A visual history of Heidi Klum's epic Halloween costumes over the years

Halloween has its traditions, sweets, scary movies, pumpkin carving – and the annual spectacle with Heidi Klum's costume.

The former supermodel TV personality likes to surprise her guests with her elaborate costumes, like in 2022 when she arrived at the event at the end of a fishing line and wearing a slithering worm costume.

“I just wanted to be something random,” she explained while lying on the floor for maximum worm-like effect. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone who was an earthworm before.”

Last year, she enlisted the help of several Cirque du Soleil artists to provide tail feathers for her impressive peacock costume.

“There's a lot of planning behind it, you know,” Klum said through her peacock beak, standing next to her husband Tom Kaulitz, who was dressed as an egg. “Because first you have to have an idea.”

At her 2008 party, she dressed up as Kali, the Hindu goddess of death and destruction – complete with multiple arms, dangling heads and a thick layer of blue body paint.

Klum said she would immediately plan her look for the following year. “After tonight I will think about what I will do next year. It always has to be different. Completely different,” she said.

Other notable Klum costumes over the years have included a giant Transformer, a clone (complete with multiple Klum lookalikes), an older version of herself, and a failed alien experiment.

The star has also transformed into a fearsome butterfly, a monkey, a cat, a crow – and cartoon characters like Jessica Rabbit and Fiona from Shrek.

“Personally, I don’t like it when people hide behind these full masks. “I prefer when people get a little creative and play with their faces when they put on a lot of makeup,” model Klum told the AP in 2007. “That's always my favorite thing about myself, it makes me really scary.”
