Ripa wore her hair in ponytails with a stunning red flower crown that included gold spikes. Both her and Consuelo’s faces were painted with elaborate skeletal designs.

Ripa’s top was a tight-fitting leather corset that showed over her chest, while her arms and neck were covered in black mesh. Her tiered skirt featured rainbow colors, commonly associated with the Día de Muertos holiday and traditional Mexican heritage.

For those who may have had a hard time deciding what to wear, the organization has put together a 20-page lookbook to encourage creativity.

Many of the photos included wardrobe ideas for characters from television shows. Shown in the guide was BridgertonRegé-Jean Page, Jared Leto at the 2019 Met Gala when he was accompanied by a replica of his own head and Angelina Jolie as Evil.

Music director Clive Davis was among the honorees at this year’s event, receiving the Wind Beneath My Wings award. The organizers hired Dionne Warwick and Chlöe for live performances.

The Hocus pocus alum, 77, previously spoke with PEOPLE about her involvement in the 25th annual event.

“One of the main things we wanted to do was raise awareness of the organization and encourage others around the country to do something similar to the model we’ve established,” Midler said in October 2020.

“Everyone deserves access to high-quality public green space,” the NYRP website says, adding that it “works with residents in communities across the five boroughs to renovate gardens, restore parks, plant trees” and more.
