Workin' it.
Heidi wore an original, custom-designed Galliano last night to the Oscars and for once, we have not one bad thing to say about it. She looked fabulous - although there was WAY too much red on the red carpet last night.
The dress will go up for auction at MyCokeRewards.com with proceeds helping to build awareness for women’s heart disease on behalf of the Red Dress Campaign for Heart Truth.
Okay, we lied. We do have one bad thing to say:
Her jewelry looks like it came out of a bubble gum machine.
Heidi and Seal on the red carpet with Miss Seacrest:
Check out our Tom & Lorenzo blog for our thoughts on the red carpet dresses tomorrow.
UPDATE:
Of course she had to ruin it by dressing up as The Human Disco Ball for Elton John's after party.

Thank you! My dreams coming true..!
Yes, Heidi looked amazing. I liked her jewelery though except the combo of those two rings on one hand. Hair is stunning too. Why don't they put Tim Gunn on the red carpet? With YOU guys. My crystal ball says.....
The one on her ring finger looks like one of those lollipop rings. Did she sneak any licks?
I loved the dress and the color.
This afternoon, I'm going over to visit a friend at the Peninsula. It'll be interesting to see who's still around.
By the way, Daniel Day Lewis looked rather dashing, I thought.
Ok just looked at the video and Heidi has THE BEST response to "who are you looking forward to seeing tonite?". She says, paraphrasing "no one, I'm here with my Man". That has just got to have every straight man out there drooling among everything else about her. She's broken every preconceived notion I ever had about her as a Victoria's Secret model, in a good way. I love her down to earth, just niceness.
I think she looked gorgeous (ok, in a barbie doll way) but still, beautiful! The jewelry is hideous...and pink?
Heidi looks gorgeous! Thank you for these great pictures. I love the back of the dress.
She looks amazing! Wow! What a beautiful dress. Whoever said she doesn't look good in red is wrong.
YAY!! I can't wait for your commentary tomorrow. Heidi looks great. I didn't know it was her first time attending the Oscars. Cool!
I think the Red Dress Campaign was the reason so many others were wearing red as well.
I think the jewelry would have been more appropriate on that little girl from 'Attonement'. It was cute, but just not right for a woman of a certain age, at the Oscars.

