DWTS Craziest Costumes Ever!
20 seasons. 10 years. Millions of sequins.
Throughout its run, Dancing With the Stars has gifted us with many amazing performances...and even more amazing costumes. Come on, what other show has put Bristol Palin in a gorilla suit and brought countless Disney characters to life?! But sometimes, the results are totally bats--t...in the best possible way!
We're looking back on 23 of the ABC reality hit's craziest costumes over the years...
Bristol Palin and Mark Ballas
Arguably the most infamous costume in DWTS' 10-year history? Bristol's gorilla suit, which she wore when she danced the jive to the theme song from the '60s TV show The Monkees. Too literal, girl. Too. Literal.
Willow Shields and Mark Ballas
While Willow looked downright perfect as Alice, Mark's mask was the stuff nightmares are made of for their Alice in Wonderland-themed performance during "Disney Night." Here's hoping your kids fell asleep before this one!
Gilles Marini and Peta Murgatroyd
"What's wrong with me?" Gilles joked to E! News after rocking this barely-there look, which was so hot judge Carrie Ann Inaba fell out of her chair. So nothing is wrong with you, Gilles. NOTHING.
Mark Ballas and Sadie Robertson
Mark decided to make Sadie feel at home by rocking a beard that would make the Duck Dynasty clan proud.
Sadie Roberston and Mark Ballas
Confession: the duo's Super Mario-inspired costumes are one of our favorite looks of all-time, and so was the inventive routine that went along with it. But Mark sure does loving with the facial hair, no?
Mark Ballas and Willow Shields
The costume department must have had a blast turning the duo into living artwork when they got to throw paint on Mark and The Hunger Games star for their colorful look.
Bill Nye and Tyne Stecklein
The Science Guy? More like The Robot Guy after his futuristic jazz routine, featuring a light-up suit that totally looks like it was taken from the set of Tron.
Bill Nye and Tyne Stecklein
Hey, if you are going to dance to Beethoven's "Symphony No. 5," you might as well go all out and dress the part.
Valentin Chmerkovskiy and Rumer Willis
The couple looked like they were having so much fun during their wicked Little Mermaid routine that we were almost green with envy. (See what we did there?)
Peta Murgatroyd and Sean Lowe
[Insert obvious Village People joke here.]
Tony Dovolani and Suzanne Somers
No joke, we have to squint while looking at this photo, that's how bright their costumes are!
Tony Dovolani and Suzanne Somers
Just looking at Suzanne's bold headwear is making us hungry.
Riker Lynch
The R5 band member had a little too much swashbuckling fun as Captain Jack Sparrow during "Disney Night," refusing to drop the weird accent even after the routine ended.
Michael Waltrip and Emma Slater
Raise your hand if you never thought you'd see the day where DWTS was emblazoned on a NASCAR racing suit!
Kendra Wilkinson and Louis Van Amstel
There's loving the good ol' USA and then there's LOVING THE GOOD OL' USA, OK?
Evan Lysacek and Anna Trebunskaya
The couple's get-ups for their futuristic cha-cha had us saying "what-what?!"
Chad Ochocinco and Cheryl Burke
Velour + animal print = Party City pimp costume. For realz.
Carson Kressley and Anna Trebunskaya
Does "C" stand for Carson, colorful or crazy?!
Wynonna Judd and Tony Dovolani
Even weirder than Tony's rocker wig? The fact that these outfits were for the "Prom Night" theme.
Corbin Bleu and Karina Smirnoff
The High School Musical star totally looked like the younger bro of Khal Drogo during the couple's Viennese Waltz set to the Game of Thrones theme song.
Apolo Ohno and Julianne Hough
Whoa, was Julianne secretly prepping for her role in the film adaptation of Rock of Ages?!
Donny Osmond
While tame by today's DWTS standards, the eventual winner's Adam Ant-inspired look raised a lot of eyebrows in the ballroom back in season nine.
Candace Cameron Bure and Mark Ballas
It's a whole new side of the Full House alum! The demure Candace shook things up for "Disney Night" and we loved it.
