GloRilla Returns Ciara’s Halloween Favor, With Brandon Ingram as Bow Wow

Two years after Ciara dressed as her, GloRilla returned the favor: a Goodies-era Ciara, then a “Like You” elevator scene with boyfriend Brandon Ingram playing a young Bow Wow.

The Lowdown

In 2024, Ciara dressed up as GloRilla for Halloween. This year, GloRilla paid her back twice: first as Goodies-era Ciara, then as Ciara opposite her boyfriend, Los Angeles Clippers forward Brandon Ingram, playing a young Bow Wow in the “Like You” elevator scene (Complex; SI).

Key Takeaways

  • GloRilla posted the looks on Friday, Oct. 30, starting with a recreation of the cover of Ciara’s 2004 debut album, Goodies (Complex; SI).
  • In a second post, she and Ingram restaged the elevator scene from Ciara and Bow Wow’s 2005 “Like You” video (Complex; SI).
  • Her caption borrowed from the song: “Cause Ian never had nobody do me like youuuu” (Complex).
  • It’s a full-circle moment. In 2024, Ciara dressed as Glo and recreated her viral Complex interview, and Glo wrote, “CICI gone do df outta Halloween lmao I luv dis” (Complex; HipHopDX).
  • SI calls it the couple’s first Halloween costume together (SI).

The Story

The first look was all Ciara, circa 2004. GloRilla recreated the Goodies cover with a pink hoodie, long flowing hair and a cross necklace, according to Complex, and matched the era’s bubblegum-pink makeup, per SI (Complex; SI).

The second look brought in Ingram. Ciara and Bow Wow were dating when they made “Like You” in 2005, and the video casts them as neighbors flirting in an elevator. Glo and Ingram filmed their version in an elevator too, with Ingram’s braids styled after Bow Wow’s from the video (SI; Complex).

By Saturday, reposts were circulating on X, and Sports Illustrated covered the costumes alongside music outlets (@HaterReport on X; SI).

A two-year Halloween exchange

The tribute answers one Ciara started. For Halloween 2024, Ciara dressed as GloRilla and recreated the rapper’s viral Complex interview with Speedy Morman, down to the giant hoop earrings and a “YWR” chain (Complex). Glo loved it, writing “Lmaoooo CICI OMG” before reposting it with “CICI gone do df outta Halloween lmao I luv dis” (HipHopDX).

The two already had history. GloRilla jumped on the remix of Ciara’s “Better Thangs” in 2022 (Complex).

The Background

GloRilla and Ingram first crossed paths at a Grizzlies-Pelicans game in November 2024, sparked romance rumors months later at her birthday in Cabo San Lucas, and went public courtside at a Toronto Raptors game last season, according to SI. Ingram now plays for the Clippers (SI). For more of the weekend’s costumes, see PCP’s celebrity Halloween roundup.
