Heidi Klum Once again she went all out for her annual Halloween party, delivering another show-stopping costume that had everyone talking. However, there was one personal touch to this year’s look that had a special connection to her husband, Tom Kaulitz. Although the musician was notably absent from the festivities, Klum found a way to make it a part of the Halloween fun.
Heidi Klum’s gory Halloween look showed off her own busy hand
This year marked the 25th anniversary of Heidi Klum’s annual Halloween party, and the supermodel went all out again, transforming herself into a terrifying sight with bloody details.
Klum went like a severed hand, but not just any hand. Her elaborate outfit was modeled after her own left hand, making the terrifying scene more personal.
She spoke to him Entertainment tonight and she shared details about her outfit, saying that the thumb ring is an accessory that she hasn’t taken off for the past two decades. There was a stack of rings on her ring finger, which included her engagement ring and wedding band. Klum noted that her husband was not attending the party, so she found a way to be with her.
When she turned around, she revealed the name “TOM” written on one of her fingers, repeating the tattoo she has in real life. “He’s always with me,” Klum said.
Tom Kaulitz out on tour
Kaulitz usually attends Klum’s Halloween parties, but the guitarist is currently on tour with his group, German rock and electropop band Tokio Hotel, in Europe.
Klum said they will reunite when she joins him on the upcoming legs of the tour. A day before her Halloween party, Klum posted a photo of her hand up, revealing her “Tom” tattoo. “Tom I miss you,” she told the post. She also had red nails, like her outfit.
It seemed to be a simple declaration to her husband in recognition of her Halloween ensemble. “I can’t believe this was the biggest thing the outfit was going to be, but I never would have guessed,” one fan commented on the post after her appearance.

Klum has become famous for her elaborate Halloween makeovers, and since they started their relationship, she’s teamed up with her husband for coordinated couples costumes.
In 2018, months after they started dating, the couple went to a Halloween bash as Shrek and Princess Fiona and went full ogre with prosthetics that made them look like they stepped out of the DreamWorks franchise.
The following year, for their first Halloween as husband and wife, they modeled as an alien while Kaulitz was a bloody astronaut.
The couple’s outfits continued to influence him in the years that followed. In 2022, Klum transformed into a giant worm while Kaulitz played a fisherman. The following year, she was a peacock, with her husband dressed as a giant egg. They turned things up in 2024 as ET and a female version of the alien, before taking on a mythological theme in 2025, with Klum as Medusa and Kaulitz as a warrior turned to stone.
The model’s uniform was conceptualized in 2025
Klum often works with prosthetic designer and special effects makeup artist Mike Marino for her costumes. The acclaimed artist revealed that this year’s broken hand costume was conceptualized as soon as the Halloween party ended in 2025.
Regarding how the big hand was created, Marino told Allure that there was a harness and mechanics inside that allowed Klum to move in a fluid motion. Despite its size, he revealed that the handle was made of lightweight foam and latex, making it weigh only about 8 to 10 pounds.
Klum’s face was hidden, with her eyes, nose, and tongue peeking out through the “muscles, organs, and fat” that were artificially made with prosthetics.
Heidi Klum has hosted two Halloween parties since 2000
Klum started her Halloween party tradition in 2000, and has kept it going almost every year since. The only exceptions were 2020 and 2021, due to the COVID pandemic.
In 2012, the Halloween party was canceled due to Hurricane Sandy, but it went ahead in December of the same year and was rebranded as the “Haunted Holiday Party”, where the model raised money for the Red Cross.
Klum never thought her Halloween parties would go on for years, but now she doesn’t want to stop. When I moved to America, I immediately fell in love with Halloween and how scary it was. All that was lost was a great party. It felt like a real opportunity to me,” she said The Hollywood Reporter in 2018.
With this year’s festivities behind her, Klum may already be dreaming of another transformation for next year’s celebration.
