For those of you who stressed out about finding a wig, makeup, and crazy props for your costume this past weekend, maybe next year you’ll keep Ellen DeGeneres’ Halloween costume in mind.
For her Friday show last week, Ellen Degeneres dressed up as Oprah’s ‘O’ Magazine. Peeping through a cut-out hole for her face, the comedic talk show host said proudly, “All I’m wearing under here are slacks and a smile.” But the costume may have been more about ease; it may have been a hint at the upcoming cover of O Magazine, which Degeneres will be appearing on with Oprah Winfrey. Watch this video of the funny host commenting on her own costume.
