Celebrity Halloween Costumes That Need an Explanation
Halloween is one of the few times of the year when people seem to be really happy, and that's because you get to dress as ridiculous as it gets, whether you choose a character you love, a weird pun, or simply as a funny thing everyone will ask you about at the party. There are almost no limits to what you can do on Halloween, but a lot of people seem to miss the “almost” in the sentence. And celebrities get too much visibility to skip that part.
Some celebrities spend the entire year plotting their elaborate costumes, especially if they're teaming up with someone else. But in that process, they might lose sight of the goal as they dive deeper and deeper into what they think it's a great pun.
So, here are celebrity Halloween costumes that need an explanation, whether they're strange, ridiculous, cheap, or straight up one of the most offensive things they could do.

Julianne Hough
This was in 2015, mind you.
Hugh Grant
Doesn't look like he was trying.

Native American and sexy pilgrim is a choice.
Heidi Klum as a Hindu Goddess
She puts a lot of work into her costumes each year, but this was not it.
Heidi Klum as Worm
WORM

As ‘Hurricane Sandy,’ a funny pun referring to Grease's character. But this was a week after the actual Hurricane Sandy hit the East Coast in 2012.

What are we doing here, buddy?

Probably not her worst.
