People who celebrate Halloween do so in a variety of ways. They may knock on their neighbors’ doors and ask for candy. They may go to parties full of dancing or haunted houses full of scares. They may watch horror flick after horror flick. And they will probably dress up in a costume.

Since celebrities are just like us apparently, they too, dress up during the Halloween season, and paparazzi photos and social media uploads have showed stars looking like everything from food items and historic heroes to puns and fictional characters their peers may play in films and on TV. Sometimes, though, these famous people, with their success and access and influence, fail when it comes to this haunted holiday! Just look at the 15 examples down below, which show off times when the costumes they wore out in the world were memorable, for sure… but for all the wrong reasons.

16 Britney Spears As Snow White

15

Once upon a time, Britney Spears dressed up as Snow White. This pop princess and this Disney princess are two of the most famous ones out there… so why was this outfit so drab and sort of a letdown? At least she added in some dwarves, who are vital to this costume, even if they are just wearing beanies and T-shirts.

14 Chris Brown's Tasteless Costume

What is worse than a boring costume? An inappropriate one. Rapper Chris Brown, for some reason, thought it would be a good idea to wear this long tunic, this vest and these accessories, in order to dress up as this chosen costume, which is not cool on so many different levels.

13 Elle Fanning As Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe is a legendary icon, and many people have honored her by copying her most known looks. One time, Elle Fanning did this, but she did it when she was quite young. Based on Monroe’s roles and the fact that this dress is the one that blew upwards during that iconic moment… We wonder if this was an age-appropriate outfit?

12 Katy Perry As A Cheeto

Singer Katy Perry is known for her over-the-top style and songs, so her fans look forward to her crazy costumes. Here she is dressed as a Cheeto. Yes, she is just a chip. She is a long and red-orange chip, with the same color on her from head to toe, and that is all.

11 Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson In Boring Wigs & Masks

Not everyone is into Halloween, but celebrities act like different people for a living. Therefore, audiences expect them to give big performances when it comes to dressing up for a holiday! That is not what happened here, when Twilight stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson just wore boring wigs and masks.

10 Kyle MacLachlan As Kale

Food is a popular option, when it comes to Halloween costumes, but we are not sure how we feel about this one: Kyle MacLachlan is dressed as kale. This actor is known for roles on shows such as Portlandia and Twin Peaks, and this vegetable is pretty popular, as well. Combined, though, it feels like a miss and a fail.

9 Julianne Hough As Crazy Eyes

Crazy Eyes is a character from Orange Is The New Black, and that is who Julianne Hough decided to be one year. But… Is her face darker than normal? That is not good. We get dressing up as a popular TV character, but do it well and appropriately, please!

8 Luann de Lesseps As Diana Ross

On a similar note, Luann de Lesseps, from The Real Housewives Of New York, showed up to a party once as singer Diana Ross. The color of her face, the height of this wig… This is another one that has gone down in history for all the wrong reasons.

7 Matt Lauer As Pam Anderson

Matt Lauer showed up to work one day, on the news, in front of everyone, like this. Sure, Pam Anderson is an icon, Baywatch was a hit, and dressing up is fun. But did anyone need to see him like this? And will this image ever be erased from our brains? Probably not.

6 Nina Dobrev As A Star Is Born

A pun can make for a great costume, too, but this one did not succeed: Actress Nina Dobrev wanted to keep the popularity of the film A Star Is Born going by dressing up as a baby and taking it all literally. There is just way too much going on here, though!

5 Paris Hilton As A Furby

Over the years, Paris Hilton has worn an array of tiny costumes, in order to celebrate Halloween… but a furry toy? This is just kind of weird. A Furby is a cute and cuddly thing, but seeing it like this and in that way has earned this socialite a spot on this list!

4 Sacha Baron Cohen & Isla Fisher Looking Chaotic

This husband and wife duo, Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher, are both in movies with crazy moments, and they seem to have really neat personalities. So it seems they were trying to be kooky and funny with these costumes. We just don’t get it, though, and feel like they could have done so much more.

3 Snooki As A Pickle

Another food fail happened when Snooki dressed up as a pickle. She had a dress with sequin-like pickle slices on it. She had a green cape. She had green heels. And she even carried around this giant one. We get an addiction to this sour and satisfying taste, but Snooki… No.

2 Taylor Swift As Some Unicorn Thing

Taylor Swift is another singer who brings it in so many ways, so this was a pretty big disappointment. There is a fluffy onesie with a tale. There are wings. There is a horn. Is she a unicorn? Is she a pegasus? Is she just working with what she had? Could she not have given the world more?

1 Tyra Banks As Richard Branson

Tyra Banks is a model, so she obviously has a very appealing and attractive face. But not here, in this costume! While seeing a celebrity dress up as another famous person is always entertaining, seeing her with a blonde bob-style haircut and all of that facial hair was a bit frightening.
