Celebrities’ Most Controversial Halloween Costumes: Photos
When it comes to celebrity Halloween costumes, not every idea is a winner — and some outfits result in big reactions from fans.
Julianne Hough received mixed reviews when she dressed up as Uzo Aduba‘S Orange is the new black character, Crazy Eyes, in 2013. Hough donned an orange prison jumpsuit and Crazy Eyes’ iconic knotted hairstyle and painted her face brown, leading some people to accuse the dancer of wearing blackface.
“I’m a big fan of the show Orange is the new black, actress Uzo Aduba, and the character she created,” Hough wrote via social media in October 2013, apologizing for her costume choice. “It was certainly never my intention to be disrespectful or demeaning to anyone in any way. I realize that my costume has hurt and offended people and I sincerely apologize.”
Aduba, for her part, spoke eloquently about the controversial costume in November 2013 E! News that she bore no grudge against Hough. “I think it may have been an unfortunate event, but she apologized and I feel like we can all move on,” the actress said at the time.
