If there's anything we can all count on, it's for Heidi Klum to have one of the best Halloween costumes of the night! Apart from being the “Queen of Halloween,” the supermodel, America’s Got Talent judge, and mom holds several other hats. But of course, we also know Heidi for her memorable and iconic Halloween parties that occur almost every year. These spooky parties are always filled with some of the biggest names in Hollywood, strutting in some of the best celebrity costumes.
However, the most anticipated attendee of all is Heidi herself! Ever since her annual Halloween party commenced in 2000, her costumes have become more intricate and made countless headlines on Halloween night. From spending hours in prosthetics to creating a short film with her entire family during COVID-19, we always look forward to her grand reveal every year.
And now that we have another Halloween down in the books, take a look at Heidi Klum's 2024 Halloween costume! And in addition to her costume, we are also sharing all of Heidi's best Halloween costumes from past years — they are all showstoppers!
2024: E.T. Phone Home!
As Heidi teased fans all day with what was in the works for her costume, she stunned everyone by dressing up as a female version of E.T. Even her husband Tom Kaulitz got into the theme of it, portraying the alien who loves Reese's Pieces and wants to phone home. And as Heidi explained on Instagram, she chose the costume because "E.T. introduced me to the idea that there’s life outside planet earth."
2023: Giant Peacock Halloween Costume
After giving fans a sneak peek of her costume on Amazon Live earlier in the day, Heidi Klum wowed everyone when she appeared as a giant peacock at her annual Halloween party. She even had a team that was dressed as her peacock tail!
2022: Worm Halloween Costume
Heidi Klum walked down, or rather, "inched down" the blue carpet as a worm, alongside her fisherman husband, Tom Kaulitz.
2021: Zombie Halloween
After canceling her annual Halloween party for the second time in a row. Heidi Klum decided to pay homage to some of her favorite horror movies with her short film that she created for 2021. After crawling out of her grave, she resumes her life as mom with her kids; except this time she turns into a zombie. From her flesh peeling off to her eyeball falling in her drink, her kids definitely know that something is not right. We guess you’ll just have to watch the short film to find out what happens (if your stomach can handle it)!
2020: Toilet Paper Mummies
Heidi's children — Leni, 16, Henry, 15, Johan, 13, and Lou, 11 — got head-to-toe zombie-mummy makeovers for the short film. “We had so much fun shooting this together,” Heidi told Vogue. “My kids learned so much in these two days of filming about how some tricks work, how to move and act like mummies, how to remember their lines and cues. Even though they have come to visit me on many sets over the years, this is the first time they have participated.”
2019: Flesh-eating Alien
The supermodel partnered up with her husband for this gory, out-of-this-world look. Her entire costume came together with 10 hours of prosthetics and makeup, which she shared during her Amazon livestream.
2019: A Firework
For her first costume of the season, the model transformed herself into a firework, complete with a glittery face and green hair. She was joined by her husband in a matching ensemble.
2017: Michael Jackson's "Thriller"
You can't celebrate Halloween without busting out a "Thriller" dance. She brought the 1982 music video to the streets of New York City in this nearly-identical Michael Jackson outfit.
2016: Heidi Klum
You know you're a big deal when you dress as yourself for Halloween. Yes, really. Heidi arrived at her 2016 party in her Victoria's Secret best with an army of lookalikes.
2015: Jessica Rabbit
Va-va-voom. Inspired by the leading lady in Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Heidi enhanced her figure with prosthetics, bold makeup and a curve-hugging red dress.
2014: Butterfly
Um, did we just take a trip to Cirque de Soleil?! Heidi waltzed through the streets of New York City in this bold and beautiful butterfly costume, massive wingspan included.
2013: Old Lady
The details on this Granny costume are everrrrrything. She used makeup and prosthetics to age her skin with varicose veins and wrinkles.
2012: Cleopatra
Now there's the Heidi we know and love! She let her natural beauty shine in this dramatic Cleopatra costume, complete with a gilded gold headdress.
2011: Human Body
Talk about commitment. At her first Halloween party of 2011, she dressed as "the Visible Women" and had men dressed as surgeons wheel her out on a gurney.
2011: Ape
A few days later, Heidi and Seal did a complete 180 in this head-to-toe hairy costume. They leaned on prosthetics for a life-like ape look.
2010: Robot
Kudos to Heidi for walking down an entire red carpet on stilts. Oh, and for covering her entire body in purple latex.
2009: Crow
What's better than one crow? A whole murder of 'em! Seal matched his then-wife in this intricate, feathered costume. To no one's surprise, the model admitted that the beak and wings made dancing, drinking and eating nearly impossible.
2008: Hindu Goddess
She took a cultural shift in 2008 when she dressed as Kali, the Hindu goddess of death and time. This blue, multi-armed costume was a showstopper (and still is TBH).
2007: Cat
How does she make this classic Halloween costume look brand new? Well, a custom catsuit certainly helps.
