Heidi Klum's Evolution of Halloween Costumes: A Look Back

For over two decades, Heidi Klum has ruled Halloween like no other. Hosting her famous Halloween parties in New York City, the supermodel and America’s Got Talent judge has made a name for herself by showing up in jaw-dropping, elaborate costumes year after year.

"I always aim to wear something unexpected," Klum, now 50, shared with PEOPLE in 2023. "While most people opt for typical costumes like nurses or police officers, I look for something unique that you rarely see." And, she added, "My mission is to never disappoint my Halloween fans."

Here’s a recap of some of Heidi Klum's most outrageous Halloween costumes over the years.

2023: The Majestic Peacock

Klum stunned in 2023 with a peacock costume so grand that she required an ensemble of performers to pull it off. She arrived at Marquee in NYC, backed by Patrón El Alto Tequila and Cirque du Soleil, for her signature Halloween bash. “I wanted a group costume where we all became one, and the peacock felt like the perfect fit,” she told PEOPLE.

2022: A Return as a Worm

After taking a break due to the pandemic, Klum brought her Halloween party back in full swing in 2022, this time as an enormous worm. The costume, which took over ten hours to create, was as bizarre as it was impressive. Her husband, Tom Kaulitz, played the role of a fisherman to complement her look.
