From Maya as Sir Mo Farah to Heidi as her own left hand: The best Halloween looks

Celebrities have been embracing the scariest day of the year by dressing up as sport stars, dismembered limbs and unsold concert tickets.

From Maya as Sir Mo Farah to Heidi as her own left hand: The best Halloween looks

Supermodel Heidi Klum stunned at her 25th annual Halloween party in New York, transforming into a massive, bloody severed hand. The 53-year-old looked completely unrecognizable as her own chopped-off left hand, a creation she described as unique and different from anything she's ever seen. Klum, who has a penchant for unusual costumes, explained that the idea came to her when she looked at her hand and thought she could fit inside it.

She assembled the costume with the help of about ten or twenty people. Klum's annual Halloween party, which brings together celebrities from around the world, saw other attendees like Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka dressed as twins from The Shining, and pop star Jade Thirlwall as an angel statue. In London, broadcaster Maya Jama hosted her own Halloween party, dressing up as four-time Olympic champion Sir Mo Farah to honor the athlete.

Jama told Elle UK magazine that she had wanted to dress as a man for Halloween for years and that Sir Mo had been enthusiastic about the idea, even providing her with his Olympic medals and trainers. Comedian Katherine Ryan attended as Jama, recreating one of her recent Celebrity Traitors outfits. Singer Lily Allen dressed as a Ticketmaster seating map covered in unsold blue concert tickets.
