Jerry Seinfeld candidly acknowledged that “when I jumped off a roof in Cannes in a bee costume, I looked ridiculous. But this is my business; I have to humiliate myself.” Our favourite hallowed day for humiliation is fast approaching, and after looking at incredibly bizarre vintage Halloween costumes, amazing pop-culture inspired Halloween make-up, and our own handy guides to DIY get-ups, we thought we would explore the final frontier by taking a look at buildings dressed up in all manner of ridiculous attire. From a corporate headquarters’ larger-than-life shark costume to a grand installation that’s surely the best big ghost costume we’ve ever seen, click through to check out clever ways to outfit a building.
