Beyoncé​ is in a 1990's mood as she salutes singer Toni Braxton for Halloween.

Beyoncé​​ posted images on Instagram of herself dressed in a pixie wig, leather jacket, white tank top and jeans to re-create images from Braxton's 1993 self-titled debut album.

She labelled the look "Phoni Braxton​."

In the last of the three images she shared, Beyoncé​ wrote: "Sending love and adoration to one of our talented legends. Thank you for the countless bops. Your tone, your beauty, your range and your God-given talent is treasured."

Halloween tradition

Braxton returned the love on Twitter by asking how Bey could "look better than me on MY album cover?"

Beyoncé​​ channeling other artists is a bit of a Halloween tradition.

Last year, it was Lil' Kim, and in previous years she has dressed up as Janet Jackson and a member of 90's female rap trio Salt-N-Pepa.
