Actress Maris Racal brought a fun twist to Halloween this year by dressing up as Nadine Lustre, while co-star Anthony Jennings took on the role of James Reid.

The pair paid homage to the iconic JaDine love team, recreating Lustre’s look from her “Paligoy-ligoy” music video in a series of fun photos.

In an interview, Racal shared how the idea came together at the last minute. 

“Actually, last-minute idea lang talaga siya. Hinila ko lang si Anthony na, ‘Anthony, picture tayo!’ So yeah, nag-shoot kami,” she explained with a laugh. 

Although the shoot was spontaneous, Racal admitted she felt nervous about how Lustre might respond. “Kinabahan nga ako eh kasi parang okay lang ba to kay Ms. Nadine? But yeah, she loved it. So that’s a goal!” she said.

When asked if the costume choice held any deeper meaning, particularly with “Paligoy-ligoy” as the reference, Racal clarified that it was simply for fun. “Wala naman. I just love the song! Fun fun lang,” she said.

Fans of both JaDine and Maris were thrilled by the tribute, which quickly gained attention on social media including Lustre who left a comment on Racal's upload.

"the moves," Lustre wrote in the comment followed by a laughing and blackheart emoji.
