Lizzo channeled Elvira, Mistress of the Dark for the Halloween party she hosted at her $24M three-bedroom Beverly Hills home on Sunday night.

The 35-year-old rapper-singer-flautist – who previously dressed up as Tina Turner – flaunted maximum cleavage in the costume thanks to the custom bustier beneath.

Lizzo’s (born Melissa Jefferson) plunging, black velvet gown was co-designed by Iggy Soliven and Matthew Reisman.

The four-time Grammy winner’s black beehive wig was coiffed by JStayReady and her make-up artist Alexx Mayo applied long lashes and colorful shades on her eyelids.

Lizzo completed her vampy costume of the iconic horror hostess with a black manicure by nail artist Eri Ishizu.

The Special hitmaker – who boasts 45.9M social media followers – made sure to Instastory a selfie at the head of her dining table packed with plenty of friends and pals on the payroll.

Elvira, Mistress of the Dark was a character created by Cassandra Peterson and popularized by James Signorelli’s 1988 comedy cult classic movie of the same name.

The Kansas-born, former go-go dancer – who came out as a lesbian in 2021 – got back into costume as recent as last year when she celebrated her 71st birthday in a kiddie pool.

In the comments of Lizzo’s Instagram slideshow, fans wrote how they’ll never ‘forget’ the troubling allegations from her ex employees, scoffing: ‘Nah, Elvira respects the people she works with.’

Last Friday, the Detroit-born, Houston-raised star’s lawyers officially filed a motion in LA court to dismiss the sexual harassment lawsuit filed by three of her fired back-up dancers back in August.

‘Plaintiffs embarked on a press tour, vilifying defendants, and pushing their fabricated sob story in the courts and in the media. That ends today,’ attorney Marty Singer wrote in legal docs obtained by Billboard.

‘Instead of taking any accountability for their own actions, plaintiffs filed this lawsuit against defendants out of spite and in pursuit of media attention, public sympathy and a quick payday with minimal effort.’

The filing included sworn statements from 18 members of Lizzo’s touring company disputing facts presented in Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez’s lawsuit.

The trio claimed the ‘body-normative’ activist created a hostile work environment through sexual, religious, and racial harassment as well as fat-shaming during her 80-date Special Tour.

‘The defense’s declarants are either defendants accused of wrongdoing, or people who are on Lizzo’s payroll, and their statements can’t be considered by the judge,’ attorney Neama Rahmani told Billboard.

‘That’s a question for the jury. Our clients have dozens of independent witnesses who support their stories, and we continue to receive inquiries from other former Lizzo employees who want to be new plaintiffs.’

In her only statement on the lawsuit, Lizzo wrote it was ‘never my intention to make anyone feel uncomfortable.’

‘I am very open with my sexuality and expressing myself but I cannot accept or allow people to use that openness to make me out to be something I am not,’ the Emmy-winning producer wrote on August 3.

‘I know what it feels like to be body shamed on a daily basis and would absolutely never criticize or terminate an employee because of their weight.’

Lizzo did not, however, directly address allegations she was ‘arrogant, self-centered, and unkind’ from Oscar-nominated filmmaker Sophia Nahli Allison – who quit directing her HBO Max documentary in 2019 after two weeks because ‘I was treated with such disrespect.’

The Yitty co-creator has only performed once since the scandal when she accompanied the rock band Incubus on flute for their 2001 track Aqueous Transmission during their October 6th Hollywood Bowl concert.
