There are three certainties during Halloween: pumpkins, lollies, and Heidi Klum in a truly off-the-chain costume.
The German model’s commitment to completely transforming herself each year – who could forget the time she morphed into a giant worm? – has rightly earned her the reputation of Halloween’s costume queen.
And in 2024, she hasn’t disappointed. After drip-feeding photos from her getting-ready process on social media all morning, Klum’s transformation has finally been unveiled.

Klum revealed her outrageous look as she hosted her annual Halloween party in New York.
Hours after Janelle Monáe unveiled her own spin on E.T., Klum stepped out on the smoky black carpet in a similar ensemble, with her husband Tom Kaulitz.
At one point, the duo touched heads on the carpet.

“We’ve got about six more hours,” Marino replies.

Klum shared a second video in which she enjoyed a tarot card reading while having her facial prosthetics applied.
The other clue she offered was a photo of her hand wrapped around a giant prosthetic thumb.
Fans began making guesses at what she could be, with E.T., a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle and Thing from Fantastic Four among the suggestions.
