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

The elaborate prosthetic look took about six hours to apply and featured exposed tendons, rings and long red nails, Klum said.

  • 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.
