Heidi Klum marked the 25th anniversary of her New York City Halloween party by appearing as a giant, severed hand on Saturday. The costume required a five to six hour application process to transform her appearance into the grotesque prop.
The design featured Klum’s own left hand, complete with long red nails, a thumb ring, and her engagement and wedding bands. Dangling ligaments and tendons finished the top of the prosthetic, while blood dripped from her visible eyes and mouth.
Klum explained the concept originated the previous year when she considered fitting her body inside a hand mold. She noted that the weight of the costume made it difficult to carry, describing it as the hardest aspect of the look.
Although musician Tom Kaulitz missed the event due to a tour, the costume included a tattoo of his name on the ring finger. Klum said this detail meant a part of him was present with her during the celebration.
This year's outfit joins a history of elaborate entries for the annual gathering. Past costumes have included Medusa, a peacock, an eight-foot Transformer, a werewolf, a clone, and Kali. Klum also went viral in 2022 for a worm costume suspended by a fishing line.
Helpers in blood-stained hazmat suits assisted the supermodel as she moved through the venue. She posted updates on Instagram earlier in the day showing the bloodied prosthetics being applied to her face.
