Fashion News Roundup: Miranda Kerr and Heidi Klum Are Hosting Dueling H’ween Parties, YSL Makes Scented Mascara, and PETA Wants Gaga to Go Green
Victoria’s Secret Models’ Dueling Halloween Parties: Current Victoria’s Secret Angel Miranda Kerr is hosting a NYC Halloween soiree the same night as her predecessor and Halloween queen Heidi Klum’s annual bash. It’s like a Zoolander-esque walk-off, except they’ll be wearing funny costumes and probably won’t even see each other. The horror!! Mwahaha. {NY Post}
PETA Wants Gaga in a Lettuce Dress: PETA will design a dress of leafy greens, and is even offering to supply someone to spray the ensemble with water so it doesn’t wilt. How generous! {Styleite}
You Can Vote for British Style Icon of the Year: Once again, the British Fashion Council is letting us vote for our favo[u]rite Brit it-girl. Alexa Chung won last year, but there are a lot of other strong contenders and a few fresh faces this time around. Who shall it be? As Captain Planet would say, the power is YOURS! {Telegraph}
Breaking: The Mulleavys Will Not Be Dressing Up as Black Swan for Halloween (We Have Suggestions for Them)
Natalie Portman as the Black Swan is poised to be a popular Halloween costume this weekend, especially among fashionistas. The costume is dark and edgy and slutty without being obviously slutty. It’s perfect!
But Rodarte’s Kate and Laura Mulleavy, who designed Portman’s ballet costumes for the hit film will not be going as Black Swan. Not that we could ever picture the Mulleavys, who dress very simply, in black sequined tutus, but still, now we know for sure. PHEW. WWD caught up with the sisters at FGI’s Night of Stars (they were honored as “luminaries”) and asked if they were dressing up for Halloween. “I don’t know as what yet, which is kind of the conundrum,” Laura said. “Someone asked me the other day, ‘Are you dressing up as Black Swan?’ And I was like, “No, but I know how you can get one because they sell [the costumes] now.” Kate said she doesn’t have a costume yet. So, now you know.
Here are our suggestions for the Rodarte girls:

Turning Tricks for Treats: The Most Inappropriate Girls’ Costumes on Sale this Halloween
Ah, Halloween… A night when college students, professionals, and celebrities can all dress like cheap hookers in public with little or no repercussions. It used to be that you had to wait, longingly, until you were a teenager to get all skankified. When I was little, my mom always forced me to weather-proof my Halloween costumes because it was “going to be really cold out.” (I must add that I was still the coolest Princess Jasmine ever with a beige turtleneck under my turquoise crop top.)
But based on the costumes available to pre-adolescents today, times have seriously changed. Apparently, frost-bite is no longer a concern! Neither is looking like a child prostitute. A quick peruse through the myriad of specialty costume sites was enough to educate me on how the elementary and middle school set is now expected to celebrate Halloween. Some noteworthy info: No little girl’s costume is complete without a microscopic tutu. Fishnets are perfectly appropriate children’s wear and not at all suggestive. And female fire fighters wear shiny go-go boots.
So without further ado, here’s a list of some stand-out, pedo-friendly costumes for you to look out for in your neighborhood this October 31. If you thought those Pretty Woman and Dolly Parton outfits on Toddlers & Tiaras were appropriate and adorable, just wait until you’ve seen “Pretty Lil’ Kitty” and “Tween Kimono Cutie Geisha”! You just wait.
