Sexy or insensitive?
On Wednesday,LeAnn Rimes shared her 2012 Halloween getup to her 300,000-plus Twitter followers. Her choice? Sandy.
The country singer, 30, channeled Olivia Newton-John’s character from Grease — as she appears transformed at the very end of the beloved 1978 musical film, sexed-up in tight spandex, luscious curls and platform wedges. Her husband Eddie Cibrian was Danny, Sandy’s bad-boy love from the T-Birds, whom she strives to impress with a more mature, edgy look.
“Danny and Sandy #Halloween,” Rimes explained beneath a pic in which she leans in for a kiss from Cibrian, 38, with a pompadour wig, black t-shirt and jeans.
It’s a surprising choice of costume, given that another Sandy, Superstorm Sandy, wreaked major havoc in NYC, New Jersey and surrounding areas just days ago, with over 50 people confirmed dead, widespread power outages, a transit shutdown and extensive damage throughout the region.
In another pic, Rimes and Cibrian posed with Mason, 9, and Jake, 5, his sons with ex-wife Brandi Glanville. “Family of the Grease days, Indiana Jones and a tribute to our navy seals,” Rimes said.
The Grammy winner is on the comeback trail after checking herself in a rehab center in August for anxiety.
“I feel like I am starting over even though I’ve had all these years behind me,” Rimes recently told Katie Couric. “How many people get to [start] over again in this day and age?”
Adds Rimes, “People look at you and go, ‘Why are you struggling?’ No one can quite understand why you hurt so badly.”
