The Most Offensive Celebrity Halloween Costumes So Far
No one takes Halloween more seriously than celebrities.From intricate costumes to insane parties, [...]
2017's biggest fails:
This year, we've seen more over-the-top costumes than overly offensive ones, but a few celebrities have been criticized for their tone-deaf or inappropriate outfits so far this Halloween season.
Tomi Lahren
Conservative political commentator Tomi Lahren tried to show her patriotism for Halloween, but many called out her costume for misusing the American flag. For her costume, she wrote a bodysuit with President Trump's "Make American Great Again" slogan and wrapped the country's flag around her like a cape.
Brian Grazer
Hollywood movie producer Brian Grazer didn't learn the lesson of multiple celebs who've donned Native American costumes before him, only to be slammed for cultural appropriation. Grazer wore his version of traditional garb, but fans weren't as excited about the costume as he was.
Grazer has since deleted his Instagram photo showing the costume, which was posted with the caption,"Getting ready for Halloween... what do you think?!"
Kim Kardashian West
Kim Kardashian West hit up multiple parties in a few different costumes this weekend, but her look as Aaliyah caught some heat from fans. Some alleged that Kardashian was appropriating African-American culture by dressing as a black icon.
Others criticized her for dressing as the late singer, who died in a tragic airplane crash at the age of 22.

Offensive costumes from previous years:
If there was a 'Worst Costumes Hall of Fame,' these celebrity outfits would definitely earn their ranks.
Chris Brown
The R&B singer didn't think his theme through when he and a group of friends dressed as terrorists for a Halloween party. The photo has since been deleted from Brown's social media.
Heidi Klum
Klum is known as one of the grandest costume-wearers when it comes to Halloween, but her lavish portrayal of a Hindu goddess Kali was met with some stark criticism from the religion's followers. Hindu leaders called for an apology from the America's Got Talent judge after she wore this costume.
Hilary Duff
The former child star and then boyfriend wore sexy Native American and pilgrim costumes to a party. When fans slammed them as being inappropriate, Duff issued a heartfelt apology acknowledging her mistake.
In recent years, other celebs like Paris Hilton, Chrissy Teigen and Ellie Goulding, among others, have also dressed as Native Americans.
Tia Mowry
The Sister, Sister actress didn't get too much heat when she dressed as a Geisha one Halloween, but the costume often tops 'most inappropriate' lists around the Halloween holiday.

British royal Prince Harry made headlines when he dressed up as a Nazi soldier for a Halloween party. The public figure was slammed for offending Jewish people whose ancestors were tortured and killed by the political group.
Kylie Jenner
The youngest Kardashian-Jenner captioned a photo of her costume "Eskimo," but when fans slammed her for mocking the culture, she changed it to read "snow princess."
Ashley Tisdale
Tisdale and her husband were criticised for sexualizing Día de Los Muertos with their costumes, but the actress barked back at her haters. "My husband is half Mexican and wasn't offended," she said when fans dissed her sheer-topped outfit.
Scott Disick
Kourtney Kardashian's former flame turned heads with his Arab sheik costume for a Halloween party. The costume drew so much criticism that Kourtney's sister Khloe had to issue an apology on his behalf.
