Kim Kardashian, Olivia Pierson & Natalie Halcro Cosplay As X-Men

Kim Kardashian and friends attended Girlfriends, Black-ish and Mixed-Ish actor Tracee Ellis Ross' 50th birthday the night before Hallowe'en in full X-Men fancy dress. Only to discover that it wasn't a costume party. Kim Kardashian who dressed as the Fox movie version of Mystique, also attended with fellow influencer Olivia Pierson as comic book-accurate Magik and her cousin, Canadian actor Natalie Halcro as Selene.  Kim later posted "that time I showed up to a birthday dinner in full costume when it wasn't a costume party!" Still, it gave them all a chance to post on Instagram and Twitter of their mutant looks for the evening.

And for Kim Kardashian to make a blatant appeal to Marvel in case they are thinking of recasting the character in new movies…

Olivia Pierson posted her own gallery as Magik.

UPDATE: She also adds "The amazing artist @LukasWerneck's creation of MAGIK was my inspiration for my costume!"

Of course, there is social media Kardashian reaction

There were, naturally, some entertaining responses on social media as #Mystique started to trend.

Joe Glass: "Do the Kardashians read X-Men?! Like, Selene is such a deep dive for anyone who doesn't read the comics. Heck, a fairly comics accurate Magik is too, pretty much"

Nola Pfau: "The way Hollywood is just saying "X-men" this year, I love it"

Isaiah Cox: "I need to know WHO in Kim Kardashian's camp is an X-Men fan cuz having a costume photoshoot with Magik and SELENE???? Like, these are not characters known by the general public, this is wild"

Will: "It really feels like someone (Disney???) paid a bunch of celebrities to dress as mutants. I just reject that any Kardashian knows who Selene is (I've been reading X-Men for almost a decade and until a year ago I barely knew)"

Yeah, yeah, like anyone at Disney knows who Selene is… No fake geek girl gatekeeping here! Although she did once, in a fever, mix up Black Panther and Pink Panther. Easily done!
