Gwyneth Paltrow has “won Halloween” by dressing up as her “head in a box” from Seven, film fans have said.

The Hollywood actress played the wife of a detective (Brad Pitt) who is beheaded by a serial killer (Kevin Spacey) in the 1995 thriller, with her head ending up in a box.

She reprised the grisly scene for the spooky event, with her friend Brad Falchuk standing in as Spacey’s character.

A hilarious image posted on Instagram shows Paltrow slumped in a bath with her head inside a cardboard box which has a “Fragile” label on the side.

Falchuk sits with her in the tub, dressed in a prisoner’s orange jumpsuit.
