Heidi Klum Debuts Animatronic Medusa at 24th Heidiween in New York

Months of planning with prosthetics designer Mike Marino produced moving snakes atop a full serpentine build.

Overview

  • Klum revealed a Medusa transformation featuring an animatronic snake headpiece, a hand‑painted scaly bodysuit and a rattlesnake tail.
  • The look required about nine hours of application after months of prep with Mike Marino and ProrenFX, drawing on a team of more than 15 artists.
  • Her 24th annual Heidiween took place Friday at the Hard Rock Hotel New York, presented by Butterfinger and Huluween on Disney+.
  • Husband Tom Kaulitz complemented the theme as a soldier turning to stone, appearing as a gray statue-like knight on the red carpet.
  • Klum teased the build on Instagram throughout the day as celebrities and fans shared reactions and rolled out their own high-concept costumes.
