What You Missed: Sunday, Nov 1

4 min read

“It took a lot of hands putting this hand together.” That was Heidi Klum on her own red carpet last night, and it sums up a Halloween where the best looks were built by teams, archives and a few very patient prosthetics artists. Here is what moved in fashion and luxury over the past day, through Sunday morning, Nov 1, 2026. Every item is checked against its source and linked.

Halloween Front Row

Heidi Klum turns into her own left hand for party No. 25

For the 25th edition of her New York party, held at Cathédrale, Klum arrived as a giant replica of her own left hand, rings, red nails and a “Tom” tattoo included, AP reports via CBS News. She said it took five to six hours to get in, and on the hardest part: “Hands down, the hardest thing is carrying it. It’s quite heavy.” Source: CBS News / AP

Zendaya wears the actual Lanvin set Halle Berry wore in 2000

Zendaya and stylist Law Roach recreated Halle Berry’s look from the July 2000 X-Men premiere in New York, using the original geometric yellow Lanvin set from the fall 2000 collection, Harper’s Bazaar reports. She matched the sunglasses, diamond earrings and pixie cut, and finished with pointed nude heels. Source: Harper’s Bazaar

Maya Jama dresses as Sir Mo Farah, with his real medals

At her own London party, Maya Jama came as Sir Mo Farah, and told Elle UK the Olympian sent his real outfits, medals and trainers, the BBC reports. In New York, Jade Thirlwall arrived at Klum’s party as a stone angel statue and Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka came as the twins from The Shining. Source: BBC News

Why it matters for LA: The winning move was archive over aisle. LA’s vintage dealers and rental closets just got a new brief for next October, and costume makeup artists here should be booking now.

The Watch Drawer

Vivienne Westwood turns its orb button into a pendant watch

Vivienne Westwood launched the Orb Button Pendant Watch on Oct. 31, a necklace watch whose orb cover slides open to reveal the dial, according to the release on PR Times. It comes in silver at 55,000 yen and gold or rose gold at 60,000 yen before tax, with a Swiss movement. Source: PR Times

Why it matters for LA: Chopard’s calavera dial lands right on Nov. 1 and 2, when Olvera Street and Hollywood Forever celebrate Día de los Muertos. The pendant watch is the easy gift: jewelry first, timepiece second.

Drops & Bespoke

Karma builds a one-off 1,195-horsepower sedan

Karma Automotive launched Eximius, a one-off program, and revealed its first car at the Concours at Wynn in Las Vegas, Car and Driver reports. The Eximius 1 swaps the Revero’s three-cylinder for a 6.2-liter V-8 in a plug-in hybrid setup with 1,195 horsepower, 0 to 60 in 2.7 seconds, and delivery to its owner in 2027. No price was given.

Why it matters for LA: Karma builds its cars in Southern California, so this is a local one-off. Expect it on the concours circuit before it hits a driveway.

Fashion editor Kate Granger calls it “a masterclass in claiming” winter. Source: Runway Magazine

Why it matters for LA: Holiday counters at Saks and Nordstrom reset this week. Limited Chanel compacts go first, so the first weekend of November is the time to look.
