This Halloween, Salma Hayek turned to BFF Penélope Cruz for inspiration — quite literally.

When deciding on a costume for Vas J Morgan and Michael Braun’s “Hockey Halloween Bash,” Hayek chose Piña, Cruz’s character from “The Invite.”

The actress was photographed inside the party, but her look was also shared by her makeup artist, Pablo Maciasr, on Instagram on Sunday.

Hayek, 60, totally transformed, ditching her signature raven black hair for a bright blond bob with bangs, thanks to Eduardo Ponce.

She wore a black silk button-down, jeans, and a black leather jacket on top to complete the look from the A24 flick, which also stars Olivia Wilde, Seth Rogan and Ed Norton.

Cruz has yet to share her thoughts on Hayek’s costume honoring their 30-year friendship but the “Frida” star nailed the costume.

The pair’s history goes deep, with Cruz recently revealing that she once did Hayek’s makeup for a movie premiere after her glam squad canceled — and her electricity went out.

Surprisingly, the two have only starred in one movie together: 2006’s “Bandidas.”

Perhaps next year, the Chanel ambassador will dress as Hayek.
