Overview
- Klum posted a “last hint” on Instagram on Friday showing prosthetic close‑ups that resemble a blistered mouth and teeth, and wrote “See you TOMORROW,” keeping the full costume secret ahead of her evening event.
- She told USA Today that her body “will fit into a form” it normally would not, signaling a sculptural, full‑body transformation that may limit mobility and require extensive makeup time.
- Longtime makeup artist Mike Marino described the outfit on NBC as one of the most elaborate costumes they have created, and Parade quoted Klum saying the look “will be bloody.”
- Klum announced the Empire State Building would be lit orange and green for Halloween as part of the festivities, while guests Rebecca Mir and Massimo Sinató publicly shared Matrix‑style costumes before the host’s reveal.
- Fans and outlets are actively guessing the identity of Klum’s character with theories ranging from body‑horror figures in The Substance to creatures from The Last of Us and Stranger Things, but the costume remained unrevealed late on the night of the party.
