The couple went as a dead bride and groom as Savchenko wore white pants complete with a silver waistband and an open white vest. He also had a bullet wound on his forehead accompanied by fake blood.

Belle decided to wear white lace lingerie with thigh-high stockings and a veil. She also wore silver glitter high heels and also had a bullet hole in her head.

Although some of the comments were supportive and loved the costume choice, many others were not shy about how they felt about this year's Halloween costumes.

“Not a fan of this at all,” one fan commented on the post as another said “I’m thinking your ego has finally taken over. I’m cringing."

“Bad costume choice,” a third Instagram user chimed in.

Others aimed their comments towards Savchenko's girlfriend, saying, “That isn’t a Halloween costume it’s bedroom lingerie,” and another user writing, “She hot we get it, but she’s naked in 95%of her posts! I mean I guess if I looked like her I’d show my body off as well, but it make me think she’s all body and not much else."
