Heidi Klum’s Halloween 2026 Costume Is Simply Out of Hand

Heidi Klum and Daughter Lou, 16, Are the Ultimate Duo at Paris Fashion WeekHeidi Klum nailed her bloodcurdling look. In fact, at her annual star-studded party held in NYC Oct. 31, the model sent shivers through the crowd when she arrived wearing an enormous—and—severed re-creation of her own left hand, complete with her wedding ring. "I mean literally, my left hand inspired me,” Heidi exclusively told E! News on the event’s red carpet. “I looked at my hand and I was thinking, ‘How can I fit my body into this hand? There must be a way,’ and we found a way to put my body into a hand.” As for how long the process took? Hands down, quite a while. “Today it was about six hours to get ready,” she explained, “but obviously my team—they spent months doing this. Many people, many hands doing this hand.” Just a month before debuting her spine-chilling costume, the Project Runway alum teased her attire, noting it would be “very, very bloody.” But Heidi’s latest ensemble should be no surprise since the Queen of Halloween has been pulling off extravagant looks for years. As for her petrifying ensemble last October, she sported a head to tail Medusa costume, complete with an epic tail and rattlesnakes on her head.A mythological getup that took months to create. "Everything is hand-painted," Heidi exclusively told E! News at the time. "About 15 people have been working on this, and I think they did a fantastic job."Noam Galai/Getty Images for Heidi KlumAnd it was no easy feat since crafting the unrecognizable costumes for her and Tom—who fittingly dressed up as a Greek soldier turned to stone—was made to tip the scales. "I've been thinking about Medusa for quite some time," Heidi noted, "because I've seen over the years obviously many, many Medusas, and I thought, you know, one day I'm going to try my own...I really wanted to have snakes that were moving, a super-ugly, super-scary face, really ugly teeth, and to be like a really long rattlesnake."For even more creepy celeb costumes from this year, keep reading…Noam Galai/Getty Images for Heidi KlumHeidi KlumThe model's costume is hands down one of her best, as she dressed as her real left hand—including her wedding ring from husband Tom Kaulitz.Noam Galai/Getty Images for Heidi KlumValentina SampaioYou'll be green with envy over the model's Poison Ivy look.Noam Galai/Getty Images for Heidi KlumAndrew Rannells and Tuc WatkinsThe Girls alum and One Life to Live actor appear to have crashlanded on the shores of Heidi Klum's party.Noam Galai/Getty Images for Heidi KlumKaren MulderThe Victoria's Secret model wore Karl Lagerfeld's personal clothing while dressing as the late designer.