I just caught "Miss Seacrest". HAHAHA!
Off Topic-
I thought the funniest moment last night was when Randolph Duke was looking at Jennifer Hudson and said, "Well, she sure loves to wear jersey. I have nothing else to add."
I thought the cut of her dress made her boobs look like they were being held hostage in a gunny sack.
Custom designed...hmmm...that collar sure reminds me of Chris/Christian's dress this season and Chris's dress for the art challenge. Maybe Heidi really liked it.
That was one fabulous dress. I would wear that, and it would look great!
Seriously, I thought that was one of the most beautiful red dresses in a sea of dowd. The other was Anne Hathaway's Marchesa dress.
What, no Diamonelle™ product placement for Frau Seal? And what's with the Princess Leia Organa bun glommed on the back of her head?
Ha! The 'product placement' is Heidi's own clover line. ;)
Gorgeous gown. She looks incredible. Love the Chris March vibe. :)
The dress looks better in your caps than I thought it looked while she was moving in it.
She still looked great, but I thought the hair looked like a little wicker basket stuck on the back of her head. I thought perhaps she had packed a lite picnic dinner in it in case the show ran long.
the dress was gorgeous!!! and I also got some of the Chris/Christian collar vibe in it. who was the designer?
contrary to many here, I thought the jewelry was fabulous!
Miss Seacrest!!
LOL!!!
I love you guys!!
herdgirl72
"I'm not wearing a bra" LOL I love Heidi! She looks great, beautiful dress.
Heidi looked amazing!
I've got a question for anyone...
Screenwriter Diablo Cody (Juno), was wearing something that looked A LOT like Uli's Bryant Park collection. Anyone know who designed it??
This dress is my favorite of all the gowns Heidi has ever worn on the red carpet. She looks STUNNING!
Stunning!! I can't understand her! She can look this divine and then turn around and wear a cookie monster outfit? I'm stumped!
This outfit tho - delicious!
yay! so excited for tomorrow :D
No bangs!
The dress is amazing.
Many people, here and otherwise, mocked Chris March's last gown with the collar as being too "costumey," and this dress is very similar to it, with the Chris Marchesque collar. I loved both Chris' dress and this one.
I did NOT love her fake bun - whoa! That much hair might pull Heidi backwards, right onto the red carpet!
Actually, I didn't mind all the red dresses. They were a nice change from the steady stream of black dresses. I look forward to your fashion blogging--can't wait to see your snark about Tilda.
Looking at Heidi's dress from the back, she has the draping that Chris had on the front of his Art Challenge Dress, plus the collar, and the fact that the dress was custom, makes me agree with someone else here that Ms. Klum really liked Chris' Art dress, and that she wanted something similar to it. It is almost as though she took Chris' dress, toned the collar down, and turned it around for her Oscar look. Nice. I like it.
Love the Nina video.
She's right about it taking a lot of work to be a designer.
I think of Sweet P over there on a manufacturing over in China when she got word from PR to put together a collection. Now that's someone who didn't waste any time looking for a job once PR was over. That's a working designer! I'm sure she's got a similar job now.
Sweet P was blogging for MTV last night about the Oscar fashions.
"Oohh crap…who is that guy? Is he drunk? Whoa, it’s Gary Busey."
I think the spoken commentary which will be up tomorrow will be better.
Frau Seal looked fabulous in red, which is usually the case. But I will give that dress props...it was stunning.
And may I commend Heidi for properly dressing her hair. If I have to look at one more starlet dressed in a fabulously expensive designer gown while sporting (no pun intended) apres-gym hair on the red carpet, I'm going to do someone a physical injury. I loathe that look.
Collar for the Galliano confection and the work of SissyBear in Avant Garde and the MMA Challenge share the "big frame" theme. Others picked up on that similarity.
Having Galliano as an inspiration is no bad reference point. Or vice versa, as the case may be (which would be MIGHTY interesting), but I doubt we would ever know the real backstory.
All the best,
NDC
Considering how heart disease is the #1 killer of women, it was nice to see lots of women wearing red dresses this year. If women wear red dress pins, why not red dresses too?
I thought it was hot, but I have to say if Sissy Bear had sent that down the runway, they would have called it costumey and derivative.
My first thought was that Heidi was like the wedding guest that is trying to outshine the bride. This wasn't her night. She should have toned down that dress.
Why was Heidi at the Oscars? Was/Is she involved in the movie business? Someone please enlighten me.
The red dresses seem to be the best dresses this year.
Heidi Klum and Katherine Heigl were stunning in red last night. They were easily the best dressed at the Oscars last night (although I preferred last year's dresses. I LOVED Reese Witherspoon's eggplant gown, one of my favorites of all time).
Even Anne Hathaway looked pretty chic in her red number.
it's a shame Cameron Diaz's dress was wrinkled at the bottom as it had a lot of potential.
biggest disappointment: Nicole Kidman. Lover her balenciaga dress from least year and this black dress seems almost dowdy despite the gigantic necklace. Still she looks beautiful, but what a waste of what is probably last night's most expensive accessory.
Another great title. At least now I've replaced "Roam" in my head with "She Blinded Me With Science"!
What a pretty picture Heidi was last night!
My favorite dresses were Jessica Alba's and Anne Hathaway's. Diablo Cody's dress was interesting, but she had to work too hard holding the front slit together so we wouldn't see her tootie.
Wow.
Frau Heidengoof Von Titzenseal really looked the part (& for a good cause--nice)!
Yeah, what's w/ that jewelry? She on a budget? C'mon! Like some crafter tried to bead macrame.
Emma P.
I'm w/ Kanani. DDay Lewis looked splendid. Very unique w/out the pimp flash (Wesley? Purple?).
Anon12:15 - Diablo Cody's dress was by Dior. :)
Daniel Day Lewis could wear Costco and he'd still look gorgeous in a grunge-meets-poetry kind of way.
Though I have to say.... what was with his wife's dress?
I hated Daniel Day Lewis's look. I couldn't get over his shoes. Tan?!??! Did not work with his suit, which was ok.
OMG. You should have included a link to the horrible outfit Heidi wore to the after party!

