Celebrity Costumes

What The Stars Wear for Halloween

Heidi Klum hosted her annual Halloween party earlier this month, so we thought we'd take the opportunity to show you some of the top costume ideas seen on the rich and famous.

"For the 7th Annual Heidi Klum Halloween bash, held at Privilege in L.A., Seal dressed as Eve (of Adam and Eve), while Klum was the serpent and the apple from the Garden of Eden," InStyle said.

Klum's VIP guest list included a long list of A list celebrities, models, actors, and the rest of international 'it' crowd. The German supermodel hosts the party every year, asking all guests to dress up. Klum gets very creative each year, always in very elaborate costumes. Her fascination with Halloween comes from not having grown up with the festivities; the spooky night isn't recognized in Germany, so she says the parties help her make up for the years she missed out as a child.

Check out the photos from Klum's party and other celebrity Halloween sightings for inspiration:
