Klum's husband, Tom Kaulitz , who went as a fisherman, opened up about his wife's ensemble, telling Us at the time, "She just came up with the worm. She's like that. She gets up in the morning and she's like, 'I'm gonna be a worm,' and I'm like, OK. ... I'm running out of options [for my costume].'"

He added, "What can you do with a worm? It's either going to be a fisherman or a gardener or something like that so I decided on a fisherman and now I'm part of the costume."

Klum shocked fans with another out-of-this-world transformation in 2024, when she and husband Tom Kaulitz opted for elaborate ET costumes for the model's annual star-studded Halloween party in New York City.

Ahead of the party, Klum teased what to expect in an interview with ExtraTV on October 29. "It's not from earth and it's a couples costume," she hinted. "[Tom] is such a good sport because it's hours and hours of planning, fittings, prosthetics. For me, it is fun because I love the art of it and I love the amazing people that are able to put all these prosthetics on me."

Klum was striking as a peacock dressed in a blue velvet bodysuit with a beaked mask covering her entire head. The real kicker were her giant wings, which included nine Cirque du Soleil performers dressed in green peacock-patterned bodysuits and matching face paint. Her husband, meanwhile, dressed as a giant white peacock egg.

Klum told Extra on the red carpet at her Halloween party that she got the idea for Kaulitz's look from an egg chandelier in their home.

For her 2022 bash, Klum transformed into a worm with husband Kaulitz as her fisherman.

"She just came up with the worm. She's like that. She gets up in the morning and she's like, 'I'm gonna be a worm,' and I'm like, 'OK.' ... I'm running out of options," the musician exclusively told Us about the couples costume choice. "What can you do with a worm? It's either going to be a fisherman or a gardener or something like that, so I decided on a fisherman and now I'm part of the costume. I have on my hook so that's kind of fun."

Klum showed off her spooky zombie costume via Instagram. "Until death do us part @tomkaulitz #heidihalloween2021," she captioned a photo of herself lying on top of tombstones that read, "Heidi Klum Halloween meant her doom," and "Tom Kaulitz RIP."

On October 29, she revealed her deliciously disgusting costume in a Heidi Does Halloween II: Klum's Day , a short film that she made with her kids. "Normally I'd be hosting my annual Halloween party on Sunday night ... but this year things are still looking a little different," she captioned the clip.

The sequel to last year's costume has the Making It host returning for revenge and losing a few body parts in the process. Word to the wise: don't eat the lasagna.

Klum made a short horror film in lieu of her annual Halloween party due to the coronavirus pandemic. In the clip, the America's Got Talent judge transforms into a wall and bedsheet to hide from her children, who have turned into zombie mummies.

For her 2019 party, Klum dressed like an alien — with muscles, intestines, brain and metallic skeleton exposed — while her husband, Tom Kaulitz , donned a bloodied astronaut costume. The model got into character in front of a live audience at an Amazon bookstore in New York City on October 31, and she also shared clips of her preparations on Instagram .

She's a believer! Klum and her then-boyfriend, Tom Kaulitz, went as Fiona and Shrek from the movie franchise in 2018. "I love Halloween. I love dressing up. I love inspiring people," she told Us . "We both love green."

The model dressed up as Michael Jackson from his "Thriller" music video for her 18th annual holiday bash in NYC. "It's such a scary video. I think it also changed so much in our history, really - music videos as a whole," she told Us Weekly at the time. "He made it into this whole kind of film. I think he changed a lot by doing that. It was super scary and super elaborate. He went through all that stuff, too, doing this [points to hair and makeup]. I thought it would be a fun idea to copy that."
