The Project Runway host said: “When Sandy hit and I was like, ‘I cannot do a Halloween Party. I can’t have fun when so many people’s lives have been destroyed.’”
Heidi spent hours getting her make up done to look like Cleopatra she hired Oscar and Emmy-winning makeup artist Bill Corso to transform her face.

The mum-of-four had New York-based costumier Martin Izquierdo help with her glittering Cleopatra outfit. She found the inspiration for her costume from the any movies made about the Egyptian queen Cleopatra.
Heidi said: “So many movies have been about her and so many actresses have played her in the movies - I thought that would be a great costume.”
At her previous Halloween parties the star has dressed as a Hindu goddess, a crow and a robot.
