Heidi Klum’s reign as Halloween royalty shows no signs of slowing down. With just under three months until her legendary Halloween party, the supermodel teased a chilling new look during her appearance on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.'

“I’m hard at work already,” Klum, 52, revealed. “Like, already months ago.” The annual party is on, and she's not holding back. This year’s costume comes with an unusual twist, it’s going to be, as she put it, “extra ugly” and “super scary.”

The countdown to her next transformation is officially on. “86 days,” she said with excitement. Despite Fallon’s best efforts, the model kept the details of her costume under wraps. When asked if her husband, Tom Kaulitz, would be joining her in another couple’s costume this year, she said, “Let’s not ruin it."

He continued, “Hopefully you come on before then just so you can give us a little hint or come on after and show us," to which she responded, “I’ll give you another hint later.”

Heidi has hosted her Halloween party since 2000, and over time, her costumes have gone from playful to extravagant. That first year, she dressed in a patent leather dirndl, joking with Fallon, “Well, this is boring... I thought that was cute.” At the time, she had no glam squad, just her own hands and some eyeliner.

Fast forward 25 years, and she now collaborates with top special effects artists like Mike Morano to bring her elaborate visions to life. “Over the years, I’ve met amazing people, and they help me now,” she said. Prosthetics, towering headpieces, and full-body transformations are now standard.

In 2024, she and Kaulitz stunned fans dressed as E.T., complete with oversized alien heads and only their eyes visible through the necks. “It was so heavy holding that head on my head,” she recalled. “I thought my neck was going to snap off.” The look was inspired by the 1982 film E.T.

2022 saw her crawling into Halloween history with a full-body worm suit, while in 2023, she arrived as a peacock with a costume so large it required Cirque du Soleil dancers to complete the illusion.
