Many celebrities take Halloween pretty seriously, but no one compares to Heidi Klum. We can count on the famous supermodel to push boundaries and go all in with each of her Halloween costumes, and she recently opened up about what goes on behind the scenes.

Klum discussed her creative process in a recent interview with People and revealed that she enjoys working with makeup artists, hairdressers, designers, and other artists who love the creativity of Halloween. It can take months for her costumes to come together, but she wouldn’t have it any other way. 

“I don’t want to ever let any of my Halloween fans down. I always really try to come up with something that is unique and different and either surprises people or shocks people… There goes a lot into it because I wanted to be so spectacular that this is not something I can just throw together overnight,” she told People.

Klum became a viral sensation when she dressed up as a giant worm in 2022, but this wasn’t her only costume to knock us off our feet. She appeared as a giant peacock at her annual Halloween party last year, and the list of her memorable costumes also included everything from zombies and butterflies to Jessica Rabbit and Fiona from Shrek.
