German supermodel Heidi Klum shocked fans with her 2026 Halloween costume, a gruesome severed hand, at her iconic party in New York City.
The Daily Mail reported that Klum, 53, arrived at her Halloween bash at Cathédrale Restaurant in Manhattan in a costume that featured long red claws and bloody veins bursting from a severed wrist.
Klum's legs were hidden in the hand's middle and ring fingers, while she slid one arm into the thumb, creating a claustrophobic fit.
The Hollywood Reporter quoted Klum as saying, 'I was so claustrophobic in that costume. It is one thing to add prosthetics to your body — but to be stuck inside the worm body and not really be able to use my arms or feet was not very comfortable.'
The realism of the costume was striking, with Klum's fingers adorned with rings and showcasing a fresh manicure, cleverly designed to mirror her own hand.
The Daily Mail noted that Klum's entourage kept her hydrated with a syringe of liquid shot into her gaping, bloody mouth on the red carpet.
Klum's children, Lou, 17, Johan, 19, and Leni, 22, joined her at the party, with Lou in a purple superhero outfit and Johan as a zombie.
The Free Press Journal reported that Klum's annual Halloween party marks 25 years, and she is widely regarded as the 'Queen of Halloween' for her legendary looks.
Klum told Variety that creating memorable experiences through costume design is important to her, saying, 'There still needs to be people that create moments with real people … to me, it’s like a beautiful art.'
Klum had been teasing her costume for a week, sharing snippets while getting ready, and it took her team months to prepare the six-hour get-ready process.
The Daily Mail noted that Klum's costume was anything but your everyday Halloween outfit, complete with bright red manicured nails, realistic veins, muscles, a bloody wrist, and even her signature jewelry.
