Fans of Pretty Little Liar know Ashley Benson for her sense of style, but her Halloween costume is the biggest fashion faux-pas you’re likely to see this October.
While we know there are some seriously insensitive or plain stupid costumes out there, (we’re talking about that Caitlyn Jenner and ‘sexy’ Donald Trump’ outfit), the latest costume suggestion from Ashley Benson has sparked outrage.
The Pretty Little Liars star posted an Instagram of herself wearing a Cecil the Lion costume, with an original caption reading:
“Help! Can’t decide on my Halloween costume this year! What do you guys think of this cecil the lion costume?”
The 25-year old later edited the caption to refer to the jumpsuit as a ‘lion costume’.
Fans weren’t long pointing out the tackiness of the costume, with the retailer Yandy backtracking and attempting to spin the outfit as a charity initiative:
“20% of the proceeds of our limited-edition, Cecil the Lion costume will be given to a Global Conservation Organization to support global conservation initiatives.”
