    Lots Of People Thought Jay Z Dressed Up As The Weeknd For Halloween

    But he's really supposed to be Jean-Michel Basquiat.

    On Halloween, Beyoncé dressed up as Frida Kahlo and Jay Z was the late artist Jean-Michel Basquiat.

    And Blue Ivy looked like she was a "Picasso baby."

    Jay's costume was especially accurate — he seemed to really be in the Halloween spirit.
