Celebrity Halloween Costumes 2017 Graded — Win, Fail or Just Plain ‘Meh’ (Photos)
Celebrities converged on the old Tower Records on Sunset Blvd. Friday night (Oct. 27) for Casamigos’ famed Halloween Bash. Now, let’s give out the costume awards.2WINNER: Kim Kardashian and Jonathan Cheban as Sonny and Cher.
The bash was ’70s themed, so they were on trend with the decade’s power couple. Bonus points to Cheban, usually a man of unclear purpose, who outshines his celeb pal.
WINNER: Amal Clooney. Other than the Golden Globes or one of George’s movie premieres, the human rights lawyer never makes Hollywood red carpet event appearances.
While George was not here, Mrs. Clooney arrived with his Casamigos business partner Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford. WIN-FAIL-FAIL: Two big names (Courtney Love and David Spade) were too cool for a costume.
The only winner is Love’s mystery man date in the Peter Dinklage mask. WIN: Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber.
This will become a reference photo for other couples looking to dress “’70s” in the future.
WIN: Casamigos main man and party host Mike Meldman poses with Adam Levine. The Voice judge went deep in to disguise by playing the drums instead of singing when Maroon 5 played a surprise set as an AC/DC cover band.
They opened with “Back in Black” and then rocked “Highway to Hell” and “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap” as part of a midnight five-song set.For those who don’t even know what “uno…dos..tres” means, Casamigos literally means “House of Friends.”
It lived up to its billing as playing out like what Hollywood parties look like in the movies.Bartenders slung cocktails in the roller-rink themed space….Shag rugs and oak barrels (where tequila normally ages) dotted the space, but these were Disco-Barrels.
The dance floor would not stay empty for long.FAIL: Jon Hamm.
To his credit, he’s given up drinking so I can’t chide him for not being a party monster, but this looks pulled from his closet. Poor effort.
Derek Hough (Grade: C) and Joanna Krupa (Grade:A): Dancer Hough is a professional costume-wearer, so we expect more than a zip-in costume for an insurance sign-twirler on the corner. Krupa nailed the decade and the look with “Grease”.Jamie Mazur and Alessandra Ambrosio: A-
They matched their colors and hit the theme hard. She could make anything look good and proves that she likely would have been a star at an actual 1970’s part on the Sunset Strip, had she been born 40 years earlier.Kaia Gerber and Presley Gerber: A-
Sometimes less is more. The genetically blessed offspring of Cindy and Rande always lean in to this costume party. Bonus points to Presley for the shades and to both for the 100-mile stare of hazed out ’70s youth. If these guys can dress up, what’s your excused David Spade?David Spade: Fail. Another night at the club.
Charlotte McKinney: Sign her up for “American Hustle 2”.”Left Shark” would have been a winner in 2015. Now, it passed its expiration date. Grade: CKelly Sawyer and Erin Foster: B+
Group costumes are like bridesmaids dresses: at least half the people are going to be pissed. Bonus points for corralling any group in to a costume.Harry Hamlin and model-daughter Delilah Hamlin: A
Keep your eye on Delilah. She has over 500,000 instagram followers and with her sister, the duo are becoming tabloid page socialites.Russell Simmons: No grade.
The first time I saw Russell dressed as his brother Rev Run’s seminal rap group Run DMC it was an A. But there is a half life. He repeats this every year. DJ Cassidy: A
This is not a costume. This is his normal wardrobe. He gets the “A” for filling the dance floor at every event he spins – whether its JB Smoove’s birthday party or this celeb-packed Halloween bash. He successfully bridged the gap between ’70s music and contemporary hits by remixing “Another One Bites the Dust” and “Play That Funky Music White Boy”.A look at the elaborate production design, also a “winner” of the night. Darren Aronofsky and Richard Kind: C
I don’t know what these guys are. It’s good to see two film guys catching up. In the background, the Baby’s Badass Burger Truck that kept guests fed all night.Emina Cunmulaj (A-) and Sam Nazarian (D)
They lose to Kim and Jonathan Cheban. There is an interesting through line at the Casamigos bash. Nazarian’s SBE bought Morgan’s Hotel Group, which includes Gerber’s famed Skybar.The mixology options: WinnerMolly Sims and Scott Stuber: Weak
Molly is a unicorn. Scott looks like he pulled this costume out of a bag at the halloween store. At this world class level of entertainers and artists, I expect more.Monica Gambee and host Mike Meldman: Congrats you two. You win Halloween 2017.
