Charity Celebrity Costume Balls

A-Listers Dress Up for AIDS

In honor of the 15th Annual ‘Dream Halloween’ benefit thrown by the Children Affected by AIDS Foundation, a number of celebrities dressed up for Halloween a few days early. The famous faces included Jamie Lee Curtis, Jada Pinkett Smith, Jason Priestley, Angela Bassett, and Melina kanakaredes.

The costumes the celebrities wore were not terribly complicated, and I think the best one of them all was Jamie Lee Curtis’ patriotic Uncle Sam ensemble. Furthermore, Jada Pinkett-Smith, whose makeup was impeccable, rocked a red-and-blue Supergirl outfit, while Jason Priestley was decked out in a Royal Canadian Mounted Police getup.

Melina Kanakaredes who starred for 5 seasons in the critically-acclaimed series ‘Providence’ was dressed as a very stylish witch in a black dress and hat.
