Story summary

On October 31, 2026, Heidi Klum hosted her 25th annual Halloween party in New York City, arriving as a giant severed hand with blood dripping from the wrist and her head positioned at the center of the palm. The costume included detailed prosthetics to replicate her left hand, complete with her green stone wedding ring and a finger tattoo reading "Tom" for her husband Tom Kaulitz, who was not present this year. Klum made a dramatic entrance in a truck covered in red "DANGER" signs, escorted by actors in yellow hazmat suits. Previous years saw Klum dress as iconic characters like Medusa, a Transformer, and the Hindu goddess Kali.
