Alert – As Heidi Klum proves she is the Queen of Halloween with an elaborate peacock costume… a look back at the star’s most bizarre outfits from Jessica Rabbit look to THAT worm suit

Heidi Klum is known for her love of Halloween and her extravagant, intricate and bizarre costume ideas.

The supermodel, 50, has won worldwide acclaim for her annual star-studded ‘Heidiween’ Halloween extravaganza, in which she has shocked and surprised celebrity guests and fans with her boundary-pushing outfits.

And this year, Heidi didn’t disappoint as she made a grand entrance at her 22nd annual Heidiween celebration, held at the Marquee in New York, on Tuesday. 

She wore an elaborate peacock costume that was supported by a total of 10 people and she even stood on top of a similarly dressed member of her entourage, who formed the bottom half of the dramatic look.

The star has never shied away from extensive prosthetics to wow during spooky season including her iconic 2015 Jessica Rabbit costume which saw the model sport face and body implants.

She also transformed into a senior citizen in 2013 complete with wrinkles, age spots and yellow teeth, and last year dressed up as a creepy ribbed red worm.

After the Queen of Halloween once again triumphed at her incredible annual party, .com looks back at her craziest costumes yet…

2023 – THE PEACOCK

This year, Heidi once again managed to turn heads as she sported a very elaborate peacock Halloween costume.

She was supported by a total of 10 people to complete the intricate costume as she posed up a storm for the cameras, looking unrecognizable in the Halloween garb.

Heidi’s portion of the costume consisted of a tight blue velvet bodysuit and a face covering with a yellow beak and a bedazzled head. Atop her head was a feathered embellishment.

The runway phenomenon — who dressed up as a creepy ribbed red worm at last year’s celebrations — stood on top of a similarly dressed member of her entourage, who formed the bottom half of the dramatic look.

Heidi was also joined by her husband Tom Kaulitz, 34, who was dressed as a large white egg, and daughter Leni Klum, 19, who showed off her incredible figure in a racy pink outfit.

Behind her, forming the magnificent tail of her costume, were a number of people in green bodysuits with peacock eyespots. On their backs were fanned out wings that matched their green costumes. 

While posing for the shutterbugs the blonde beauty hilariously planted a kiss on her egg husband. 

Heidi took six hours and 10 Cirque Du Soleil artists to create her peacock Halloween costume after revealing she wanted to create ‘something very elaborate’ for the season after dressing as a ‘minimal kind of rainworm’ for her 2022 bash.

She told Entertainment Tonight: ‘Hair and makeup maybe took six hours, but really it was more in the planning, meeting with the artists, figuring out their costumes and makeup.’

When it came to deciding on this year’s extravagant outfit, she was keen to get ‘multiple people’ involved after going more lowkey and static with last year’s costume.

She explained: ‘Just because I was this very minimal kind of rainworm [in 2022], I wanted to make something very elaborate and I wanted to make a costume with multiple people.

‘I started thinking about, what could that be? What thing could that be, what animal, what creature?

‘I was thinking a peacock because a peacock is kind of together with the feathers and then it opens up. And I wanted to make an art performance out of it.’

2022 – THE WORM

Klum slithered into a creepy ribbed red worm costume for her 21st annual Halloween party at Sake No Hana in New York, before stripping down in a sizzling sheer sequined bodysuit while retaining her creepy worm face. 

Heidi ditched her stocky costume inside the party and put a jaw-dropping display in a transparent bedazzled bodysuit and brown boots, however she did hold on to her face mask.

The bombshell blonde let her voluminous blonde curls down, and happily posed with her other half.

Earlier, when she wore her worm costume, the only visible part of the runway sensation’s face were her eyes and smile, while the rest of her was covered by the unique costume, which featured a tail.

The runway phenomenon covered up her hazel eyes with bright yellow eye contacts and even completed interviews while laying on the ground.

2015 – JESSICA RABBIT

The AGT judge looked completely unrecognizable as she got the look down with a fake chest and bottom that gave her an hourglass figure on steroids. 

The model had spent days in a prosthetic lab to create her stunning look. 

Heidi dressed as Ms Rabbit from the 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit. The cartoon was voiced by Kathleen Turner. 

Her face was completely different. Heidi had very large lips and eyebrows worn very high. Her shadow was purple and her lashes were inches long. 

‘Let’s get this party started,’ the Project Runway star alerted her friends and fans alongside a photo that showed her fresh-faced with hair pulled back into a tight bun.

Heidi sat still as the technicians applied flesh-toned make-up to her forehead and cheeks before lowering a thick, skin-like mask over her entire face.

Just her eyes, nose and mouth were peeking out as the make-up experts worked tirelessly perfecting the ‘face.’ 

2013 – HEIDI THE SENIOR CITIZEN

Heidi transformed into a wrinkled old lady thanks to an Oscar-winning make-up team for her 14th annual Halloween bash in 2013.

The supermodel dressed geriatric by donning pearls, a white wig, a skirt-suit costume, and a cane.

Heidi appeared to love ever minute of her entrance, joking with photographers as she held up her walking stick.

The German stunner shared the dedicated, lengthy process behind her old-age makeover with her 1.9 million Twitter followers.

‘Ok guys…here I go into the future,’ she tweeted. ‘Fun times!’

Heidi had a bald cap, varicose veins, wrinkly prosthetics, and a hunched spine applied by make-up maestros Bill Corso and Mike Marino.

2016 – HEIDI’S ATTACK OF THE CLONES

The  model hit the red carpet of her 17th Annual Halloween Party in New York City with five clones. 

No doubt a lot of careful planning went into the reveal as each of the other women had prosthetics put on their faces to look just like the German-born beauty at the gala event held at the Vandal restaurant.

