Ruin My Week
People are obsessed with finding the perfect Halloween costume and yet oftentimes Halloween costumes still go terribly wrong. Despite their exalted social status this is even true for celebrities, who face a much larger and harsher spotlight than regular people. Some celebrity Halloween costumes are great while others are a great big yikes. Whether it’s a simple matter of Halloween costume fails or of straight-up racist Halloween costumes, here are a few celebrity Halloween costumes that missed the mark…or worse.
