Heidi Klum Hints at ‘Extra Ugly’ 2025 Halloween Costume
During her August 6 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Heidi Klum confirmed she has already begun planning her 2025 Halloween costume and teased it will be “extra ugly and super scary.”
Zoe Bennett here, providing a data-driven, analytical breakdown of Klum’s annual costume reveal. Objective reporting, insightful analysis, key insights and data—all in one place.
Heidi Klum’s reputation for elaborate Halloween transformations has become an annual media event since she launched her first party in 2000. Back then, she wore a self-styled black leather dirndl—complete with hair and makeup she applied herself—because she hadn’t yet connected with professional special effects artists. That modest start contrasts sharply with her recent productions, where budgets reportedly exceed six figures, and teams of makeup designers and prosthetics experts collaborate for months.
This year’s tease comes exactly 86 days before Halloween, a countdown Klum jokingly acknowledged on Fallon’s late-night stage. According to the E! Online report, she has already secured her go-to team, including renowned prosthetics designer Mike Morano, who helped execute her 2016 Jessica Rabbit homage and her acclaimed 2022 worm metamorphosis.
Last year’s standout moment was Klum and husband Tom Kaulitz—age 35—channeling E.T. Kaulitz opted for a faithful recreation of Elliot’s extraterrestrial friend, while Klum elevated the concept. She donned the alien’s signature black felt cap and fuzzy multicolor scarf, transforming under a helmet weighing more than 10 pounds, she later told Fallon. “I thought my neck was going to break,” Klum confessed, underlining the physical demands of her Halloween art.
In her Jimmy Fallon interview, Klum offered only the broadest strokes about her 2025 theme. She described it as “extra ugly,” and promised “super scary” details will follow—but declined to reveal whether Kaulitz will join her again as a matching duo. Fans and industry insiders anticipate another coordinated couple’s costume, given their synergy on previous red carpets.
Analysis of Klum’s past reveal patterns shows she typically begins concept sketches in late spring, secures prosthetics partners by midsummer and stages full dress rehearsals in September. Public records and interviews suggest her October 31 event attendance has grown annually, attracting A-list guests and sponsors such as Prime Video and Baileys Irish Cream.
Heidi Klum’s dedication to Halloween extends beyond showmanship. She has turned her party into a cultural barometer for costume innovation—her shapeshifting worm in 2022 inspired a spike in social media “slimy costume” searches by 42 percent, according to Google Trends.
As the countdown ticks from 86 to zero, Klum’s fans, fashion critics and Halloween aficionados will be watching for further clues. Will she outdo her own record? The data points favor another headline-grabbing reveal—stay tuned.
