5 HOTTEST FASHION ICON HALLOWEEN COSTUMES

Put aside your “sexy witch” get-up this Halloween and channel a fashion icon. Herewith, our picks and tips to throwing together a quickie costume worthy of a freaky fashionista.
Coco Chanel
Style yourself a short curly bob, wear a black and white skirt suit, and pile on loads of pearls.





Karl Lagerfeld
Spray your hair stark white then pull it all back in a low ponytail. Throw on a black suit with a white button-up shirt and skinny tie. Accessorize with fingerless gloves (you can cut your own from a black pair), sunglasses and rings just along the top half of your digits.








Rachel Zoe
Pull on your tightest pair of SPANX (you know how thin she is), give yourself a long, blonde wavy wig, super-sized shades and wear layers (don't forget the fur vests, that is a staple). Stack cuffs on both wrists and call it a day. Taylor & Brad sold separately.







Lady Gaga
Put on a platinum blonde wig and top it with the weirdest headpiece you can find. Don a bodysuit with tights (here’s where you recycle “sexy witch”), big round John Lennon-like sunglasses. If you’re feeling particularly ghoulish, splash some fake blood on yourself to mimic her spooky VMA performance.




Grace Coddington and Anna Wintour
Grab a friend and go as the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde of Vogue. For Grace, frizz-out your hair, white-out your brows, wear loose dark clothing with clunky leather sandals and top-off with a red lip. For Anna, it’s a bobbed wig with bangs, conservative floral shift dress worn under a fur coat and oversized shades.

YSL MASQUERADE BALL: FRENCH KISS


Yves Saint Laurent got an early start on Halloween revelry when it threw a blow out masquerade ball Thursday night to celebrate the launch of its new women's fragrance Parisienne.

The brand made over the Angel Orensanz Foundation with blush pink backlighting, vase upon vase of lush roses and antique-looking chandeliers with flickering votive candles. And if that didn't set the mood, the perfume's ad campaign featuring a very suggestive Kate Moss played on a loop on flat screens throughout the venue.

An eccentric mix of editors, models and Lower East Side night owls crammed the space to such capacity that security on Norfolk Street had to keep aspiring attendees at bay. "I haven't been out for a while," said one publicist as she scanned the dancefloor for a familiar face. "I was wondering if I'd suddenly gotten behind and didn't know who anyone was."


Surely the "mask required" dress code didn't help matters. "I made mine at 4 am," said Leigh Lezark, who along with the Misshapes shared deejay duties with Alexandra Richards. Dancing nearby, Becka Diamond was giving her vision-impairing mask a breather. "No one wants to see a pretty girl on the floor," she joked.

HEIDI KLUM GIVES HALLOWEEN COSTUME ADVICE!


NEW YORK, Oct 28, 2009 / — It’s only three days before Halloween and you’re still agonizing on what to wear. Well, you just came to the right place.
Heidi Klum, model, Victoria’s Secret angel, host of Project Runway and most of all, wife and mother tells her secret on how to be the sexiest cat and vampire.
Known for her adorable and fabulous Halloween parties, Heidi Klum shares makeup tips and costume ideas for the scariest night of the year.
1. Sexy cat. You can make a cat costume yourself with a few things. Get a leotard and some fabric paint at places like Pearl Paint (www.pearlpaint.com) or Michaels (www.michaels.com).
Then you can paint cat patterns right onto the leotard to make it more interesting. Buy a dog collar with a tag and put a fun message on it.
For example, 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!

2. Vampire. I love wearing fangs! Especially when they have blood dripping down them.
If you really want good fangs, think ahead and ask your dentist if he can make you some. That’s what I did and they fit your teeth perfectly! I take good care of them so I can wear them year after year.
Also, play with changing your look. If you are blond, go and get a great black wig. You can find one at Bob Kelly Wigs in NYC (212.819.0030) or Ricky’s (www.rickysnyc.com).
It’s good to invest in one amazing element of your costume. Wigs, especially, make a difference! It also helps you get into character.
