Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot cleared her calendar Monday for a special guest to visit her at City Hall.
And no, it wasn’t an influential office holder. It was her mini me, Idris Lockett, who made headlines after dressing up as the mayor for Halloween.
The 4-year-old’s costume — complete with Lightfoot’s pearl necklace and cropped gray hair — went viral, and caught the attention of the mayor, who shared the photo on Thursday with a caption that read “Totally nailed it.” Her Facebook post got over 6,800 reactions and was shared over 1,600 times.
Totally nailed it. #Halloween

Idris and his parents were interviewed by multiple local TV stations after his costume went viral, and he said he wanted to meet his powerful lookalike. On Saturday, Lightfoot tweeted that she was clearing her calendar to spend some time with the pint-sized pantsuit enthusiast.
“Over the Halloween weekend, the Internet went wild over 4-year-old Idris, who dressed as me for his costume. Today, I invited him to City Hall for an important meeting.” wrote Lightfoot on Facebook.
In the same post, Lightfoot addressed Idris: “Dare I say you have a very smart sense of style?”
