This year marks the 10th anniversary of the supa'model's super Halloween bash, when she will once again take over this ghoulish holiday dressed as god-knows-what. From Kali to a kitty, her costumes are always as elaborate as her party. Still wondering yourself what to go as this year? Then kluminate on these suggestions:
1. SEXY CAT With a leotard, kitty ears, fake tail and face paint, you're purrr-fect. Klum suggests making things more interesting by painting both your face and your leotard, and don't forget the dog collar with a fun message attached. "When I was a cat in 2007, I put "If lost, please return to Seal." You can also buy cat ears and a fake tail that can be attached with a few stitches or a safety pin. Add in some sexy high heels or boots. Really go for it and paint your face like a sexy city cat. Don't forget the whiskers!" (sexy Catwoman costume - Amazon.com)
2. VAMPIRE Naturally, this one is all about the teeth, so if you plan to channel your inner vampire repeatedly over the years, Klum suggests doing what she did: have your dentist make you a pair that fits to vampiric perfection. "I love wearing fangs! Especially when they have blood dripping down them." She also advises changing up your look with a wig. Blond? Then go black (or vice versa). "It's good to invest in one amazing element of your costume. Wigs, especially, make a difference! It also helps you get into character." ("Immortal Mistress" costume - CostumesInc.com)
3. BUMBLE BEE Think black tights, hot pants, a yellow and black tee, and towering heels. "I think someone who wears a bumble bee costume has a good sense of humor, " notes Klum. "Buy little yellow round bumble bee wings and get antennas with yellow
balls that bounce around when you move. Get super long black fake lashes and start your makeup early enough so you have time to put them on! It's not easy even for me! When you put the glue on the strip of lashes, let the glue dry a bit. When you do that and place them on your lash line, they don't slide around as much and will place easier. Maybe add some sparkles around your eyes. I'm always about great makeup and sparkles -- they make the look fun and special." PinupGirlClothing.com)
4. BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN "Make sure you don't look like a real bride because that's boring! Plus, it will scare of some guys! You can singe the veil a little bit and rip the dress so you really look like you come from the dead. Make it look old and dirty with some black, brown and grey paint. Stay pretty but a bit scary and white in the face. Put on lots of lashes and mascara! When you're adding the mascara and it's still wet, blink your eyes really hard so you smudge it all around your eyes. It's really effective! It's also cool to add some grey or white contact lenses that you can get at Ricky's or a costume shop. You can find amazing dresses and veils at thrift shops. The amazing thing about creating your own costume is that you can be sure no one else has the same!" (LollipopLingerie.com)
5. SPRAY PAINT "My friend David Kirsch does this every year.
He's been a leopard, Captain America and Spiderman. Peter Brown, who is based in New York City, hand-paints every inch of his body (call 1.917.723.8070)! It's a tough one to pull off and could be a little chilly in October, but when done right, it's spectacular. And let's hope it doesn't rain!" (photo via fffFound.com)
