Heidi Klum's Annual Halloween Party

Heidi Klum is notorious for her love of Halloween and for the costume party she throws every year. Let's check out the celebrity attendees and their over-the-top costumes.

Halloween has come and past, and so too has your sugar rush and the ten dollar rock star wig you will never wear again after getting a Milk Dud stuck in it. But thanks to a special device known as the camera, the spirit of Hallow's Eve lives on through photography, which brings us to the celebrity queen of this fine holiday: Heidi Klum. Famous for being hot and throwing one hell of an annual costume bash.

Gone Ape - The hostess of this haunting blowout is never one to rely on her supermodel good looks for her costume. Heidi Klum and her husband Seal went with a super realistic ape costume, a highly evolved choice.

Victoria's Secret Fantasy Bra

Typically, one model is chosen among the Angels to wear a bejeweled bra dubbed the Fantasy Bra. It was first advertised in the Victoria's Secret catalog, but since 2001 has been worn in the Fashion Shows. Prior to each Fashion Show, Victoria's Secret contracts a renowned jewelry designer to craft the bra to be used as a focal point for promoting the fashion show and as a centerpiece within it. The company offers the Fantasy Bra for sale as the ultimate holiday gift, although none have sold since 1996, its first offering.

Heidi Klum has worn the Fantasy Bra in three different years. Gisele Bündchen, Tyra Banks, Karolina Kurkova, and Adriana Lima have each worn two Fantasy Bras.

Heidi Klum's Halloween Hangover

Halloween in Hollywood means one thing: Heidi Klum's annual Halloween bash. And while the D-list dared to dress-up in droves this year, I'm still looking for a crazy jewelry juggernaut costume like Paris Hilton's diamond display from last year.

Alas.

Here are some of the photo highlights - including my favorite art-imitating-life-imitating-art entry: the Napster co-Founder, Sean Parker, dressing up like Justin Timberlake. Clever.

Yes. That's Heidi Klum in a Transformer-inspired get up on stilts.

 

Spotlight on Spooky Jewelry

So you weren't invited to Heidi Klum's famous Halloween party. Again. That doesn't mean you have to throw out the bling with the bathwater! 

I'm still working on my Kanye West/diamond teeth costume (Heidi? Your loss, sister.), but I hunted down these fun finds to throw in the spooky style rotation in the meantime:

Gemstones Meet 'The Great Pumpkin':

Add a splash of orange spice to go with your little black dress - like this Great Pumpkin-esque cocktail ring that could work with many a fall ensemble. 

Get Back in Black:

Get in touch with your dark side with some sleek onyx jewelry in any incarnation. And one of those Darth Vader voice boxes.

Kitty Cat Couture:

I've had my eye on this cat pendant for a while now. Love the price. Love the chocolate diamonds. Love that it will satisfy my maternal instincts without making too many demands on my personal time.


Skeletal Chic:

You know you have some skull jewelry lying around from your Morrissey-loving goth girl past.  Taylor Momsen didn't invent this wheel!


P.S. Click here for a fun find you can grab if you had Heidi's accessory budget. And the stomach to wear possum bones.

One more week 'til Halloween! Got some costume ideas you'd like to share?  Weigh in!

Victoria's Secret Is A Diamond Bombshell

Ah, Victoria. That pesky lingerie mass marketer whose 'secret' is to lure us into buying overpriced skivvies by parading around those insipid angels is at it again.

This time, they're putting the impossibly beautiful Adriana Lima in their Bombshell Fantasy Bra - a cross-your-heart creation made out of 2,000 diamonds in a star-burst design. With a price tag of $3 million, it isn't the most expensive Fantasy Bra in their coffers (Gisele Bundchen wore a $12.5 million cup holder a few years back), but it will certainly make heads turn and wallets burn.

Ms. Lima's 'ice chest' will make its sparkling debut at the Victoria's Secret 2011 Fashion Show, which airs November 30th on CBS.

One angel who will be noticeably absent this year is Heidi Klum, who 'retired her wings' with the company earlier this month.

One day you're 'in'? And the next? You're free to eat again.

Oscar Jewelry Styles for Less

Let's face it. We're all still drooling over Angelina Jolie's jaw-dropping emerald earrings. Am I right?

We're all wondering how much they cost - and most importantly - how on earth can we afford a pair of our own?

While I am still researching the Lorraine Schwartz price for those jewelry hounds who are gluttons for punishment - I have great news for folks who want to get the same Angelina emeralds for a fraction of the price!

The new Jewelry.com has a brand new feature called, Celebrity Style, where they focus on important celebrity looks you can get for a lot, lot less. Angelina's emeralds, Kate's diamonds, Heidi's earrings and more are featured in the freshly posted Oscar feature.
