For the spooky celebration, Lyra looked adorable in a ruffled orange top and a voluminous black tutu. The tiny tot looked so grown up in her Halloween outfit which also featured sparkly gold bows for a shimmery touch.

On her feet, meanwhile, Lyra wore a pair of lace-trimmed socks and a pair of patent shoes. She looked so sweet alongside her parents who also embraced the spooky occasion.

Dressed up to the nines, Miami-born Janette looked flawless in a mini black skirt which she teamed with a sheer polka-dot top complete with puffed sleeves. To toughen up her look, the TV presenter wore a pair of fishnet tights, some chunky, black leather boots and a berry lipstick.

Aljaz, meanwhile, echoed his wife's head-to-toe black outfit and modelled a sweeping black coat, black trousers, and an orange shirt emblazoned with black cats. A pair of suede orange trainers completed his autumnal get-up.

Sharing a sneak peek inside their weekend, Janette penned in her caption: "Our first #Halloween weekend as a family of 3! Bučka (and Bučko) are the nicknames @aljazskorjanec and I call each other, and it means 'pumpkin' in Slovenian."
