Late last month, Olympic freeskier Gus Kenworthy made headlines when he came out as gay in an interview with ESPN Magazine. Since the interview, he's become more and more visible in mainstream media.

This was made evident over the past week, when Gus continued to make headlines for his sexy Halloween costumes. One was (admittedly) pretty damn hot, one was meh, and one was just downright wrong. Here's our ranking (and grading) of all the looks Gus served this Halloween season:

The Cop

\u201cMy costume for last night's party... Since I haven't already been getting ENOUGH attention this past week! Lol.\u201d
— Gus Kenworthy (@Gus Kenworthy) 1446303904

Grade: A+++

Although there were probably a million hot guys dressed as cops this Halloween, Gus pulls it off nicely in a way only a seasoned Olympic athlete can. *drools* The best part of this costume is that you can't really tell if he's the good cop, ready to protect you from harm, or the bad cop, ready to cuff you and take you away. Either one works for us, and of course, it doesn't hurt that he's shirtless.

The Mouse

Grade: C

Still hot and cute (abs tho!), but so unoriginal. Gus should have just left this costume where it belongs: in Mean Girls.

The Native American

Grade: F---

No amount of hot abs and muscles could ever make up for the fact that Gus' appropriated costume of sacred Native American iconography 1) is extremely culturally insensitive and 2) stereotypes a whole group of marginalized and historically oppressed people.
