Heidi Klum's 2026 Halloween Outfit Unveiled
How the supermodel's latest handmade spooky costume compares with her most elaborate transformations over the years.
Heidi Klum, the renowned supermodel and TV presenter, has once again outdone herself with her Halloween costume for 2026. The 53-year-old has transformed herself into an enormous severed replica of her own left hand, creating a jaw-dropping prosthetic costume that even captures minute details like fine lines, veins, long red fingernails, and oversized rings.
Her face was incorporated into the design near the bloodied wrist, accompanied by gruesome-looking tendons, ligaments, and bone. A tattoo of her husband Tom Kaulitz's name was also added to her ring finger. Despite Kaulitz being on tour, Klum joked that "a little bit of Tom was still with her." The transformation took around five to six hours to complete, and the finished costume was physically demanding to wear, weighing heavily on the model.
Klum, known for her extravagant Halloween celebrations, often spends months planning her outfits and enlisting special-effects artists to bring her ideas to life. Her costume idea came to her last year after contemplating whether her entire body could fit inside a giant version of her hand. Klum has previously transformed into Medusa, E.T., a giant earthworm, a gruesome alien creature, and Princess Fiona from Shrek, each taking months of preparation and collaboration with teams of special-effects artists.
