Zombies, food colouring-drenched vampires and a legion of Elevens took over the last few days, and what could be scarier? The impending peril the U.S faces should Trump become president, of course, and Lena Dunham’s Halloween costume encapsulates just that.

The Girls creator posted her outfit of choice on Instagram: a cat with roving hands on her chest and groin area. It takes direct inspiration from Trump’s crude comments about women on a leaked Access Hollywood tape from 2005.

On the uncovered tape, the Republican presidential candidate said: “You know, I’m automatically attracted to beautiful – I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything.”

Dunham captioned her IG photo with seasonal greetings: “Happy Halloween! With love from a Grabbed Pussy … #imanass”.

Elsewhere in the world, Beyoncé, daughter Blue Ivy and mother Tina Lawson turned back the clock to go as 90s faves Salt N Pepa. Kelly Rowland, attending the same party, went as total Betty, Clueless’s Dionne. Bey and family turned it out again to go as black Barbie and Ken. Rowan Blanchard dressed up as a murderous Marie Antoinette, whereas India Menuez turned it out as “a normal bro”.