Thanks T&L for highlighting the jewelery. Did you guys know that Heidi DESIGNED that crappy jewlery?
Wow, she looked awesome, and I have to disagree about the jewelry, I think it is fabulous. You know that gaudy costume jewelry is all the rage in Hollywood right now. All the stars are wearing it.
Also, I am so proud of Sweet P and her gig. You go girl! I guess others have a higher opinion of her that some people (person) do. Way to go Sweet P.
"Her jewelry looks like it came out of a bubble gum machine." But she looked great.
Haha-- you are so right!
Aydee
Oh thankyouthankyouthankyou for upcoming red carpet commentary - cannot WAIT!!!
Oh yes, when I first read that you had nothing to say I was appalled because that jewelry - yech!
Seacrest was so incredibly vulgar and stupid during the 6-8 (EST) slot that I was relieved, yes relieved, when they switched over to Regis Philbin for the "official" red carpet special.
While I love red, there was, in my view, way too many icky shades of red this year. My favorite reds were worn by two women who are beyond our judgment on fabulosity: Julie Christie and Helen Mirrin.

I loved the gown that Tilda was wearing, it looked ravishing on her. Also loved that costume designer that won for the Queen Elizabeth I movie. And Anne Hathaway.
anonymous 2:15 - I also wondered about that dress that Diablo Cody was wearing. Certainly reminiscent of Uli but probably not by her.
Did she wrestle a crocodile?
Red outfit: Pretty dress. Meh jewelry.
Silver outfit: meh
Off topic: According to my husband, while I was at work on Saturday, our 6 year old daughter, the rabid PR fan, was playing with some of her Littlest Pet Shop toys. (For those not in the know, they are little animals that are about 3 inches high) Apparantly the toys were getting on a bus, and she came to last two and said "One of you will be in and one of you will be out." She looked at the two creatures for a minute then said "Seal, you are in." When I was told the story, I said "Heidi would say the same thing." (Daughter does not know Heidi's husband is Seal)
As per the comment about Julie Christie, WOW! She looked amazing. Did she have work done or is that just good genes. She looks like she's in her 40's and I know that's not possible.
Also, what happened to Heidi's cleavage? Did she get them removed?
Reen31
First off, there can never be too much red anywhere at any time!
Heidi is stunning in that dress. She just gets better and better.
It's so annoying.
I just finished reading a rant (by a dorky food critic) that the Eiffel Tower lighting is too sparkly. The same applies to Mrs. Seal's second outfit.

Seriously! What was with Renee Zellweger's hair? Lordy!

Ah hahaha!
I was just thinking "That get-up reminds me of something . . ."
and here you are! :)
This dress looks like Chris' art dress. Interesting. Maybe that's what Chris' dress needed: to be longer and not so stiff.
Anyway, can't wait to read your comments tomorrow and watch PR on Wednesday. In the preview its looks that Chris gets decent reviews from Nina and Michael does not like Rami's very much.
Christos
I couldn't agree with you more another laura, about ryan seacrest being vulgar. Did you see him staring down Jessica Alba's dress and asking her if she was going to breast feed! That haunted me all night.
I hope in your red carpet commentary you single out Marion Cotillard in Gautier because she was absolutely my pick for best dressed!
Re: The After Party Photos.
When the best thing you can say is "Well, at least her crack isn't showing", it's not the best dress she could've chosen.
Emma P.
Granted, the mirrored disco ball dress is little a bit tacky, but it's hardly surprising. We all know Heidi and her enduring fondness for bright things that glint and sparkle. She's like a tall, German magpie...she just can't resist Teh Shiny. :-)
I think I am going to be the exception here, but I was not a huge fan for Frau Seal's dress. I thought the bust line looked wonkey and flattened out her boobs. Heidi has a great rack and she should put'em out there and show them off. Yes, even gay men can appreciate a nice rack. ;-) PasGuy1965
I love the first dress.
Who designed the disco ball?

