Heidi Klum: I loved my Hindu god Halloween costume

Heidi Klum has revealed her OTT Halloween costume was her assistant’s idea.

The supermodel attended her 9th Annual Halloween party at New York’s 1 Oak on Friday dressed - and painted up - as Hindu goddess Kali.

She explained: “It was actually my assistant’s idea. My husband [Seal] and I were in India last year, so she said, ‘Why don’t you do an Indian goddess? Like a scary Indian goddess?’ And I said ‘OK!’

“So then she Googled around and she found Kali and showed me a picture, and I loved it.

“I loved it because she’s so mean and killed all these different people and [had] fingers hanging off [her] and little shrunken heads everywhere.”

However, Hindu leaders loved it a little less: a spokesperson for the Hindu Alliance of India called the costume “denigrating”.
