How many Halloween costumes do you need if you're an out and about New Yorker? At least three, one for each night of partying. Heidi Klum probably spent hours getting into her insane Transformers costume, Brad Goreski showed a lot of creativity with his Tavi Gevinson costume, while Mary-Kate Olsen's weird ear/mask thing left a little to be desired...
Bloody Burlesque Halloween Ball
Where: Good Units
Who Was There: Patricia Field
Other Details: Guests entered the party through two giant inflatable legs...interesting!

If you want to take a look at the pictures, they're probably the most NSFW photos we'll ever get away with posting on the site, so enjoy!

Who Was There: Richard Branson, Matthew Settle, Veronica Webb, Mary Alice Stephenson, but NOT Queen Noor, who was "unexpectedly detained overseas".

Heidi Klum's Halloween Party
Where: Lavo
Who Was There: Heidi Klum, Seal, Ice T, Kim Kardashian, Ashanti, Coco.
Other Details: In what is no doubt an attempt to impress her kids, Heidi was almost unrecognizable as a Transformer, towering over her equally unrecognizable husband Seal. (Truly, the pictures are insane.) Kim Karsahsian showed up in an utterly boring "sexy red riding hood" costume, and Coco wore costume that concealed maybe, maybe half of her nipples. Ice T looked pretty cute as a doctor, though!
