Halloween Celebrity Costumes
Halloween is a popular event celebrated on the 31st of October, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day, in many nations. It kicks off Allhallowtide, the liturgical season dedicated to honouring the deceased, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all those who have passed away. Halloween Celebrity costumes can be quite inventive and appealing, but they can also be very divisive. Halloween costumes are costumes worn on or around October 31, the day of the Halloween festival. Halloween costumes were first mentioned in Scotland in 1585, but they may have existed before that. Many references to the ritual may be found in the Celtic countries of Scotland, Ireland, Mann, and Wales from the 18th and 19th centuries.
Most Controversial Celebrity Halloween Costumes Over the Years
The most offensive celebrity costumes are those that cause anger due to their cultural insensitivity. Surprisingly, this isn't just for Halloween. In May 2014, Macklemore dressed up as a Nazi caricature of Jews, refused to apologise, and eventually withdrew his non-apologetic message. However, because many individuals dress up for Halloween, this type of activity usually occurs near the end of October.

Most Controversial Celebrity Halloween Costumes Over the Years Pics
Here is the list of people who had made their costumes most controversial during Halloween.
1) Julianne Hough's use of blackface for her "Crazy Eyes" costume was widely mocked.
The "Dancing with the Stars" winner dressed up as Crazy Eyes from "Orange Is the New Black" for her 2013 costume. In the United States, there is a long tradition of white actors donning blackface to imitate black stereotypes. Discrimination against African-Americans has a long history in the film, television, and theatrical industries in the United States. Hough's ensemble, when taken as a whole, was abhorrent. As an apology, she had mentioned that it was never her intention to disrespect any religion or anybody.

2) Snowboarder Shaun White dressed up as a caricature of people with disabilities.
Shaun White dressed like "Simple Jack," a character played by Ben Stiller in the film "Tropic Thunder," in October 2108. Although disability advocates found the representation shallow, the character is utilised in the film to make light of the movie industry's penchant to transform the lives of people with disabilities into "Oscar bait."

3)Chris Brown dressed up as a "terrorist" in 2012.
Brown shared a photo of himself and companions wearing turbans and false beards on Instagram, which has since been removed.
4) Heidi Klum angered a lot of Hindu leaders when she dressed up as the goddess Kali.
Klum is well-known for her elaborate Halloween costumes, but this isn't always a good thing. In 2008, she dressed up as the Hindu goddess Ka li Leaders of Hinduism and Indian-Americans were furious. "In Hinduism, Goddess Kali is highly loved, and she is meant to be venerated in temples, not utilised in clubs for publicity stunts or flung around loosely for dramatic effect," Hindu preacher Rajan Zed stated.

5)Hillary Duff dressed up as a pilgrim and a Native American stereotype with her then-boyfriend, athlete Jason Walsh.
The costumes were worn by Duff and Walsh in 2016, while Native Americans were opposing the Dakota Access Pipeline, which was intended to pass through sacred Native American land. "I sincerely apologise to anyone who was upset by my outfit. It was not well-considered, and I apologise profusely from the bottom of my [heart] "Duff sent out a tweet. Duff and Walsh aren't the only ones that dressed up for Halloween in that style. In separate years, Paris and Nicky Hilton have also gotten in fire for dressing up as clichéd Native Americans.

The Chainsmokers, an EDM duo comprised of Andrew Taggart and Alex Pall, performed at Binghamton University in 2014 and afterwards at an off-campus fraternity. The theme was "Ebrola," a bro-ish spin on the West African ebola virus, which had claimed the lives of over 5,000 individuals by that point in the year. They dressed up as health workers, complete with hazmat costumes and moustaches, and were roundly chastised in the local press.
