PHOTOS Celebrity Halloween Costumes: Michael Kors as Singing Hippie

Michael Kors hippie costume

Project Runway judge and fashion designer extraordinaire Michael Kors was channeling Arlo Guthrie at Bette Midler’s New York Restoration Project Hulaween Gala at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City on October 30, 2009. His hippyriffic Halloween costume was straight out of the early ’70s, complete with long white hair and mustache, tie-dyed shirt, groovy leather hat and guitar. Michael was just trying to prove Heidi’s point about fashion, “One day you’re in, the next day you’re way out man.”

Michael shared his Project Runway critical prowess and acted as judge of the Hulaween costume contest. I wonder if the best and the worst had to stand in front of him and face the kind-spirited harsh truths Michael so often shares with the designers on Project Runway. I’d pay to see that! “This outfit is a little too not costumey. I wrote down ‘K-Mart bargain bin.'”
