00:00I love seeing which famous people get hammered for their costumes the day after.
00:04Martha Stewart, for whatever reason, dressed like a homeless person.
00:08I am hungry, help me. That's how bad Trump's economy is. Even Martha Stewart is homeless.
00:15Is Martha Stewart canceled? That was Jimmy Kimmel taking a swipe at the 85-year-old
00:20queen of homemaking and, of course, his favorite punching bag in the White House, too.
00:24Kimmel, no stranger to scandals of his own, was shocked by her epic fail.
00:28How does this woman wind up in that costume being photographed and posted?
00:33This is how you know your assistant hates you.
00:35Yep, someone probably got fired. That was on Monday.
00:39And here's how we here at Page Six broke it all down.
00:41Halloween may be over, but the backlash for some celebrities is still fresh.
00:46That's because of some wild costume choices, starting with Martha Stewart,
00:50who dressed up as a homeless person. That did not go over well, especially the
00:55I Am Hungry Help Me sign. Even worse, the controversial costume
00:59appeared to have been included in an Instagram carousel promoting her QVC candle line. Yikes.
01:05Stewart deleted the post after many slammed it as offensive, gross, and out of touch.
01:10Now she's walking back the costume, pivoting by telling fans she was trying to, quote,
01:15create awareness about homelessness, telling Page Six in a statement,
01:19I am distressed that my Halloween costume yesterday, which was intended to bring more
01:23awareness to the very serious subject of homelessness, has offended people, which was never my intention.
01:29Homelessness continues to remain one of America's greatest challenges and ongoing crises,
01:34something that I care deeply about, and I've spent a significant amount of time and effort
01:38supporting charities that combat this ongoing social epidemic.
01:41But then after that statement was rejected by many online,
01:45Stewart went and posted another apology, writing,
01:48It's hard to admit when you've really screwed up.
01:50My earlier statement didn't go far enough. I know many people are suffering economically.
01:55Wearing a costume like I did was insensitive and not funny. I'm very sorry.
02:00Martha, Martha, Martha. But Martha Stewart wasn't alone. Jessica Alba also had to delete her
02:06bloody-knee Nancy Kerrigan costume, with her friend Kelly Sawyer as Tonya Harding,
02:11holding a baseball bat, factually incorrect for what it's worth.
02:15Many of Alba's followers criticized her choice, calling it immature and distasteful.
02:20One even said, First Martha, now Jessica? But there's even more.
02:25The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' Orange County spinoff star,
02:28McCall DePron, and her family dressed up as Kennedys and Secret Service on the day of JFK's assassination.
02:35She captioned the post, Happy Halloween, love the Kennedys. That is also now deleted. But she's
02:41not the first to do it. Last year, Julia Fox caused a major firestorm after dressing up as a bloody
02:47version of that outfit for her Halloween costume. But unlike all of this year's deleted costumes,
02:53Julia's version still remains up on her page. So who do you think had the most tone-deaf celebrity
02:58costume of 2026? Sound off in the comments on what you think was the worst. And of course,
