Heidi Klum Stuns as a Bloody Severed Hand at Annual Halloween Party

Heidi Klum Transforms into a Bloody Severed Hand for New York Halloween Bash

Heidi Klum arrived at her annual New York Halloween party on Saturday night looking entirely unrecognisable as a giant, gruesome severed human hand, complete with intricate prosthetic blood and specialized makeup.

Celebrating twenty-five years since she began hosting the seasonal event, the German-American model shared multiple photographs of her bloodied limb pose ahead of the festivities, accompanied by a series of hand-based puns. This year’s grotesque display followed weeks of online teasing, during which Klum shared close-up glimpses of slimy, coral-reef-like prosthetic pieces resembling organs.

Celebrity Costumes and Pop Culture Tributes in New York

Klum’s party drew a crowded guest list of celebrities leaning into cinematic and pop-culture history. Actress Zendaya attended the bash dressed as Halle Berry, accurately recreating Berry’s look from the New York premiere of X-Men in 2000 by wearing a patterned bikini top with matching low-rise trousers. Model Cara Delevingne paid tribute to the late actor Tim Curry by dressing as Dr. Frank ‘N’ Furter from The Rocky Horror Picture Show, writing Tim Curry forever in her caption. Elsewhere, reality TV star Kourtney Kardashian and musician Travis Barker channeled Tony Montana and Elvira Hancock from the 1983 cult classic Scarface, posing alongside a vintage convertible car in custom wigs. Neil Patrick Harris and his husband, David Burtka, arrived dressed as the twins from The Shining. Meanwhile, musician CMAT documented a full transformation into Elton John, sporting a fluffy white outfit, a receding blonde wig, a gold tooth, and the singer’s signature tinted sunglasses.

From Earthworms to Severed Limbs: The Evolution of Heidi Halloween

The spectacle continues a tradition of elaborate, highly engineered costumes that demand hours of prosthetic application. In previous years, Klum’s outfits have included a giant earthworm in 2022, a peacock in 2023, the Greek mythological figure Medusa alongside her husband Tom Kaulitz, an alien and astronaut couples costume in 2019, and a skinless human body in 2011.

Weeks prior to the Saturday event, Klum offered subtle hints regarding her visceral direction for the evening. In an interview with People, she noted that her costume choice goes very well with red wine and described it as very, very bloody.
