The 20 Worst "Sexy" Halloween Costumes for Women
Sexy goldfish, sexy corn on the cob and of course, sexy Ken Bone.
Ah, Halloween: the one time of year when women must make the difficult decision between dressing as sexy nurses or sexy corn on the cobs. In the spirit of yesterday's news of a sexy Ken Bone costume paying tribute to everyone's favorite man at the second presidential debate, we're rounding up all the most ridiculous (and offensive) Halloween costume options for women not to choose from this year. Good news, ladies: it turns out that anything—and I mean, anything—can be sexy if you just set your mind to it (and add fishnets).
Sexy Ken Bone
Don't worry: Ken Bone (the breakout star of this year's presidential election) was quickly turned into a sexy costume just days after the second presidential debate. And for just $100, you can get a whole half of his iconic red sweater.
Sexy Skunk
Pro Tip: when picking out which wild animal you want to be, just pick the smelliest one, then add fishnets.
Sexy Lumberjack
Everyone knows the most subtle way to get a man's attention is wearing a hat that says "I Love Wood."
Sexy Corn on The Cob
For just $62, you too could be a sexy corn stalk (the sexiest of starches, of course).
Sexy Mr. Peanut
In case you had any doubt that Mr. Peanut, the most terrifying mascot of all time, could be sexy, here's a little something to prove you wrong.
Sexy Goldfish
Did you know it would cost you $112 to become the sexy version of that $3 goldfish you won at the carnival?
Sexy Minion
Fun fact: instead of Despicable Me, this costume is called "Desirable Me" because of course it is.
Sexy Raccoon
Nobody even likes raccoons, but sure, add some fishnets and over-the-knee socks and hope for the best.
Sexy Gumby
In case you didn't get the sexual reference here, this Gumby costume is subtly called "Bendy Babe."
Sexy Fortune Cookie
Cultural appropriation? Check. Wearing the words "Enjoy Me" over your body? Check. All the makings of a great sexy costume.
Sexy "Daddy" Cheerleader
Not sure about you, but I feel like my dad wouldn't appreciate this.
Sexy Pizza Rat
And who could forget last year's beloved viral pizza rat, who quickly turned into last year's sexiest costume, naturally.
Choose wisely this year, ladies!
