Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker from Boygenius referenced an iconic Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande shot.

Finneas showed up to the party as a Blink-182 fan? A Blink-182 member? Honestly, the only thing more confusing is Justin Bieber's tourist costume, which featured literal flippers.

Joey King and Steven Piet pulled out all the stops to dress up as the characters from Barton Fink.

Christy Carlson Romano, who voiced Kim Possible, switched things up and went as Shego!

Meanwhile, Victoria Justice showed up to the party as Cher's "Turn Back Time," while some of her sister Madison appears to be dressed up as Ariana Grande's Dangerous Woman album cover.

F1 Racecar Driver Halloween Costume

The bold red of this look is the perfect color to match the ferociousness of an F1 driver. Unzipping the top of the jumpsuit, as well as adding a bold lip, beach waves, and a fresh manibring some femininity to the look if you want extra detail. However, you'll look just as good fresh-faced with a messy bun if that's more your speed...no pun intended.

The great thing about wearing a jumpsuit for your Halloween costume is that you only need to worry about one base instead of multiple pieces. Roll up the sleeves if you don't want to deal with extra fabric near your wrists or if you want to wear bracelets. Any details on the jumpsuit — including zippers, buckles, or snaps — will give it even more of a utility look.

In terms of accessories, feel free to break out your favorite fall shoe trend, whether it's white boots or metallic shoes for some shine. We'd recommend keeping the color palette and textures simple so that the jumpsuit really takes center stage. Oh yeah, and don't forget the racing helmet.

Whether you want to do a fall makeup look or go sans makeup for this Halloween costume is totally up to you, but you can't go wrong with some messy waves and a red lip. It's classic!

More F1 Driver Fashion Inspo

With the popularity of the F1 drivers — and F1 racing in general — we've gotten a whole new wave of racing-inspired fashion. We're talking checkered prints, baggy pants, and huge jackets that create a look that feels laidback and edgy at the same time. You don't have to be an F1 or NASCAR driver to knock these looks out of the park.

Play with silhouettes when you pair a baggy jacket with a tighter bodysuit.

Give racing fashion a chic upgrade when you dress in head-to-toe black. You still have that laidback feel, but the monochromatic 'fit keeps things cohesive.

Just because you're wearing cargo pants doesn't mean you have to go super casual. A pop of color and even a pair of heels can dress up your look in a totally unexpected way.

If you're not too sure about the '90s feel of baggy jackets and sweatpants, opt for a cropped and fitted leather jacket that still looks amazing.

As a Power of Women honoree, Mariska was recognized in regards to her work as an advocate for sexual assault survivors. She took the stage and used her platform to discuss rape and assault conviction reversals, shining a light on the recent overturned ruling in Harvey Weinstein's landmark NYC case. Here's what she said:

Today I want to talk about reversing convictions, and more specifically I want to talk to you about how impossible it is to reverse mine. It’s impossible to reverse my conviction that survivors matter. It is impossible to reverse my conviction that what happens to us matters, and that our society must respond to survivors with a more a compassionate, holistically, deeper, and more nuanced understanding of what healing means.

It is impossible to reverse my conviction that after a trauma, survivors can reclaim lives of hope, of possibility, of audacious risk, beautiful intimacy, and glorious, glorious abundant joy. And I stand before you as evidence of that statement.

It is impossible to reverse my conviction that we must listen to survivors as experts on what justice means. It is extraordinary how little their voices are consulted, let alone incorporated, in the process of deciding how to repair harm. Justice is not a one-size-fits-all journey.

It is impossible to reverse my conviction that patriarchal impunity has to end. Patriarchal impunity is when a male-dominated system exempts perpetrators from punishment. Studies show that only 20% of all rape cases in the U.S. are reported to the police, and that between 5 and 0% of all rapes result in a guilty plea or a conviction. So why do 80% of victims not report? Because they're met with a system that grants impunity to perpetrators; a system that blames victims; a system that accepts only those victims who are experienced as "real" rape; a system that completely misunderstands the neurobiology of trauma, which causes behavior in women that doesn't fit the picture of how a "real victim" would act.

Is that change needed that victims should just pull themselves together? Just buck up and report anyway? No. No, it's the system that receives them that needs to change

It is impossible to reverse my conviction — and the conviction of my extraordinary team, The Joyful Heart — that the backlog of untested rape kits can be brought to zero; that the testing of all new kits must be mandated; that we need a statewide kit tracking system; and that survivors have the right to access the status of their kits.

It is impossible to reverse my conviction that grammar — yes, grammar — that we use when we speak about rape must change. In the sentence, "A woman is raped," there's a crime and there's a victim, but there's no perpetrator. Where's the perpetrator? Where is he? Statistically, as we know, most likely he's walking free. He's so free that he doesn't even appear in the language about the crime that he committed. Is that not extraordinary? It's extraordinary that in the very grammar, the perpetrator goes free. Reintroducing perpetrators in the language of rape will make some very unwieldy grammar, but that's the nature of change. It's unwieldy, it's messy, it's uncomfortable, but it's necessary.

Hargitay continued on in her prolific speech to describe that rape shouldn't be considered a "crime of passion" because it's "not simply the next step in the trajectory of his passion" when a man takes a consensual hookup too far and assaults a woman against her will. She stated that it's "an exercise of power," doubling down that the language we use is important.

The speech went on to address that rape is both about power and control, as a "construct" that was "built, and assembled, and reinforced over time." She noted that there are people with these positions of power — and she specifically called out those in the entertainment industry — that could make a difference and aligned themselves to victims and survivors.

After this and some other remarks, Hargitay specifically called out the Weinstein conviction reversal. She said:

I do want to say something about the Harvey Weinstein conviction, specifically about the reason that it was overturned: too many women's voices. Too many women's voices were allowed to speak. Hallelujah! Amen! I can't imagine anything more beautiful than that. The Daily podcast episode talked about how it was so risky for the prosecution to have that many women testify. Risky to let women speak? You're damn right it is!

Too many women speaking brings change. Too many women speaking shakes the establishment. Too many women means we get listened to more, and people might actually hear what we have to say. Look what happened when women started saying just two words, right? Me too — just as an example — a tidal wave of change. Me too.

And then of course, there was the response: the Me Too Movement. The backlash. The examination of whether the changes that have come are lasting, or are even positive. Of course there's a backlash! What did they expect? For women to speak repeatedly, loudly, together, with a purpose — for there to be no backlash? The backlash is evidence of how powerful those voices were, how powerful those voices ARE.
