Stewart, who had an approximate net worth of $400 million in January 2026, quickly deleted the image amid the backlash, and issued an apology to those who may have been put-off by her costume choice.
"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, which was never my intention," she told Page Six. (RELATED: Director Michael Mann Accidentally Shoots Himself In the Leg At Gun Range)
Stewart went on to say, "Homelessness continues to remain one of America's greatest challenges and ongoing crises, something that I care deeply about and I have spent a significant amount of time and effort supporting charities that combat this ongoing social epidemic."
