Heidi Klum left fans stunned with the reveal of her jaw-dropping 2026 Halloween costume.
The 53-year-old German supermodel is famous for her elaborate transformations, but she raised the bar once again on Saturday when she arrived at her iconic Halloween party dressed as a gruesome severed hand.
The macabre creation featured long red claws and bloodied veins spilling from the torn wrist, while Klum’s face appeared to be lodged inside a gaping, grotesque wound.
She was accompanied by five members of her entourage, all dressed in bright yellow hazmat suits.
Klum later unveiled the look on Instagram, captioning the post: “TALK TO THE HAND ✋ #HeidiHalloween 2026 HERE WE GO.”
Before the party, which she has hosted annually since 2000, the star had teased her Halloween transformation across social media.

The supermodel kept her 12.7 million followers engaged with behind-the-scenes footage, including fake-blood-covered props and clips of her makeup team preparing the special-effects look.
On the red carpet, one of her entourage members provided an amusing hydration break by using a syringe to squirt liquid into Klum’s wide, bloodied mouth.
For years, Klum has built a reputation for the spectacular Halloween costumes she unveils at her star-studded New York City celebration.
Last year, she transformed into Medusa from Clash of the Titans for the annual event.
Her previous Halloween creations have included E.T., a peacock, an alien and Princess Fiona from Shrek.
Still, her most iconic costume may be the one she wore in 2022.

That year, Klum appeared as a worm and famously wriggled across the floor.
The transformation was so complete that it was almost impossible to tell the supermodel was hidden beneath the costume’s thick layers.

The costume was so realistic that it instantly went viral, lighting up the internet.
To make the costume come to life, she worked with Mike Marino, owner of Prosthetic Renaissance, a special effects company that has made tons of realistic-looking Halloween costumes over the years.
Her husband, Tom Kaulitz, completed the other half of her costume as a fisherman.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter at the time, Klum admitted that she felt ‘claustrophobic’ while wearing the elaborate costume.
‘I was so claustrophobic in that costume,’ Klum shared.
‘It is one thing to add prosthetics to your body — but to be stuck inside the worm body and not really be able to use my arms or feet was not very comfortable,’ she said.
