Jessica Alba seemingly wiped her Halloween costume — a bloody recreation of Nancy Kerrigan’s 1994 attack — from her Instagram account amid backlash.

The actress’ Instagram upload was captured by the Daily Express over the weekend, with the caption reading, “Happy Halloween from Tonya [Harding] … and Nancy.”

Alba, 45, channeled the latter, 57, in a white dress, matching tights and ice skates, as well as a bloodstained knee bandage.

The “Honey” star’s pal stood beside her dressed as Harding, 55, in a sparkly maroon ensemble.

While Alba’s friend Kelly Sawyer held a baseball bat, Shane Stant, the man hired by Harding’s ex-husband who infamously assaulted Kerrigan in January 1994, used a police baton.

The headline-making moment happened ahead of the Olympic qualifiers, forcing Kerrigan to withdraw.

Harding, who was never criminally convicted of any involvement, was subsequently issued a lifetime ban from the U.S. Figure Skating Association — but recently went public with plans to return to the sport.

Many of Alba’s followers, according to the outlet, expressed their distaste for the costume choice in the comments section.

“Immature. We expect better, Jessica,” one wrote, while another questioned the duo “revisit[ing] this traumatic moment that ended people’s careers” and “making a Halloween costume out of a victim of an attack.”

A third referenced Martha Stewart’s viral decision to dress up as an unhoused person, writing, “Wow, first Martha and now Jessica. Why are we being nasty this Halloween?”

A slew of Reddit users, meanwhile, came to Alba’s defense.

“Eh. It’s been over 30 years, there’s been two feature films and, like, five made for TV movies about it,” one pointed out. “Seems like a pretty tame joke at this point.”

Alba’s rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

The actress has yet to comment on the backlash.

Although Alba’s original caption for the since-deleted photo referenced her 8-year-old son, Hayes, as a vampire, the little one’s costume is no longer visible on the “Dark Angel” alum’s account.

Alba is also the mother of daughters Honor, 18, and Haven, 15, with ex-husband Cash Warren — and the latter posted about her unicorn look via Instagram on Sunday.

She has been dating Danny Ramirez since her divorce last year, and the actor, 34, did not give any insight into his Halloween celebrations on social media over the weekend.
