Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson and musician Ciara stunned fans on Halloween with their extravagant costumes. They channeled Janet Jackson and Busta Rhymes with 1998-inspired outfits. They then recreated the song, “What’s It Gonna Be,” also releasing a video to provide an enjoyable viewing experience. The power couple continued their long-running tradition of channeling heavy-hitters from music history.
When the fans saw the extravagant outfits, they immediately headed to social media to make comments. Many praised the pair for their continued dedication to the holiday, as well as each other. Some fans took a different approach and made jokes about the outfits and Wilson’s hair. The comments continued on Saturday and into November as more and more people saw the costumes and the music video.

There were many people on Twitter that were unhappy to see the video and the extravagant costumes. Many proclaimed that Wilson has “lost it” after marrying Ciara. However, this was not a universal opinion. Several others proclaimed that the power couple is just having fun and that they should continue.

ย Is it time for Wilson to change his brand? He previously sparked jokes with his nickname of “Mr. Unlimited,” but now many fans want to see some more changes. They called for the quarterback to grow out his hair and change his name to “Rusta,” a combination of Russell and Busta. The fans don’t know whether this will happen, but they expressed a desire to see the change in the near future.

How is it not? They’re a lawfully wedded couple, and Russ is just helping his wife with her career.

Every single year, Ciara and Wilson draw attention on Halloween. They partner to create extravagant group costumes, many of which reference musical history. They stunned in 2019 by recreating a photo of Jay-Z and Beyonce and continued the trend in 2020. The fans saw the Jackson-Rhymes outfits and proclaimed that the two had topped themselves once again. Others simply declared that there was no one that can compete with Wilson and Ciara when it comes to creating wild outfits.

There were several aspects of the costumes and accompanying video that sparked excitement among fans. Several said that they loved the shiny outfits, as well as the era-appropriate hairdos. However, many others focused on Ciara and her nails. She had painted “VOTE” in order to motivate people to take part in the upcoming election. Ciara did not tell the viewers who to vote for; she just simply encouraged them to take part in the process.
