Before the 2013 Miss Universe pageant gets underway, the contestants took part in a preliminary runway where they donned costumes that represented their countries. The results were mixed, with some being truly lovely, while others are a bit confusing.
Take Miss USA Erin Brady, for instance. Her costume, created by Victoria's Secret costume designer Martin Izquierdo, is a Transformer of all things. Brady looks like a strange version of Optimus Prime from the Michael Bay film series. Brady addressed the costume on her Instagram, writing, "Nothing screams national costume like the first Miss USA transformer. Embracing powerful women to a transforming country that's made up of so much. That's what Miss USA means to me." The irony is the Transformers line of toys originated in Japan, before they were renamed for the United States.
The other costumes range from over the top, to abstract. Then there's Miss Canada, who picked up...

Kim Kardashian, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are all preparing for the Spookiest weekend of the year! What do You think they'll dress up as? Last year, we saw some of the scariest Halloween costumes ever -- Kim Kardashian as Poison Ivy, Heidi Klum as a human body turned inside out and Chris Colfer as a sea monkey! This year, however, all eyes are on Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez and Kristen Stewart -- among many others! We think that Justin and Selena need to outdo Jenna Ushkowitz and Michael Trevino as Green Monkeys from Legends of the Hidden Temple! That was one clever and a Super cute idea, but we have faith in Justin and Selena to outdo their cuteness! Heidi revealed that she will dress up as Cleopatra this year.

If there’s one thing we’ve learned in the past decade, it’s that Heidi Klum is really into Halloween. Like, possibly to an unhealthy extent. And this comes from someone who’s just compiled a list of 75 different sexy Halloween costumes! So yeah, she’s pretty intense about it. The Victoria’s Secret Angel’s annual spooky bash gives her an excuse to go all out with the dress-up and make everyone else look like they threw a damn sheet over their heads and went as a ghost. In past years she and her then-husband Seal teamed up for some pretty epic couples costumes. They’ve gone as Eve and the Forbidden Fruit, the god Kali and a warrior, some kind of killer Transformers, and last year as a pair of gorillas! There’s no rhyme or reason to their choices, just that they’re Hollywood-level elaborate!

It's Heidi Klum's favorite time of year. The supermodel is known for her extremely elaborate and thought-out Halloween costumes, and this time around won't be any different, except for one minor detail—we get to see the whole creation process! Each year brings the question of how the Project Runway host will outdo her previous getups, so for this Halloween, she's going big. Klum decided to go with Cleopatra as her costume, complete with a gigantic headdress, a Swarovski crystal mask and a whole lot of gold (like, a lot). The video starts with her first meeting with costume designer Martin Izquierdo, and when he asks what direction she wants to go in,...

Heidi Klum made sure no-one outshone her this Halloween, wearing an intricate design which work began on in July. Hosting her annual Halloween party in Las Vegas, the Project Runway host dazzled with her skinless corpse creation - which she revealed had been designed and hand-painted by Martin Izquierdo. "We started in July," Klum told Us Weekly. "We started with a body suit that was white. And then, basically, everything had to be hand-painted. "This is my 13th Halloween party this year and (more)...
