Maya Jama is usually the most glamorous person in any room. This Halloween the TV host decided to be a bald British running legend instead. The results had people looking twice.

The presenter revealed her costume on Saturday, Oct. 31, ahead of her yearly Halloween party in London. She went as Sir Mo Farah, the four-time Olympic gold medalist. Her look included a bald cap, a little goatee and a pair of sneakers.

The best part was that most of it was real. Farah mailed her the actual outfit he raced in at the Olympics, along with his genuine medals. Jama thanked him and called him a hero for lending them out.

Mo did a double take

Jama also posted a video call with the man himself. Farah grinned at the screen and admitted that for a moment he honestly thought he was looking at himself. The two also filmed a few playful videos together for social media.

In her post Jama said she wanted to pay homage to her Olympic champion and joked that the two of them look alike if you squint. When a friend told her she never sees these costume choices coming, Jama replied that she had been sexy all year and wanted to switch it up.

Famous friends could not handle it

The comments filled up fast. Letitia Wright gave all the credit to the makeup team. Leigh-Anne Pinnock called it so good. Paloma Faith simply declared Jama the winner. Even the London Marathon got in on the fun, joking that the post looked like an announcement that she was entering the race.

Comedian Katherine Ryan had her own twist for the party. She showed up dressed as Jama herself.

The fun came right after a big week for Jama. She was banished in the final of Celebrity Traitors on Friday night and missed out on the prize. A day later she said she would donate the amount she could have won to Action for Children, a charity that helps kids have a safe and happy childhood.

So she lost a game show, gave the money away anyway and still won Halloween. Not a bad weekend.
