Heidi Klum is the undisputed queen of Halloween, known for her stunning and innovative costumes that never fail to impress. Every year, she raises the bar with her creative choices, from exotic animals to mythical figures.
Early Costume Highlights
Klum has been delighting fans with her Halloween transformations since the late 2000s. One standout moment was in 2008 when she dressed as Kali, the Hindu goddess of destruction, complete with multiple arms and striking blue body paint.
Her other memorable costumes have included a Transformer and Cleopatra, showcasing her flair for the dramatic.
As excitement builds for her next Halloween reveal, Klum’s track record of extravagant costumes solidifies her title as “Queen of Halloween.” While this year’s outfit remains a mystery, her past creations—like a sultry Jessica Rabbit or a giant worm—promise something spectacular.
“I always try to find things that people wouldn’t normally do,” she shared with People in 2023. “Most people opt for nurses or police officers, but I look for something unique.”
Pop Culture Inspirations
Klum often draws from pop culture, like her 2017 tribute to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” werewolf.
In 2018, she embraced the animated movie Shrek as Princess Fiona, with her husband Tom Kaulitz as Shrek.
Last Halloween, Klum embraced a quirky vibe as a giant worm, lying flat on the ground, while her husband played the role of a fisherman.
Her costumes are always meticulously planned. In 2023, she wowed everyone with a peacock theme, involving Cirque du Soleil performers to elevate her look. “It had to be something completely different,” she noted during her red carpet appearance.
For those scrambling for last-minute costume ideas, Klum has some advice: steer clear of generic store-bought masks. “I don’t like when people hide behind full masks. Be creative with your makeup instead; that’s what I love most,” she told The Associated Press back in 2007.
