Designer Marc Jacobs, the night's costume contest judge, also wowed in his hilarious female bodybuilder costume at the event, which celebrated the New York Restoration Project.��

Just a few weeks before reviving her famous character at her annual Halloween bash, Midler opened up to Billboard about why Hocus Pocus has remained a Halloween classic.

"You don't get to see women doing slapstick too much and in the movie you can see that we're having a blast," she shared. "All the shackles were off, as Donald Trump likes to say, and we were allowed to be as wild as we wanted to be. It was a perfect storm of fun."

"For the life of me, I can't understand why there's not a sequel," she added, echoing the sentiments of Hocus Pocus fans around the world.
