comments were flattering ('you nailed it,' 'hot!') and others were negative: 'Very ironic hahah... you are plastic in and out the box honey ..'

She said: 'I'm in the writing process and it's hard because I'm having recurring nightmares!'
Greta recently explained that she enjoys writing scripts but often finds it to be a 'painful' experience.

Greta - who enjoyed success of an actress before she switched her focus to film-making - told Deadline: 'Writing is the thing I most enjoy having done but it feels painful when I'm doing it. Writing is painful to me in a deep way.
'You're by yourself and it's quiet. Every voice you've ever had in your head that says 'you're not very good' is loud.'
Greta also revealed that she doesn't plan to act in her own films.
She shared: 'I like being in the hands of the director and giving them what they want. That's why I've never acted in my films and never want to. I like giving over. I would deny the pleasure of both things if I did that.'
The Barbie movie featured 'a sophisticated interpretation of Barbie fashion', according to a fashion historian.
Karan Feder is an expert in Barbie fashion who has written the upcoming book 'Barbie Takes the Catwalk: A Style Icon's History in Fashion' and believes Greta Gerwig's movie, starring Margot Robbie, got the iconic doll's style exactly right.
Speaking to PEOPLE, Karan said: 'I thought it was really a sophisticated interpretation of Barbie fashion, and embraced the love of the doll and the fashion history.
'[Costume designer Jacqueline Durran] didn't make things comically oversized, even though she could have because she was dealing with dolls. She didn't make the buttons huge. You didn't see huge zippers out of scale. They were oversized, but they weren't comically large. I appreciated that little decision because I know that was a decision. You could have taken everything to scale and it would've been comical. And that I'm sure would've distracted from the narrative as a result.'
Karan was also impressed by Chanel's collaboration with the 'Barbie' movie.
She said: 'I thought that the Chanel statement was super great. The Barbie fashion designers' mission was always to reflect culture. Their charge was, 'Let's look at the catwalk. Let's look at what people are wearing on the streets. Let's look at what celebrities are wearing. Let's look at what's going on in culture.' All these things merged to define what Barbie actually wore. Barbie got her first Chanel skirt suit in the late '80s, and it was a mid-calf version of that Chanel skirt suit. The replica Barbie outfit [in the movie] is pretty close. It's not hard to say, 'Oh yeah, that's a Chanel look.'
'I love that Chanel raised their hands and said, 'Okay, we're with Margot anyway. We want to give you guys whatever you need.' I just think that combination and that collaboration between the brands -- Barbie and Chanel -- and then also that Margot was already on the Chanel team, I think that just really works. There's a lot of chemistry there, but it also makes perfect sense for the heritage of the brand too.'
