The Magic Behind Heidi Klum’s Spectacular Halloween Metamorphoses

Will the real Heidi please stand up? Klum portrayed another icon for Halloween in 2016 – herself! Along with five “clones” in prosthetics and matching looks, the group dressed up in nude bodysuits, matching thigh-high boots, and the model’s signature blonde tousled locks.

In a return to scary costumes, Klum attended her annual event as the werewolf from Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” music video from 1983. Accompanied by an entourage of zombies, she sported the letterman jacket, cuffed jeans, and black loafers from the video. 

“It takes a long time to lay the prosthetics but then putting it all together, it took seven hours,” Klum told People. “Michael Jackson was always such an icon and the ‘Thriller’ video is such an iconic video and I was like, ‘I have to redo that.’"

Klum completely transformed once again in 2018 when she walked the carpet at her party as Princess Fiona from Shrek. She fully committed to the look by covering herself in green prosthetics and arriving at the venue in an onion carriage.

In 2019, Klum enlisted her husband, Tom Kaulitz, for an extra bloody couple’s costume. The model dressed up as an alien zombie, while her husband complemented her look in a bloodied astronaut get-up. To celebrate her 20th annual bash, Klum got ready in front of a live audience at an Amazon Prime book store in N.Y.C.

Since Klum couldn’t host her annual party in 2020 due to the pandemic, she made a mini horror film with her family instead. Her kids starred as toilet paper mummies, and the model used body paint to camouflage into the wall and her bedspread to hide from them.
