Overview
- Klum revealed a nearly two-meter, hyperreal replica of her left hand at her 25th Heidiween, which took place Saturday, October 31, 2026, at the Cathédrale restaurant in the Moxy East Village in Manhattan.
- Effects artist Mike Marino and his ProRenFX team built the piece using anatomical references and 3D scans after months of work, and Klum required roughly five to six hours of prosthetic application that left her movement tightly constrained.
- The costume reproduced personal details such as red-painted nails, replicas of Klum’s engagement and wedding rings, and a tattoo, and Klum said using her legs as two fingers made entering vehicles and moving especially difficult.
- Her arrival was staged with a vehicle that looked like an ambulance and assistants in yellow protective suits who completed blood effects, and the event included a commercial tie-in with Apothic Wines’ limited 'Type A' Blood Bags distributed that night.
- The 25th edition continues Klum’s two-decade tradition of secretive, media-driven Halloween reveals that combine prosthetic artistry, logistical staging and branded partnerships to turn a costume into a public spectacle.