Sorry, we forgot to mention that: Roberto Cavalli.
The second dress is not that bad, typical Cavalli, but it looks poorly fitted.
That red dress is unbelievably beautiful!
I liked the silver dress too...come on guys it was a party, lighten up!
Wow! That dress for the after party looks like an escapee from the WWE challenge!
And someone stole the collar of that red dress from Chris.

True, it is a party dress...but the problem is not just the dress...it's the dress, the shoes, the bag, the earrings...did you see the size of those Beyonce-esque shiny earrings? Take a look at the seceond pic.
A lot of red on the red carpet. She looks gorgeous! What a beautiful dress!!
Shit! All those mirrors!
Well, only Heidi Klum could wear a dress like that.
She looks terrific, but at the same time I just want to put her in front of the sun and maybe start a small conflagration with a pile of dried leaves to get that avant garde moment.

Not sure...but they invite all kinds of celebrities to the Oscars, not just actors.
I love red dresses to start with, so really loved her gorgeous red dress. The FIRST thing I thought was "Oh, large assymetric collar, huh?" Then the detail at the waist line as well. It was fabulous.
The jewelry was some special collection - they were talking about it in an afternoon pre-show, but I wasn't paying much attention so don't know the story. Apparently several celebrities were wearing similar pieces - the ring and bracelet were the ones they showed.
The silver dress looked like the product of a PR challenge to recreate an iconic 70's item.
Any chance you can also do a jewelry recap tomorrow? I'd love to see a close up of Nicole Kidman's necklace as well as the Cathy Waterman piece that Laura Linney wore.

Oh my. I made an involuntary snort sound when I read that. Excuse me.
Meep.
Roberto Cavalli? HA! No wonder he liked Chris.
Oh no, this silver stuff.
And after that lovely red dress.
But you've got to hand it to her, after having babies and all that, the body is fabulous.
Just musing for a moment - she looks to me like a Star Trek character in this, except for the very low cut front (never on 60s TV!) and the shoes. White knee-high patent leather boots would have gone just fine and completed the look.
what's with the matchy-matchy shoes? fug.
The thing about Heidi is, no matter what she wears; no matter how tacky or ridiculous, she can get away with it. She still looks great.
If that 'quality' was something you could bottle, you'd be richer than Bill Gates. Genetic Lottery in a bottle. Someone work on that.
--GothamTomato
Oh my....yeah TAC-E!
I'm just going to by pass the obvious wrongness of the matchy match dress, purse, and shoes and go right to the jewels. Why must this women wear jewels that look so damn cheap. She looks like she had been pimp'd out by mtv.
Heidi darling lets keep it to a one ring maximum!
holy moly. I can count her vertebrae.
As for dress number 2, in the parlance of the Duchess, "It's too matchy-matchy"
And THAT is an understatement!
dear elisafan,
oh yes, the breastfeeding question and the commentary on how everybody should be looking to see how the English television producer had his head in Seacrest's crotch - "my crotch, can you see it, can you get a shot of how this guy has his head IN MY CROTCH" - it made me throw up in my mouth.
sorry, anonymous 6:18 is from

