Klum had the same Halloween costume idea this year - Cleopatra - but,
thanks to Hurricane Sandy, Klum will keep her Egyptian queen look under
wrap until Christmas
But, thanks to Hurricane Sandy,
despite already giving fans a sneak peek on Twitter, Klum will keep her
Egyptian queen look under wraps until Christmas.Meanwhile Gisele, who is expecting her second child with husband Tom Brady, posted a Facebook picture of her Queen of the Nile ensemble on Wednesday.
The Brazilian 32-year-old's regal queen was clearly inspired by movie star Elizabeth Taylor's 1963 rendition as the brunette stunner is seen in the same iconic blue eyeshadow and braided black wig.
The image was, unfortunately, cropped at her shoulders so it's unclear what her sleeveless dress looks like below.

Both Victoria's Secret beauties opted for ornate
collars and golden snake-headed headdresses - though Heidi's two-foot
design wins for height alone.The German-born 39-year-old gave fans a sneak peek at her elegant Cleopatra costume last month on her website, posting a video of designer Martin Izquierdo fitting her.
A make-up free Heidi even managed to flaunt cleavage in the bold, glittery gown with gargantuan winged sleeves.

Coast hurricane, the recently divorced mother-of-four has since canceled
her 13th annual Halloween party at Finale.She then tweeted her plans to reschedule the soiree for 'a haunted Christmas.'

The couple became famous for their array of his and hers outfits, and have dressed up as ravens, monkeys and the serpent and the apple from the Garden of Eden.Some of Heidi's more memorable costumes from the party have included last year's dead body outfit and the Hindu goddess Kali back in 2008.
Meanwhile, Gisele recently covered Harper's Bazaar Brazil's November issue, which was shot by Terry Richardson.

Photographer Mario Testino recently revealed that he had to fight to get Bundchen into his stories because of her unconventional assets for a model.
'Nobody liked her, nobody wanted her. I had to fight to get her into my stories because nobody thought she was right – too this, too that, the nose, the breasts, the waist,' Testino told Vogue UK.
'But I believe in being obsessed, in getting obsessed.’
