As Halloween approaches, Heidi Klum is gearing up to reveal another extravagant costume for her famous “Heidi-ween” celebration. Here’s what you need to know about her costume plans this year, along with the date of the big reveal.
Klum has been hosting her annual Halloween bash since 2000, maintaining the tradition almost every year aside from a couple of breaks in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic.
Last year, she and her husband, Tom Kaulitz, famously dressed as E.T. from Spielberg’s classic 1982 film, with Klum even mimicking E.T.’s unique finger bending. She shared that she chose this iconic character because E.T. is “part of most of our lives,” and she has always been a fan of the film.

This year, Klum has hinted that her costume will lean towards the “ugly” and “scary” side. “I’m going to be very ugly because I always try to do something different,” she teased, noting that her upcoming look will be distinct from her past costumes, which have included a worm, a giant peacock, and a werewolf.
Klum expressed her desire to dress as something “very ugly and unusual, yet recognizable.” She enjoys the transformation to the point where “people don’t really see me in there anymore.” The official costume reveal will take place at her Halloween party on October 31 in New York City, likely in the late evening.
Hints About Heidi Klum’s 2025 Costume
While Klum hasn’t fully disclosed her 2025 Halloween costume, she has been teasing snippets on social media. Initial glimpses include sharp teeth and green face paint, along with prosthetics applied to her face. Fans have speculated that she might be channeling characters like Greta Gremlin, a snake, or even the Grinch due to her green appearance. The most substantial clue suggests she may be wearing some form of green, scaly skin, possibly resembling a lizard.
Memorable Past Costumes
As we await the official reveal, let’s take a look at some of Klum’s most unforgettable Halloween costumes from previous years.
