Heidi Klum appeared at her annual New York Halloween party on Saturday wearing a giant severed hand.
The event marked the 25th anniversary of her first hosting the gathering. Klum said the concept for the costume came to her last year. She wanted to represent her own left hand specifically. The design included long red nails, a thumb ring, and her engagement and wedding bands.
Getting into the outfit took between five and six hours. Klum posted updates on her Instagram earlier in the day showing the application of bloodied prosthetics. She described the process as the most difficult part of the costume.
“Hands down, the hardest thing is carrying it,” Klum said. “It's quite heavy.”
Her husband, Tom Kaulitz, did not attend because he was on tour. However, the costume featured a tattoo of his name on her ring finger, along with her palm lines and veins. Klum noted the personal touch.
“A little bit of Tom is with me,” she said.
The party continues with Klum's history of elaborate disguises. In 2022, she went viral for arriving on a fishing line in a worm costume. Previous years featured looks including Medusa, a peacock, an eight-foot Transformer, a werewolf from Michael Jackson’s Thriller, a clone with lookalikes, and the Hindu goddess Kali.
