Heidi Klum vows her Halloween costume will be "ugly"
The 52-year-old model famously rocks an over-the-top look at her annual spooky bashes, and while remaining tight-lipped on this year's outfit, the star said it is coming together nicely
29 October 2025
Heidi told People: "I'm going to be very ugly because I always try to do something different.
"I thought last year, I was very cute with my husband as E.T. and the year before that, we were the big peacock with performers. After the worm [in 2022] that felt so simple, I wanted to make something complicated.
"And with having 15 [performers as part of the costume], being so many bodies creating one thing, I thought that that was different again.
"So I hope I came up with something new again."
The TV personality - who is married to 36-year-old Tokio Hotel guitarist Tom Kaulitz - took to Instagram on Friday (24.10.25) and dropped a clue about her highly anticipated 2025 costume.
Heidi's fans were shocked when she shared a photo of a plaster cast of her back and bottom.
She captioned the post with: "Feeling cheeky"
Also in the caption, the blonde bombshell tagged Mike Marino - a prosthetic makeup designer - and added the hashtag #HeidiHalloween.
On October 1, Heidi posted a 3D mould of her head - which could be for a mask to fit the star's head - on her Instagram account.
She captioned the photo with: "This is just the beginning," followed by a tag for Mike and the hashtag #HeidiHalloween.
The two posts kick-started the buzz, as well as a guessing game among her fans about what Heidi's 2025 Halloween costume will be.
People speculated many ideas on Reddit, including that Heidi could be going as robot Bender from the animated science fiction sitcom Futurama, or Jim Carrey, 63, from the 1994 comedy-fantasy film The Mask.
In 2023, Heidi recruited 15 performers to help fill out her peacock costume - with acrobatic performers making up the feathers.
She told People at the time: "I wanted to do a costume with many, many people. I wanted to have a bunch of people, and we all become one thing.
"And for me, in my mind, that one thing was the peacock."