elisafan
"The thing about Heidi is, no matter what she wears; no matter how tacky or ridiculous, she can get away with it. She still looks great. "
Too bad she is ... what did you call her? oh yeah, "a Raging Bitch"
I'm thinking less Elton John, more Olivia-Newton John, circa Xanadu.
Heidi was one of the best-looking on the red carpet, I do believe. That red dress was beautiful on her! The jewelry was a little Claire's, though.
I just wish this whole glittery, disco-y, "Beyonce" way of party dressing would GO AWAY. It's happening way too much, and hard on the eyes.
I finally watched the clip. Don't you wanna just throttle Ryan Seacrest? Damn, he's annoying.
On the other hand Herr and Frau Seal are a charming couple. They seem to really enjoy each other's company.
I agree- Heidi is unfailingly tactless and bitchy. Her response to "who are you looking forward to seeing?" was stunningly graceless. The "no bra" comment was just oafish and crude.
It's the curse of the beautiful woman-- so used to being constantly cooed over, often they forget to develop character.
That hair is Marcia's bun from the avant-garde challenge.
She went from the sublime to the ridiculous. That first outfit was jaw-droppingly beautiful, the second stunningly tacky.
ack! how could she follow that perfect red dress with a tacky-ass metallic that smooshes down her spectacular butt? i swear, celebs are so fucking reckless with those perfect bodies!
(sally looks to the right furtively...then left)
....whispers~ "I had that dress in gold, 1983...and my pumps were bronzed-patent with 4"gold-metal cigarette-heels. The shoes felt like wearing knives, but they were IN, baybee!")
...runs for a dark corner ~
hahaha...p.s. I had the earrings, too, but they were in yellow and black--to go with my rugby striped sweater dress -- ala Betsey Johnson.
I give the Heidi a LOT of latitude, she makes for good Blog.
Heidi's dress looks much better in the photos here than what I saw. So many pics I found early on made the red seem oranger, which totally doesn't work on her.
I do take exception to the brightness of the red used. Slightly toned down would have been nicer, but I've noticed that glaring red seems to be the thing right now. Saw it on the runway, on the red carpet, in the freakin' stores. Blech.
The jewelry looked like it came as part of a gumball machine prize or from Claire's bargain bin.
The party frock? Remind me to hire Heidi as a human disco ball for my big party after I win the lottery.
Kanani, my thoughts exactly on Jennifer Hudson's dress. We of the larger bosom should never leave our girls hanging that way.
She shouldda worn Sweet P's peacock dress to the Elton John party. Someone couldda come up to her and asked "Oh, you shop at Target, too?"
That second dress looks like the famous Mirror Ball Trophy from Dancing with the Stars! Is Frau Seal angling to be a contestant??
YES! Seacrest is horrifying! Why does he get paid to be a personality when he barely has one?
That silver dress certainly sucks all the wattage out of Heidi's smile! It's the hair I can't get past, with both looks. It's so uptight.
I hope you don't limit your snark to just those on the Red Carpet tomorrow. I'd love to hear your reactions to Imelda Marcos on E! That is, Kimora Simmons. I honestly didn't have a clue who it was till someone called her by name!
BrianB
Loved the red gown, but geez, the mirrored dress....Are they casting another Austin Powers movie?
At least Heidi wasn't wearing dark stockings with the disco ball dress like she was wearing to the reunion show. Those things bothered me with that dress.
That red dress was so classy and beautiful and stunning! I wouldn't have changed!
I thought the red dress looked like a Disney-on-ice costume for the Evil Step Mother from Enchanted.
The human disco ball costume? I agree with you babies 300%.
And she is also taking tanning advice from the Duchess....
Love,
Milla
From classy to glassy, that's our Heidi.
The disco ball dress looks like Jillian designed it.
I think THIS is what Chris should be doing.
The Galliano red numbah, I mean.
Although, I don't think he'd have any trouble with the disco ball either.
-- desertwind
I thought the jewelry was fun. The rest of the outfit is just so serious, I think the jewelry added a fresh, whimsical touch.
Ugh! Heidi really does have a real lack of taste, doesn't she? This dress looks like a cross between Sweet Pea and Jillian's wrestling designs. I am surprised she doesn't make the "Worst Dressed List" soon.
"She's a beauty queen AND a disco ball!"
Someone had to say it.
Ha! The human disco ball. She just careens all over the fashion map.
My buddy Larry & I dressed very similarly to Heidi to ring in the new century on 12/31/99 - short silver sparkle shifts, platform heels and foil wigs. Heidi wears it better than we did...but not much.
heehee on the disco ball.
Hey do you fellas or anyone have a suggestion on how I could download this video to share it somewhere else? I tried to register at redlasso.com but I guess I have to wait until they "find a spot" for me. Dang that's one exclusive club there (I probably don't have the right clothes to get in).
If anyone has a clue on how to up or download or copy or whatever that video of Heidi /Seal with "Miss Seacrest" I'd surely appreciate it!
Nevermind the above...just realized I could/should just point them to this blog! Duh.
That disco ball dress was made of left overs of her reunion show dress.
