Halloween Costume Doomed? Get Some Klum

She is the Queen of Halloween, the Cream of Themes, and the Supreme Costume Fiend. She is the famous and fabulous Heidi Klum. In the spirit of breaking the mold (and on the good advice of my friend Soha), this woman must be paid her dues. Heidi Klum stands as an inspiration to costume creators everywhere.

Klum sums up her festive fundamentals in one phrase: “really go for it!” And go for it she does.

Since the debut of her annual Halloween party in 2000 (and yes, that makes this the tenth anniversary), Klum’s costumes have been nothing short of innovative and elaborate. From head to toe, every element of her costumes maintain her masquerade motif. Her imagery is always vivid and her attention to detail is relentless. Her arrivals are no exception; in 2003, dressed as an alien, Klum actually arrived in her own UFO.



If you’re lacking the necessary inspiration for your own costume, take a look through her scrapbook. My personal favorite was last year’s costume, Hindu goddess Kali, although her Garden of Eden apple was ingenious (you would never even know she was pregnant!)

Wow - not one "Halloween" post, but two. You must love this holiday as much as I do! Have you figured out what you're going to be yet? I often keep my costume a secret until the day of. I'd say Heidi really sets the bar. How many people attend her annual party? And where is it located (aka how can I get on the guest list!) Does she work with a charity of some sort? Toss out some more info on the event - it seems awesome.

Haha, I'm not going to lie.. I love Halloween more than Christmas! Unfortunately I'm still a little undecided on my own costume but I still have a couple days.. The details of Heidi's party are pretty tight - it's become so notorious, all I've been able to nail down is that it's in NYC this year. There is, however, an opportunity to get in on the action - Modelinia has a contest going where you can post a picture of yourself in your best Halloween costume for a chance to win a pair of tickets to the party.
Check it out - there's still time: http://www.facebook.com/Modelinia?v=app_162294291219#/Modelinia?v=app_162294291219

Yea, definitely not her best work - I'm pretty disappointed myself. On a side note, I love the boots (I have an almost identical pair), but no, not loving the costume. Thanks for the link Sam :)
