8 Celebrity Halloween Costume Fails You Shouldn't Try

There’s probably no celeb whose Halloween costume every year is as highly anticipated as Heidi Klum's, but in 2008 she angered Hindus by dressing up as the goddess Kali complete with fake severed heads and limbs. Maybe she should have gone as a Smurf instead to avoid this blue-boo.

An innocuous couple’s outfit referencing the Cowboys and Indians game quickly turned into a PR nightmare for John Legend and Chrissy Teigen, who said, “It was, to me, very cute, but now thinking back I’d never do it again. Bad idea, Chrissy, bad idea!”

Julianne Hough got creative dressing up as Orange is the New Black’s Crazy Eyes, except she added very un-PC blackface make-up to pass off as the character. It’s said that actress Isla Fisher reportedly told Julianne to “go to the bathroom and wipe [her] face off”.

If Chris Brown wanted to scare people, he didn’t even need this terrorist costume; he could have just turned up as a girlfriend beater.

As if wearing Native American traditional garb to a Halloween party isn’t already wrong, Paris Hilton faked a deep tan and made her costume gratuitously sexy. Naturally, she got slammed online faster than you could say, “That’s racist”.

“We getting Arab money tonight,” Instagrammed Scott Disick before he was showered in — not cash — but angry tweets from netizens about cultural appropriation.

Singer Lily Allen got togged up as embattled music producer Dr Luke (who was accused of raping singer Kesha) complete with a blue name tag which read: ‘Dr. Luke, Gynaecology Department’. Too soon?

Pretty Little Liars star Ashley Benson got slammed in 2015 for wearing a Cecil the Lion costume — the lion was shot that year by a trophy hunter, and its death had animal rights activists up in arms.
