Heidi Klum’s Medusa Costume for Halloween 2025 Is Her Creepiest Yet

by

The Queen of Halloween strikes again.

Heidi Klum unveiled her elaborate 2025 Halloween costume at her yearly party, solidifying her reputation for creating one of the most talked-about looks of the season. This year, she transformed into the mythical figure of Medusa for the October 31st event.

The host of Project Runway showed off her costume at her 24th annual Halloween party, sponsored by Butterfinger and held at the Hard Rock Hotel New York. She was accompanied by her husband, Tom Kaulitz, who dressed as Perseus, the Greek hero known for slaying Medusa.

Heidi Klum offered fans a preview of her elaborate costume in the weeks leading up to the event. On October 17th, she posted a picture of a prosthetic bust on Instagram, along with fabric samples and tagged the makeup artists helping her create the look. Just before the final reveal, she shared a short video of herself applying green makeup and a bald cap as part of the costume.

The 52-year-old, who has four children – Leni (21), Henry (20), Johan (18), and Lou (16) – with her ex-husband Seal, has said before that it takes a lot of time and effort to perfect her Halloween costume.

She told TopMob News that preparing her E.T. costume for her 2024 party took a full year. The day of the party, they started getting ready at 10 a.m. and finished just in time to head down to the event.

Tom, who also famously dressed as E.T. that year, explained that the project required a lot of teamwork and careful planning.

Heidi Klum is famous for her amazing Halloween costumes. Over the years, she’s dressed as iconic characters like Jessica Rabbit (from Who Framed Roger Rabbit? in 2016), the werewolf from Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” video (in 2017), and Fiona from Shrek (in 2018). She especially loves Halloween because she gets to host her own party to celebrate!

She told The Hollywood Reporter in 2018 that she instantly loved Halloween after moving to the United States, especially the fun, spooky atmosphere. She felt something was missing, though – a great party – and saw it as a perfect chance to create one.

The model explained she chooses dramatic outfits intentionally, hoping her guests will also dress up when they see her style.

She explained that the party has been a success, largely because guests have gotten more and more creative with their costumes over time. It’s become famous for its incredible outfits, and she believes her own enthusiasm for Halloween has inspired others to love it as much as she does.

Heidi Klum and her husband, Tom Kaulitz, dressed up as characters from the 1982 film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Klum told Jimmy Fallon in August 2025 that she really enjoyed playing E.T., but the prop head was surprisingly difficult. “It was so heavy holding that head on my head,” she explained, “it went from the back to the front and I thought my neck was going to snap!”

Heidi was incredibly proud at her yearly party, and she had nine guests dress up as the colorful feathers and claws of a peacock to create a stunning visual effect.

Heidi Klum celebrated her 21st annual Halloween party – sponsored by Now Screaming X Prime Video and Baileys Irish Cream Liqueur – by revealing a creative worm costume. The America’s Got Talent judge is known for her elaborate Halloween looks!

After enjoying a night at Sake No Hana, Heidi changed into a nude sheer bedazzled jumpsuit.

The reality TV star shared on Instagram that Halloween will be different this year due to the coronavirus, but encouraged people to still find fun and creative ways to celebrate at home.

For her Halloween video, Heidi dressed up as a spooky mummy. It was just one of several scary costumes she showcased in the five-minute clip.

Heidi blended into her walls with this clever costume in 2020.

Heidi? Are you there? It was difficult to find her because she blended right in with the blue and black patterned sheets.

The star’s costume was truly out of this world when she turned herself into a gory alien.

The supermodel dressed up as Fiona, the beloved green princess from Shrek. She’d wanted to do this for a long time, explaining to People magazine that she just needed someone adventurous enough to join her. That’s when her husband, Tom Kaulitz, stepped in.

One of the judges from America’s Got Talent had a blast dressing up as the werewolf from Michael Jackson’s iconic “Thriller” music video. She said she really wanted to perform the dance from the video.

For Halloween this year, rather than dressing as another person, the fashion expert created five identical versions of herself using prosthetics and stunning wigs.

Heidi who? The former Project Runway host answered only to Jessica Rabbit.

My kids were amazed when I transformed into a butterfly,” she shared with TopMob News. “They asked, ‘Mom, is that really you in there?’

The actress told TopMob News that her children were frightened when she dressed up to look like an older version of herself.

Heidi gave Elizabeth Taylor a run for her money with this chic Cleopatra costume.

Here, Heidi Klum is pictured with her former husband, Seal, during what appears to be a much happier and more passionate time in their relationship.

The model, previously known for her work with Victoria’s Secret, had a strikingly toned physique. She first showcased this look at a party in Las Vegas on October 29th.

The model is tall, but not that tall. Heidi wore stilts to make this robot monstrosity more menacing.

Here’s a fun fact: a group of crows is called a murder! That might be why the model decided to base her spooky costume around the bird. When she realized the event’s backdrop was black, she jokingly said she’d have to take care of the entire set design. She explained to People magazine that after that, she started coordinating everything – not just her costume, but the step-and-repeat, the carpet, and all the other details.

Heidi’s costume as the Hindu goddess of death and time, Kali, has since divided the internet.

Heidi’s ferocious feline doesn’t hold a creepy candle to the CGI in Cats.

She looks absolutely adorable in her costume, which is based on the story of Eve from the Bible and the tempting fruit.

Eat your heart out—literally!

It’s not always true that witches wear black! This particular witch actually had a delicate, lacy costume, and she even used a fake skeleton she found at a medical supply shop as part of it.

Gladiator goddess or sci-fi dream? Either way, this vivacious look goes down as one of her best.

The former Victoria’s Secret model was red hot, as she channeled the iconic Betty Boop.

In her second year hosting, the star went full Lady Godiva—horse and all!

The model’s style has evolved over time, but for her first public appearance, she simply went as Heidi – referencing the character from Johanna Spyri’s classic novels. She wore a dirndl, though it wasn’t a completely traditional one, and she did her own hair and makeup at the time, as she told People magazine.
