Gabourey Sidibe has seen the memes about her and Drake online, and she finds them hilarious. So hilarious, in fact, she turned them into a Halloween costume.

We love Gabby, and so do her fans. Her Drake costume gave us even more to love. Her level of “unbotheredness” is literally unmatched.

And she debuted the look right on J Hud’s stage.

Gabourey Sidibe Brings Her Drake Costume To “The Jennifer Hudson Show”

“I’m Drake leaving his 40th bday party,” Gabby told Jennifer Hudson on the Oct. 30 Halloween episode of “The Jennifer Hudson Show.”

Gabby had Drake’s now-viral look down. She wore his all-black outfit, complete with leather bottoms and a dark black top. But, of course, it was her caramel fringe shawl that really made the look a moment. The piece is a nod to the sweeping vintage Hermès piece Drake wore, a look the internet quickly turned into a meme.

To nail all that is Drake, the mother of two even added a fake beard. The second she walked onstage, J Hud’s audience erupted in applause, laughter and cheers.

When J Hud asked about the inspo behind the look, the “American Horror Story” actress shared she had seen the videos and comments. “There’s an AI video of him spliced onto my body, my paparazzi photos,” she explained. “I said [to myself] you think you can do better than me?” she joked. “Better than me?”

“So here I am my true self: Drake,” she continued before the two moved into a segment on last-minute costume ideas.

Drake hasn’t responded to Gabby’s tribute yet, but social media is already obsessed.

Gabby brought the cultural laughs to the show, while Janelle Monáe brought the crazy prosthetics.

Janelle doesn’t play about Halloween. As the self-proclaimed HalloQueen, they show up in costume for J Hud’s Halloween episode every year, and this time they arrived as Fish Boy. Full aquatic prosthetics covered their face, arms, and hands, and they paired the creature features with a pinstriped suit.

According to Janelle, they plan their costumes at least two to three years in advance. Fish Boy also appeared at Wondaween, their annual Halloween festival, which took over the Santa Monica Pier on Oct. 29 with a “Creature Carnival” theme.
