Heidi Klum Appears as Giant Severed Hand at 25th Heidiween

The 25th Heidiween used months of prosthetic work, a timed social-media reveal, a branded Apothic wine tie‑in to turn a technical effects feat into a high-profile spectacle.

Overview

  • Heidi Klum arrived at her annual Halloween party on Saturday, Oct. 31, 2026, hidden inside a hyperreal prosthetic that recreated her left hand as a nearly two-metre severed limb.
  • The hand was designed and built by Mike Marino and his ProRenFX team using 3D body scans and anatomical references to reproduce veins, tendons, nails and personal rings.
  • Klum spent roughly five to six hours in prosthetic application, then staged a timed Instagram reveal around 10:30 p.m. before entering the Cathédrale restaurant at the Moxy East Village.
  • Her entrance featured an ambulance-styled vehicle, assistants in yellow protective suits, and distribution of limited‑edition Apothic x Heidi Klum 'Type A' Blood Bags as a branded tie‑in.
  • The costume limited Klum’s movement—her legs served as two fingers and she said the structure was heavy—and the 25th Heidiween reinforced her long-running role as a maker of spectacle that blends cinematic effects with celebrity marketing.
