Overview
- Klum arrived in an elaborate green, scaled full‑body look with snake hair, oversized ears, claws and fanged teeth inspired by the Medusa myth.
- Husband Tom Kaulitz matched as a grey, stone‑like Greek soldier, a nod to Medusa’s gaze, and told reporters he found the look sexy.
- Klum said the makeover took about 10 hours and credited Mike Marino for the extensive prosthetics and makeup craftsmanship.
- The party at the Hard Rock Hotel New York drew a large invited crowd, with standout guest looks including Bill Kaulitz as Sailor Moon and couples costumes from Rebecca Mir and Massimo Sinató.
- After weeks of Instagram teases, Klum posted the reveal with “Happy Heidiween” and a playful warning not to stare too long, continuing a tradition she has hosted annually since 2000 except for 2020–21.
