@us.new.trending4: Martha Stewart Breaks Silence After Her “Hungry” Halloween Costume Sparks Backlash Martha Stewart is speaking out after her 2026 Halloween costume drew criticism. Stewart, 85, shared a photo of her annual costume on social media. Page Six screenshotted it before it was deleted. In it, she wore tattered clothes, with what appeared to be dirt, or makeup made to look like dirt, on her face. She held a sign that read, “I AM HUNGRY. HELP ME.” She quickly deleted the photo amid backlash. Critics accused her of mocking people experiencing homelessness. On Sunday, Nov. 1, she gave Page Six a statement. “I am distressed that my Halloween costume yesterday, which was intended to bring more awareness to the very serious subject of homelessness, has offended people,” she said. “That was never my intention.” She also said homelessness is “one of America’s greatest challenges and ongoing crises.” Stewart said she cares deeply about it and has spent significant time and effort supporting charities that fight it. She said she is “committed to continuing to make a difference.” Stewart has not addressed the controversy further. She has spoken before about giving back. At the 2025 amFAR Palm Beach event, she said that in philanthropy and in business, “you have to begin with seeing a need.” Do you think her explanation was enough? #marthastewart #halloween #homelessness #celebrity #backlash
