Story summary

On October 31, 2026, Heidi Klum hosted her 25th annual Halloween party in New York City and made headlines by dressing up as a giant, bloodied severed hand. For the costume, Klum's left hand was replicated with detailed prosthetics that included long red nails, a thumb ring, and her engagement ring and wedding band. She appeared unrecognizable at the event, with only her eyes and mouth visible, and a team of prosthetic artists helped create the elaborate outfit. The inspiration for this year's costume came from Klum looking at her own hand last year and wondering if she could fit her body inside a giant version of it. Previous years have seen Klum dress as various characters including Medusa, a peacock, and Kali, the multi-armed Hindu goddess of death and destruction.
