Show Notes
No one does Halloween like Heidi Klum. For the past twenty-five years, Heidi has thrown her infamous star-studded Halloween parties where she’s used elaborate prosthetics to transform into Jessica Rabbit and even a worm. This year, she has slowly dropped hints about her costume including grotesque “body-horror like” close up images and a backpack. “I try to always come up with something that no one has done before. I also always try to come up with something unexpected, or it's a shape that maybe a human body doesn't normally fit in.” Heidi Klum told The Run-Through guest hosts senior fashion writer Christian Allaire (who has been covering Heidi’s costumes for the past six years on Vogue) and senior beauty and wellness editor Margaux Anbouba.
On top of Halloween, Heidi is also a regular on our TV screens hosting Project Runway where she shares a hilarious story about the time Michael Kors passed out; and Germany’s Next Top Model. “I do the casting, and the girls come and they can't walk in heels, where I'm more like, "Well. I think you look amazing "But how am I gonna compare you to the others? You're so far behind, like, you can't walk."
Heidi always makes sure to bring her family along with her to every adventure she’s apart of. Whether it was this year at the Vivienne Westwood show where her fashion obsessed daughter Lou went to a show for the first time or the times she’s come up with costumes for her husband Tom to wear alongside her. “ I always wanted to be Fiona and I didn't have my Shrek." And he's like, "I'll be your Shrek." I mean, he almost passed out that night. Shrek is big. All this mass he had to like, carry around and it's like, you know, it's like a big prosthetic piece of plastic, you know? So that was hard for him the first time around.”
Earlier on the show, Chloe and Chioma caught up on what they had planned for Halloween. Chloe took inspiration from Heidi and will be Medusa while her kids are also going to “Geek out”: Artie will become Hades and Alice will be Meg from Hercules. Plus, Chioma or (Dr.Nnadi we should say) tells the story of receiving her honorary doctorate. And they catch up on the WNBA finals that will result in a fun spooky game on Halloween evening. Trick or Treat!!!

More from The Run-Through with Vogue
Chloe and Chioma were back in the New York studio together for a special taping in which they discussed their respective November covers and a few select stories. They started off with the Jenna Ortega cover, shot by the “it” photographer Szilveszter Makó. As Chloe put it, Mako has been photographing “every cover under the sun, but we felt he was really the right person for Jenna, who is so doll-like in her demeanor, and he really made sense for this painterly approach.”
The three winners of the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund, Zane Li of Lii, Aisling Camps, and Emily Dawn Long, join Nicole the morning after they won the top prize. The designers discuss what they will do with their prize money, the brands they look up to, and advice they would give future designers who want to apply to the fund.
Dame Helen Mirren, an actress with a storied career, has at long last entered her villain era. “I think it has to do with getting older,” she told Chloe and Taylor Antrim on today’s episode, “when you’re older, if you’re a woman, you have to be an awful, ghastly person.” Her latest “villain” opportunity comes in the form of playing writer Patricia Highsmith in A Talent For Murder, the latest film from director Anton Corbijn.
Actress Daisy-Edgar Jones joins Chloe on stage after a live screening of Sense and Sensibility for Vogue's book club. They discuss what it's like to work on an adaptation of Jane Austen's work, shoot on a "no phones" set, go barefaced on camera, and sisterhood.
Vogue has been a fan of Oh, Mary! since before the play transferred to Broadway.

Marley Marius, who made her podcast debut in 2024 while interviewing Oh, Mary! creator and performer Cole Escola, joined Chloe again, this time to talk to Yang about starring in this wildly beloved production.
