See All the Fa-boo-lous Stars at Heidi Klum’s Halloween Party

While many of this year’s attendees had spooktacular outfits, Klum herself deserved the biggest applause as she transformed into her own left hand. No surprise—she has unveiled some instantly-iconic costumes since launching her annual monster bash over two decades ago. 

The Project Runway host arrived as Fiona from Shrek in 2018, Who Framed Roger Rabbit’s Jessica Rabbit in 2015 and the realistic earthworm in 2022—all of which were made with the help of her favorite tool: prosthetics.

And though her costumes may be a lovely treat for fans, Klum’s costumes are no trick for her. In fact, they often take months of planning and hours to get into. 

“Everything is hand-painted,” she told E! News at last year’s party, noting it took her and husband Tom Kaulitz 10 hours to get into their Medusa-themed costumes. “About 15 people have been working on this, and I think they did a fantastic job.”

As for why Klum opted for an intricate and grotesque version of the Greek mythology character? 

“I’ve been thinking about Medusa for quite some time,” she continued, “because I’ve seen over the years obviously many, many Medusas, and I thought, ‘You know, one day I’m going to try my own.’”

The 53-year-old added, “I really wanted to have snakes that were moving, a super-ugly, super-scary face, really ugly teeth, and to be like a really long rattlesnake.”

This year, Klum got bloodied up as her own severed left hand—wedding ring and all.

“My left hand inspired me,” she told E!. “I looked at my hand and I was thinking, ‘How can I fit my body into this hand?’ There must be a way… Two legs could fit into fingers and the body in my palm, and it did work.”
