Heide Klum (2008)
Heidi Klum dressed up as Kali, the Hindu goddess of destruction, for her party in 2008. Klum went all out, making herself totally blue and donning a costume with additional arms, as Kali is sometimes represented in this manner. Klum’s costume, however, did not go unnoticed by the Hindu community, who felt it offended them. According to the Times of India, American Hindu leaders requested an apology from Klum, but one never came. Let this serve as a warning to you, readers: it’s usually better to avoid appropriating other cultures solely for the sake of Halloween.

Colton Haynes (2014)
On Halloween 2014, actor Colton Haynes, who plays on Arrow, stunned everyone by dressing up as Princess Fiona from Shrek as an ogre. The costume was incredible, and we have to praise Haynes for his boldness and sense of humor. Haynes did have a lot of help from prosthetics and makeup experts, who helped him achieve his “dream costume,” as he put it. Haynes outdid himself the following year when he dressed as Ursula from The Little Mermaid. Haynes is a relatively unknown name in Hollywood, but he has already established himself as a serious Halloween player.