Obviously some looked exactly like the former Victoria’s Secret Angel while other faces missed the mark just a bit.

There was plenty of attention to detail paid to the look as they wore completely matching outfits including a nude-colored patterned bodysuit featuring gold metallic studs.

As if that wasn’t enough they all had their dirty blonde locks worn down into waves in middle-parts as they proudly flanked Heidi.

It was all about the details as even their make-up aside from the prosthetics was the same including shiny pink lip and smoky eye. 

As if the costume wasn’t enough, the big reveal was also very intricate as they were unveiled in a large wooden crate with stickers with ‘Made In Germany’ all over it.

2019 – FLESH-EATING ALIEN

The star gave her guests the shock of a lifetime as she was a gory humanoid alien on the attack while arriving at her 20th Annual Halloween Bash.

She gave fans an inside look into the several hour long process as she sat in front of a glass window in an Amazon store in the Big Apple prior to the event.

All the hard work seemed to pay off as she looked absolutely horrifying while arriving in a quarantined biohazard capsule alongside new husband Tom Kaulitz.

The mask was gruesome with light green skin, extra flesh on the head and red cut marks over one cheek. 

2018 – PRINCESS FIONA AND SHREK

The America’s Got Talent judge slathered herself in green body-paint and channeled Princess Fiona from hit movie franchise Shrek, with musician beau Tom Kaulitz dressing as the famous title character ogre. 

Going the extra mile, the couple not only dressed as the beloved Dreamworks Animations but even emulated their mannerisms and family set-up as they towed a pram filled with tiny ogre triplets down the black carpet at the event, which took place at Lavo New York, and was sponsored by Party City and Svedka Vodka. 

Not content with a mere slathering of green body paint, Heidi and Tom spent in hours in make-up and relied on prosthetics to ensure they looked uncannily like the movie characters. Ensuring she didn’t shatter the illusion, the supermodel even replicated Fiona’s ample bust and large puffy feet.

The German-born beauty sported the Princess’ trademark emerald green gown and managed to find an exact embroidered replica, while Tom was picture perfect in his off-white shirt/brown vest ensemble.

2018 – THRILLER WEREWOLF 

Heidi paid homage to Michael Jackson’s classic Thriller music video from 1982 as she wore a werewolf costume which looked exactly like the one made famous by the late artist. 

The legendary 14-minute John Landis directed video began with a famous scene where Jackson is on a date and morphs into a large, hairy creature. 

Heidi’s look was a spitting image to the one made famous by the Bad hitmaker as she had grey prosthetics including hands, chest, and feline face, which were crafted especially by a team of special effects and make-up artists, including talented brother-sister duo Mike and Nikki Fontaine.

The intricate ensemble came complete with long grey ears peaking through a long black and grey wig in addition to whiskers coming from the cheeks.

Even the rest of the look was spot-on as she sported a red and gold varsity jacket with a big ‘M’ patch, jeans, white socks and black leather loafers.

And despite having to wear several layers of make-up, in addition to the realistic prosthetics covering her face and body, the supermodel rocked the entire look for several hours, only retiring from the dance floor in the early hours of the morning in order to remove the intricate costume.

No doubt they wanted to do the classic music video justice as she was also joined by several others wearing zombie costumes much like in the clip.

Each zombie who accompanied Heidi down the red carpet and into the party was modeled on a character from the original music video, in order to give as much authenticity to the look as possible.

The masterminds behind the costumes even went as far as to burn the hair on the wigs in order to create a truly ‘dead’ finish.

2010 – GLAMOROUS ROBOT

The statuesque beauty went from supermodel to superhero, fitted out in a red and metallic purple power rangers style body armor.

At 5’9″ Klum is by no means short but the star stood over eight feet tall in the costume.

She sported a sparkly purple face and a red wig for the night – which saw her walk in stilts in her backyard in preparation.

She said: ‘It was amazing, though, because I was so tall and I could just tower over everyone.’

2008 – HINDU GODDESS KALI

Heidi sparked a backlash when she dressed up as Hindu goddess Kali with blue body paint and eight arms.

The star said of the look: ‘You have this heavy backpack with eight arms you lug around all night/’

The costume was slammed by many Hindus who branded the costume ‘offensive.’ 

2011 – SKINLESS HUMAN BODY AND AN APE

The star had herself wheeled into the party on an autopsy table to make a killer entrance at her Halloween party. 

Speaking about the daring ensemble which left little to the imagination she said: ‘It’s kind of like a dead body with the first layer of skin ripped off. It’s basically like me naked.’ 

At another bash she  stepped out as an ape, in a matching costume to her then-husband Seal.

The couple arrived at Heidi’s party as the primates, in costumes that were not only impressive but also extremely realistic.

The model looked unrecognizable in her ensemble and her costume boasted nipples to show she was a female under the coarse hair suit.

As well as the moulding on her face and the ears the couple also had monkey feet and hands to finish off their look, no detail was overlooked when it came to this fancy dress ensemble. 

2001 – DEAD LADY GODIVA

The star memorably arrived on horseback to her 2001 bash, as she dressed as a dead Lady Godiva.

The beauty donned a floor-length wig, fake blood and nude bodysuit for a noughties reenactment of the historical moment.

She was seen whipping her locks around and sporting jewels as she danced up a storm on the black carpet. 

2009 – CROWS 

In 2009 Heidi and Seal bizarrely dressed up as crow complete with feathers and huge beak headpieces. 

The star later revealed that Seal had some serious issues driving in the get-up to the venue.

2006 – ORIGINAL SIN 

In 2006 a then-pregnant Klum brought original sin to life in 2006, courtesy of a bulbous apple with genius wraparound snake.

But her best accessory was hubby Seal who was hilarious dressed as a blond-wigged Eve.
