What BBN said about it

  1. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHeidi Klum threw her Halloween party again, and she showed up as a giant, realistic severed hand, E! News reports.

  2. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorIt's the twenty-fifth anniversary of the party, Vera, and it skipped two years during COVID. So that's a quarter century, minus two.

  3. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI'm calling it a family emergency. The hand is a replica of her own left hand, and E! says that includes her wedding ring.

  4. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI'm not saying I care. But how does a hand get through a doorway?

  5. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIt debuted on the red carpet, so I'd say it was received with open arms. Her caption was, quote, talk to the hand.

  6. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThat's the whole caption?

  7. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAnd Kyle MacLachlan came as Cliff Vandercave from The Flintstones, the nineteen ninety-four one, and called it an original costume.

  8. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI'd call that a heritage revival.

  9. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorHere's the detail that gets me. Karen Mulder wore Karl Lagerfeld's actual sunglasses, and they're prescription, so she sees everyone a little fuzzy.

  10. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe Drama Index gives this party a nine out of ten.

  11. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe only thing between it and a ten is that one guest saw the whole thing as a watercolor.
