Heidi Klum comes as Pharaoh to Haunted Holiday party

Supermodel Heidi Klum stepped out for her Haunted Holiday party at Finale club in New York City as the Egyptian Pharaoh in a golden gown complete with a gold headdress and hundreds of shimmering Swarovski crystals glued to her face. The charity bash was held to raise money for The American Red Cross Hurricane Sandy relief effort.

Heidi is famous for throwing amazing Halloween party each year and wearing equally incredible costumes but this year's celebration was postponed due Hurricane Sandy that hit New York on October 29.

She said: "Sandy hit and I was like, 'I can't do a Halloween party. We can't have fun when so many people's lives have been destroyed.' "

Heidi's Haunted Holiday party was sponsored by Svedka Vodka and Smartwater and guests included Katie Couric, who wore a box of eggs on her head, and Mickey Rourke who sneaked into the nightclub dressed as himself.

Heidi - who at previous parties has dressed as an ape and a robot - loved her Cleopatra costume but admitted it took hours to adorn her face with the crystals because each one was individually glued on.

She said: "Putting the outfit on takes five minutes, but doing all these hundreds of stones on my face took a little longer. The face took a long time because they're all individually put on."
