Heidi Klum has as soon as once more secured her throne because the undisputed queen of Halloween.
The “Project Runway” host caught with custom Friday and held one other star-studded social gathering for the spookiest evening of the yr, arriving at her twenty fourth annual bash as Medusa — the monstrous creature from Greek mythology — replete with snakes rising out of her head.
Her husband, Tom Kaulitz, endearingly complemented Klum by dressing up as a knight who tried to battle Medusa and was turned to stone by her gaze. His costume was simply as elaborate as Klum’s, with ashen make-up and prosthetics producing fairly lifelike outcomes.
Klum teased her costume final month by sharing a photograph of the Medusa bust on Instagram. She informed “Good Morning America” on Wednesday, “I’m ready already. But if I had to give you a tease, I’m gonna be very ugly.”
“Very scary!” Klum continued on the time. “But very ugly.”
She’s since shared a number of behind-the-scenes movies and images chronicling the costume and make-up course of, which required a bald cap, quite a few prosthetics, and vivid inexperienced and yellow contact lenses that includes fairly convincing reptilian-like pupils.
The costume is even extra spectacular in movement, as even Klum’s tongue was modified.
Klum held her social gathering on the Arduous Rock Lodge in New York Metropolis, the place she arrived final yr as the enduring title character from Steven Spielberg’s “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.” The 52-year-old mom of 4 informed E! Information on the time that the alien outfit “took one year to get ready.”
The prosthetics for her Medusa outfit have been designed by Prosthetic Renaissance, who not too long ago labored on HBO’s “The Penguin” and introduced Colin Farrell’s titular Batman villain to life — and received an Emmy for Excellent Prosthetic Make-up earlier this yr.

Klum has donned a very electrical selection of costumes over time, together with Betty Boop, the Hindu goddess Kali — and a large worm. The German-born trend icon has been a fan of Halloween for many years and determined in 2000 to start out celebrating it correctly.
“When I moved to America, I immediately fell in love with Halloween and the spookiness of it,” Klum, who grew up in Cologne, informed The Hollywood Reporter in 2018. “All that was missing was a fantastic party. It felt like a real opportunity for me.”
Klum revealed on the time that she began sporting “elaborate outfits” to nudge her visitors to hitch, including: “And it’s worked because, over the years, people have become increasingly more outrageous with their costumes. The party has become almost legendary.”
She added, “I feel like my love for Halloween has made other people fall in love with the holiday, too.”
