George Clooney, Matthew Morrison and M. Night Shyamalan hosted some of the most lavish parties over the weekend, and stars showed out donning their best (or worst) costumes.
While there were plenty of standouts from the weekend’s pre-Halloween festivities, a few caught fans’ eyes as being on the offensive side. Keep scrolling to see the costumes labeled as most inappropriate so far this year, then take a look back at some costumes from previous years that we won’t soon forget.
2017’s biggest fails:
This year, we’ve seen more over-the-top costumes than overly offensive ones, but a few celebrities have beenย criticized for their tone-deaf or inappropriate outfits so far this Halloween season.
Tomiย 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 Instagramย photo showing the costume, which was posted with the caption,”Getting ready for Halloween… what do you think?!”

Kim Kardashianย 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.
Chrisย 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.

Heidiย 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 theย America’s Got Talentย 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 likeย Paris Hilton, Chrissyย Teigenย and Ellie Goulding, among others, have also dressed as Native Americans.
Tiaย Mowry
Theย Sister, Sisterย 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.
Prince Harry
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 politicalย group.

Kylieย Jenner
The youngest Kardashian-Jennerย captioned a photo of her costume “Eskimo,” but when fans slammed her for mocking the culture, she changed it to read “snow princess.”
Ashleyย Tisdaleย
Tisdale and her husband were criticised for sexualizingย Dรญaย deย Losย Muertosย with their costumes, but the actress barked back at her haters. “My husband is half Mexican and wasn’t offended,” she said when fans dissedย her sheer-topped outfit.
Scottย Disickย
Kourtneyย Kardashian’sย former flame turned heads with his Arab sheikย costume for a Halloween party. The costume drew so much criticism that Kourtney’sย sister Khloeย had to issue an apology on his behalf.
Ashley Benson
The Pretty Little Liarsย actress asked fans how they liked her Cecilย the lion costume on social media. Cecil was famously killed by a Minnesota dentist.
Benson removed the photo from her social media after it faced major backlash.

Bill Maher
Months afterย Animal Planet‘sย Steveย Irwinย was killed, Billย Maherย thought it would be funny to dress as the late crocodile hunter, complete withย a sting ray which killed him sticking out of his chest.
