Christmas may be the most wonderful time of year, but Halloween is definitely the most fun. Every October kids and grown-ups alike are free to go wild, fill themselves with sugar, and come up with a costume to go play in.
The night is so magical, in fact, that even celebs (who play dress up for a living) enjoy taking part. And while Hollywood is filled to the brim with creative types, there is no denying that Heidi Klum is the queen of Halloween.
Few parties are as popular as the annual spooktacular event that Klum holds. The star-studded attendees pull out all the stops to impress their host, however, few can match the model's dedication and creativity when it comes to an epic Halloween costume.
Jennifer Lopez, Lupita Nyong'o, Chrissy Teigen, Gigi Hadid, Jessica Alba have all committed to their outfits when attending the bash.
The former Project Runway judge has a 'no costume, no entry' policy that applies to all guests - no matter who you are. "The costumes get bigger and better every year," Heidi l told The Hollywood Reporter. "And that's because guests know they won't get in unless they bring it."
From Princess Fiona and Jessica Rabbit to an old woman and Cleopatra, Klum goes above and beyond to be the best dressed at her own party.
"I get inspiration from anything and anywhere. For example, when I was the robot in 2010, it was because I had been inspired during a trip to Disneyland," she told The Hollywood Reporter.
"I saw the parade and saw all these people walking on stilts. I was like, "Ooh, I want to be on stilts!" I didn't turn out to be a Disney character, but I just loved the idea of walking on stilts and being really tall."
When Halloween parties were put on hold due to COVID-19 pandemic, the model dressed up for a short horror film that she posted to Instagram.
Her grand return to in-person parties saw the German-American model dress up as a worm. She told People that she wanted to do her red carpet interviews squirming around on the ground because it was "comical":
"It just made me so happy; all these memes and all these funny things that happened from this. Ultimately, that's what I want in the end, I want people to smile when they see it, or they go 'wow, this is crazy, I've never seen something like this'," she smiles.
In 2023, Heidi collaborated with Cirque du Soleil to dress as giant peacock, with acrobats transforming into beautiful feathers.
The supermodel's 22nd Halloween party was presented by Patron El Alto at Marquee New York and saw a number of celebrity guests including H.E.R. and Camilla Cabello.
In 2024, Klum reached for the stars, dressing up as ET dressed as a human. Her husband, Tom Kaulitz, joined her on the red carpet as classic ET.
