No one can top this, unless that person is Margot Robbie!
Every year in Kobe, the Japanese rock band VAMPS hosts a Halloween party where the various artists in attendance are dressed to the nines in full Halloween regalia and this year looks to be no different. The costumes can be seriously impressive, too, as VAMPS’ lead singer Hyde recently revealed his look for this year’s gala and stunned the Internet.

Nope, that’s not Harley Quinn; that’s a 47-year old man.

Pictured above with Hyde is the bassist from the band Sid, Aki. But let’s be real, Hyde is totally stealing the show in this picture. It seems like if there’s a fountain of youth, Hyde’s found it and is making full use of it!

If previous years are any indication, then Hyde and Halloween Party guests will be delighting us with at least two more costumes to come. Until then, maybe you’d like to pick up some delicious “fingers” from Maison Kayser or follow in Hyde’s footsteps and dress up as Harley Quinn as part of the costume trend taking Japan by storm this year.
