If you're still in the hunt for a Halloween costume, Florence Pugh has the perfect idea for you: go as her "Black Widow" character, Yelena Belova.

The 25-year-old actress took to Instagram on Tuesday to made a case for why people should dress up as her iconic spy and assassin from the big screen, and the reason is actually really simple. It's because the vest has pockets -- specifically, "a lot of handy pockets."

"Apparently Yelena didn't make the cut," Pugh wrote, sharing a photo of her standing in front of a display window that featured Scarlett Johansson and David Harbour's "Black Widow" characters -- the titular Black Widow herself, Natasha Romanoff, and Alexei Shostakov, otherwise known as Red Guardian.

"GUYS. I LITERALLY TALK ABOUT POCKETS IN NEARLY EVERY SCENE. Halloween= A LOT OF FREE SWEETIES. May I remind you that the vest has A LOT OF HANDY POCKETS," she continued. "Costume+vest+POCKETS= someone who came prepared."
