It was always going to be a ghoulish affair, but as the cinematic stock characters came out in force on Thursday evening it was supermodel Kate Moss who stole the show at Jonathan Ross’s annual Halloween celebration.

Arriving fashionably late, the 39-year-old supermodel was joined by husband Jamie Hince, who held her hand as they posed for photos for before making their way inside the genial talk show host’s Hampstead home.

Kate had opted to embrace a cultural theme by arriving as a ‘Skeleton-Lady’ – a symbol of reverence in Mexico, where she is commonly portrayed during the South American country’s national Day Of The Dead (Día de Muertos) celebrations.

The ghoulish look has been getting wider coverage thanks, in part, to celebrities sporting the look over Halloween.

 

Indeed, Sandra Bullock was recently spotted carrying off the look as she guided young son Louis to a children’s party in West Hollywood – but her look paled in comparison to the effectively applied make-up and meticulous costume sported by Kate.

The willowy model’s look was achieved thanks to professional make-up artist Amy Wright, while her hair – hanging in two long curtains on either side of a large black fascinator – was styled by Sam McKnight.

Kate’s multi-layered dress with its wide flare and garish floral design completed the look and added to her appearance as a skeletal senorita.

Jamie appeared to adopt a geographically similar look by wearing identical make-up and a black outfit that gave him the look of a resurrected Western gunslinger.

The couple’s appearance was no less memorable than their attendance at last year’s event, when they arrived dressed as Gomez and Morticia from The Addams Family.

Kate and Jamie were joined at the event by Lila-Grace, the model's daughter with magazine editor Jefferson Hack - and the youngster was clearly delighted by the theatrics on show at Ross's home.

Presenter Ross had gone to great lengths to transform his spacious family home into a ghoulish castle on Wednesday, and he recently admitted that Halloween is a huge event on his calendar.

'The kids enjoy Halloween and so do we,’ he told the Horley Observer. ‘Every year we throw our own Halloween party and create our own spooky maze in our back garden'.
