Supermodel Heidi Klum is no stranger to making headlines with her elaborate Halloween costumes, and 2026 was no different. As the world celebrated Halloween on Sunday, October 31, the supermodel unveiled one of her most unusual transformations yet - she turned herself into her own left hand. She debuted the look at her annual Halloween party at restaurant Cathédrale in Manhattan, as the much-awaited event completed 25 years. Let's decode her costume and behind-the-scenes process.
The German-born supermodel Heidi Klum underwent a gruesome transformation to become a giant severed hand at her annual Halloween party in Manhattan, New York, on Saturday, October 31. The elaborate costume left her almost unrecognisable, with only her eyes and mouth visible. Blood appeared to trickle from her mouth as she stuck out her tongue. Her head was incorporated into the wrist of the giant hand, complete with realistic-looking veins and tendons.
For days, the supermodel and television personality had been teasing her Halloween costume on her social media account. On October 31, the Queen of Halloween finally unveiled her much-anticipated look in an Instagram post, officially revealing she had transformed herself into a gigantic severed hand.
In the video, Klum showed her left hand, with red nails, walking across the floor. The giant hand featured long red nails, a thumb ring, and what appeared to be her engagement ring and wedding band. She captioned the post, "TALK TO THE HAND #HeidiHalloween 2026 HERE WE GO."
The elaborate transformation once again proved why Klum is hailed as the 'Queen of Halloween'. Over the years, the supermodel has become synonymous with extravagant Halloween costumes, often spending months planning her looks. Her transformations typically involve intricate prosthetics, detailed makeup and special effects, just like her 2026 Halloween costume.
Each year, Klum's Halloween appearance becomes a major talking point, with fans eagerly awaiting her next unexpected transformation.
