Supermodel and television host Heidi Klum marked the 25th year of her annual Halloween party by arriving in a realistic-looking severed human hand costume, adding another memorable entry to her long history of elaborate Halloween transformations.

Heidi Klum hit a milestone with the 25th edition of her annual Halloween party, this time unveiling a realistic-looking severed human hand costume that immediately captured attention. The supermodel and Project Runway host has spent more than two decades building a reputation for high-concept, technically demanding Halloween looks. Last year she transformed into the mythological monster Medusa, sporting a headpiece of writhing snakes and a trailing tail, while her husband Tom Kaulitz attended as an ancient Greek soldier she had turned to stone — a creation that required a team of 15 artists. Speaking to Variety about her elaborate process, Klum described costume-making as "a beautiful art," adding that each look is only good for one night before everything goes "down the drain, so to speak, in the shower." Among her past transformations, Klum has portrayed E.T., Fiona from "Shrek," Jessica Rabbit, and the werewolf from Michael Jackson's "Thriller," as well as creatures including a peacock, a worm, and a butterfly. Away from Halloween, Klum recently hosted the 22nd season of "Project Runway" alongside judges Nina Garcia and Law Roach, having returned to the show after departing in 2018 — she originally hosted for 16 seasons following its 2004 debut on Bravo. She also co-created the Prime Video fashion competition "Making the Cut" with Tim Gunn in 2020, a series that ran for three seasons.
