As parts of America recovered from Hurricane Sandy, LeAnn Rimes chose to dress up as a character with the same name, prompting comments the singer was being insensitive rather than the 'sexy' she might have been hoping for.
Country star LeAnn Rimes tweeted her Grease-inspired Halloween outfit to more than 300,000 followers on Twitter, dolled up as Sandy from the famous film, she’s pictured leaning into husband Eddie for a kiss.
Tweets like ‘LeAnn Rimes wears Sandy costume after Frankenstorm ravages East Coast’ indicate the reaction on social networking site Twitter, with people finding her choice of outfit insensitive considering the damage ‘Superstorm Sandy’ has caused.
Major havoc has been wreaked in the city of New York and New Jersey with 50 fatalities and whole areas damaged and millions out of power there and in surrounding areas.
Thirty-year-old LeAnn may have decided on her Halloween outfit before the devastation, as she went the whole hog with the outfit Olivia Newton-John made famous as ‘Sandy’, with spandex, wedges and perm-style curls.
Her husband Eddie Cibrian also channelled the 1978 musical as Danny and they posed with Eddie’s sons from his previous marriage to Brandi Glanville, nine-year-old Mason and Jake, five.
