Heidi Klum Reveals Halloween Costume as Her Iconic Party Marks 25 Years

The elaborate prosthetic took about 15 artists and months of work, with blood-stained hazmat-suit helpers and a design based on her own left hand.

  • On Saturday, October 31, 2026, supermodel and 'Project Runway' host Heidi Klum arrived at her 25th annual Halloween party in New York City dressed as a life-sized, severed, manicured hand.
  • Klum collaborated with special effects makeup designer Mike Marino and his ProRenFX team to create the realistic appendage using body scans of her own hand for exact anatomical detail.
  • The graphic costume featured red-painted fingernails, gold rings, and a gory gash at the wrist where Klum's face emerged; about 15 people spent months hand-painting the prosthetics.
  • She arrived at Cathédrale flanked by a five-person entourage in yellow hazmat suits, reinforcing her status as the 'Queen of Halloween' through an elaborate theatrical entrance.
  • Husband Tom Kaulitz missed the festivities due to a tour, yet Klum remains committed to the annual event, maintaining her reputation for surprise transformations like past costumes of Medusa and a worm.
