Heidi Klum’s fans have been counting down the minutes to see the unveiling of her 2025 Halloween costume.
The 52-year-old supermodel’s love of Halloween is as legendary as her elaborate costumes, which she reveals each year at her star-studded Halloween bash in New York City.
Keeping with tradition, Klum has kept tight-lipped about her costume this year, though she told People this week that it won’t be pretty.
“I’m going to be very ugly because I always try to do something different,” she said. “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.”
Klum’s joint peacock costume with her husband, musician Tom Kaulitz, required 15 additional people to navigate. She felt the need to create that more “complicated” costume, she told People, because her creepy worm costume in 2022 “felt so simple.”
Klum added that she strived this year to do “something new again.”

On Oct. 28, Klum teased fans about this year’s costume in her Instagram story when she reposted an image by hair and makeup artist Floridan Ferino of a wig with slicked-back, dark hair.
“Halloween prep,” Ferino wrote on the image, tagging Klum.
Ferino later shared a drawing of Klum in the style of the sketch that Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) makes of Rose (Kate Winslet) in the 1997 movie “Titanic.” He added a replica of the large diamond necklace Rose wears in the film.
“Heidihalloween on our way,” he wrote, tagging Klum again.

Last year, Klum arrived at her annual Halloween party dressed as E.T., the lovable alien from Steven Spielberg’s hit 1982 sci-fi flick “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.”
Her costume was inspired by the makeover E.T. gets from his young friend Gertie, played by Drew Barrymore, who was just 7 when “E.T.” was released. As in the movie, Klum’s E.T. sported a long blond wig, red lipstick and a black hat and scarf.
Kaulitz accompanied Klum to the party dressed as E.T. without the wig, lipstick and human clothes.

Klum shared a behind-the-scenes video this week on Instagram that showed her and Kaulitz working with costume designers last year to create their E.T. looks.
“I have sleepless nights over Halloween. You have no idea,” Klum says in a voiceover at the video’s onset. “I always hope that it works out.”
The video then shows Klum walking down a hall to meet Kaulitz and the costume designers. “This is Halloween, this is Halloween, this is Halloween!” she excitedly chants.
