Heidi Klum channels a corpse for Halloween

Striking: Heidi Klum's corpse Halloween costume

Some of Los Angeles’s most famous celebrities became someone else over the weekend as America was gripped by Halloween fever.

Among the most talked-about costumes were supermodel Heidi Klum’s corpse outfit, Cameron Diaz’s stripper costume and Gwen Stefani’s Cinderella dress.

Stefani was a guest at Kate Hudson’s Halloween bash, at which other guests included Jessica Alba and Casey Affleck.

Alba dressed as a witch while David Arquette, also at the party, went as Elvis.

Klum’s corpse outfit showed off every muscle on her body, as if her skin had been ripped off, and was made up of a painted bodysuit. Her face make-up took three-and-a-half hours.

Klum was the host of a party in Las Vegas. She said: “This is my 13th Halloween party.

"This year I wanted to be a dead person."

Celebrities were also not immune to imitating their colleagues and Jennifer Love Hewitt and her boyfriend dressed as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, while Nicole Richie dressed as Jennifer Lopez.
