The $10 million lady! Heidi Klum steps out as designer reveals just how much her clones Halloween costume cost

A woman like Heidi Klum does not come cheap.

And it has been claimed it cost $10 million to have six of them after the supposed price tag of her spectacular clone-themed Halloween costume emerged.

The 43-year-old beauty, who looked in fine form as she stepped out in New York on Tuesday, splashed out a fortune on prosthetics and wigs according to the man who put the unusual design together.

Keep cosy in style with Heidi's Mr & Mrs Italy parka

Winter is coming... so it's about time you treated yourself to a brand spanking new coat! Despite the freezing weather and dark nights, winter coat shopping is definitely the perk of the season.

Right on cue here's Heidi Klum providing us with some great inspiration in her super cool, supersize parka by Mr & Mrs Italy, featuring some rather statement pink shearling lining. Cosy and fashion-forward!

Mr & Mrs Italy parkas have become a cult outerwear choice, spotted on a whole host of celebs including Olivia Palermo, Cara Delevingne and Rihanna. The good news is Heidi's exact coat is available to buy from Net-a-Porter (click right).

Admittedly this parka comes with a designer price-tag to boot, so if you can't splash the cash, we've found some impressive doppelgängers hanging round the high-street.

As well as claiming the get up cost '10 million dollars,'  Mike Marino of Prosthetic Renaissance told TooFab it took, 'tonnes of work, it's like doing Heidi 5 times. I couldn't have done it without Mike Fontaine, a fellow artist at my company Prosthetic Renaissance, and my crew of 7.

'Another vital aspect was Linda Hay and Rolando Beauchamp from Heidi's team. We all collaborated together like old friends. It's very professional, and we all seem to make it work.

He said that a master cast of the America' Got Talent favourite's face was taken, then a special mask was made for each of the girls chosen to appear as the model.

Mike said: 'Anyone can actually be Heidi if they wear this mask. But, the eye shapes of each girl will show through. That I cannot change. There's really only one Heidi, and her eyes tell it all!'

Even more expensive than a Batman costume: Heidi's clone themed Halloween outfit supposedly cost $10 million

He also said it was all the costume was all the former Sports Illustrated favourite's idea, adding 'there's no changing Heidi's mind one she sees it in her head. But that's what I like about working with her. She knows what she wants very clearly.'

Mike also defended Seal's former wife against claims she had underwhelmed after previously dressing up as Jessica Rabbit 

He said: 'She didn't drop the ball. People are hard on celebrities and have big expectations. They forget that it's all fun in the end and Heidi always has it. 

'She certainly surprised everyone with it, so I guess it turned out to be unpredictable. Which goes hand in hand with originality.'

However he expects the mother-of-four to change tack next year, adding, 'I think we have to go the scary freaky route next.'
