Heidi Klum Halloween 2025 is already stealing the spotlight — and she hasn’t even taken off the prosthetics yet.
The supermodel-turned-spook queen promised this year’s look would be “very ugly,” and honestly, that might be an understatement. Fans say no one — not even Hollywood’s biggest effects teams — commits to Halloween the way Klum does.
And judging by early glimpses of her transformation, she’s about to outdo herself once again.
Heidi Klum Halloween 2025: Why Everyone’s Talking About It
Every October, Heidi Klum doesn’t just dress up — she stages a full-blown performance. Her annual New York City bash is basically the Oscars of Halloween. And this year, the 24th annual event was pure spectacle.
Photos from inside the party — covered by outlets like E! News — show A-listers like Darren Criss and influencer couple Campbell “Pookie” Puckett and Jett Puckett, all dressed to the nines in elaborate, movie-level costumes. But all eyes, as always, were on the host herself.
Before the big reveal, Klum teased her followers with a few chilling clues.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, she admitted her 2025 costume would be “very ugly.” And knowing her history — from becoming a full-body worm to a 95-year-old woman to Fiona from Shrek — “ugly” in Heidi’s world means next-level transformation.
The Teasers That Drove Fans Wild
In the days leading up to Halloween night, Heidi dropped a few cryptic peeks:
- Green face paint and a bald cap.
- Animatronic wires and monstrous prosthetics.
- A team of special effects artists working overtime.
Fans started speculating online — was she turning into a Gremlin? The Grinch? Maybe an alien queen?
Whatever it is, it’s not “pretty.” And that’s exactly the point. Klum told reporters she loves “becoming something no one recognizes.” It’s that commitment — to total transformation, to theater — that makes her the undisputed Queen of Halloween.
It’s not vanity; it’s art.

Inside the Party: A Who’s Who of Celebrity Spooks
Held at her usual Manhattan haunt, Klum’s Halloween bash once again drew Hollywood’s weirdest and wildest.
Inside, guests danced under glowing pumpkins and blacklight webs while sipping spooky-themed cocktails — a setting that, as one guest joked, “felt like Halloween Disneyland for grown-ups.”
Among the standout costumes this year:
- Darren Criss showed up as a zombified rockstar.
- Kim Kardashian made an appearance in a futuristic glam-bot ensemble.
- Demi Lovato leaned into gothic glam, complete with a lace mask and crimson cape.
But even surrounded by this much star power, Heidi’s reveal stopped the room cold. Phones up. Mouths open. Another “only Heidi” moment.

Why Heidi Klum’s Halloween Matters Every Year
It’s not just about latex and glitter — it’s the storytelling. Every Halloween, Klum turns transformation into an art form.
She doesn’t just wear costumes; she disappears into them.
And that’s why fans — and fellow celebs — can’t look away. She’s made Halloween her personal Super Bowl. Each costume tells us something about her creativity, her humor, her fearlessness to look strange, gross, or utterly unrecognizable.
There’s also something oddly refreshing about seeing one of fashion’s most glamorous icons intentionally make herself look monstrous. It’s playful, freeing — and kind of genius.
The Secret to Her Success: Total Commitment
People always ask how she does it. Klum once said her Halloween prep starts in June. By fall, she’s meeting with prosthetic teams, concept artists, and animatronic designers. The process can take months — and on the day of the party, she’s usually sitting in a makeup chair for eight or nine hours.
Imagine doing that every year, for over two decades. That’s dedication most people don’t have for their day jobs.
And she loves every second of it.
“Every time, I want to surprise myself,” she told EW. “If I’m not a little scared to walk out in it, I haven’t gone far enough.”
That’s why fans tune in, why her costume reveal trends worldwide every Halloween night.
The Queen Keeps Her Crown
When Heidi Klum steps out on October 31, it’s not just another celebrity appearance — it’s a cultural moment. It’s Halloween’s red carpet, ruled by one woman who’s made reinvention her signature.
Sure, we love a good horror movie. But for many fans, watching Heidi Klum’s Halloween transformation is the horror movie — just with a side of glitter, chaos, and a little too much fake blood.
And if “ugly” is the goal this year? She’s about to be the most stunning kind of ugly we’ve ever seen.
Heidi Klum has built a Halloween empire — one costume, one gasp, one jaw drop at a time. And in 2025, she’s proving once again that when it comes to creativity, she’s not afraid to get a little scary.
Because only Heidi could turn “ugly” into iconic.
