There’s one Halloween. One costume. And one and only Heidi Klum. Add those three and you get the legend that re-writes the rules in the Halloween transformations department. I mean, while you and I dress like black-robed witches at max, the queen pulls everything from Princess Fiona, the monster from Alien, an ape, and 95-year-old… herself.
No wonder Heidi’s yearly Halloween costume reveals have become some of the most anticipated entertainment since she first pulled the goth Pippi Longstocking back in 2000. It all snowballed into the German supermodel becoming the symbol of the ghoulish holiday. “I don’t want to let my Halloween fans down because there are so many people who love creativity as much as I do and are jonesing to see what I do,” she told the press.
This year, Heidi’s costume is as crazy as 2020 itself.

When Heidi Klum first held her now-iconic Halloween party in 2000, she never imagined that her fete would be the most awaited event in New York nearly two decades later.
Heidi, who has been crowned as the Queen of Halloween, told the Hollywood Reporter that “the costumes get bigger and better every year.” This is due to the fact that she is strict on her no costume=no entry policy, which means that “guests know they won’t get in unless they bring it.”

As you may suspect, Heidi puts a lot of devotion into creating the show-stealer look for her yearly Halloween bash. In fact, she starts thinking of ideas as early as November 1st, right after the party is over. “The morning of Nov. 1, I start thinking, ‘Maybe next year, I’m going to do that one that I didn’t do this year.’”

Throughout the year, Heidi looks for inspiration in movies, places, and things she experiences. “For example, when I was the robot in 2010, it was because I had been inspired during a trip to Disneyland. I saw the parade and saw all these people walking on stilts. I was like, ‘Ooh, I want to be on stilts!’”
Heidi took the idea of walking on stilts further and she became a superhero robot for the next Halloween bash. It meant she had to learn to walk on stilts, but nothing is impossible to the queen of transformations.

And Heidi has been keeping the costume bar high since 2011 when she employed a team of professionals to help her out with creating the intricate looks.
One of them is Mike Marino, Prosthetic Renaissance founder, who worked on cult films such as 2001’s Planet of the Apes and 2010’s Black Swan. Marino used his skills in prosthetics to create Heidi’s 2011 gorilla and 2015 Jessica Rabbit costumes.

The most important thing for Heidi is that people go full-on into their transformations. “I love it when people are unrecognizable. I love it when people don’t go halfway.” That means that every little detail is important, and there should be no room for error.
In that sense, Heidi has established a new kind of Halloween game that’s really not about dressing up, but about becoming your very own character.
