Heidi Klum's Medusa Costume for Halloween 2025 Is Her Most Skin-Crawling Look Yet

Heidi Klum debuted her much anticipated 2025 Halloween costume at her annual Halloween bash in New York City on Oct. 31.

Heidi Klum revealed her 2025 costume at her annual Halloween party, proving once again why her look is one of the most anticipated of the spooky season, dressing up as mythical character Medusa for the Oct. 31 bash.

The Project Runway host debuted the look at her 24th Annual Halloween Party presented by Butterfinger at Hard Rock Hotel New York and was joined on the red carpet by husband Tom Kaulitz, who was the Greek hero who beheads Medusa, Perseus. 

Heidi gave fans a peek at her costume a few weeks before the big event, sharing a prosthetic of her bust to Instagram Oct. 17, as well as fabric swatches and tagging the makeup team she’s been working with. And hours before her big reveal, she shared a teaser of her applying her green makeup and bald cap for the getup. 

As the 52-year-old—who is mom to Leni, 21, Henry, 20, Johan, 18, and Lou, 16, with ex-husband Seal—has previously explained, it takes quite a while to get her costume just right.

“It took one year to get ready,” she shared with E! News about the E.T. costume she donned at her 2024 bash. “We started at 10 a.m. this morning. We just got ready, we just came down.” 

Tom—who also dressed up as E.T that year.—added, “It took a whole team of amazing people. And lots of planning.”

Through the years Heidi has dressed up in a wide array of incredible costumes, like Jessica Rabbit from Who Framed Roger Rabbit? in 2016, the werewolf from Michael Jackson's "Thriller" music video in 2017 and Fiona from Shrek in 2018. And Halloween is one holiday that she is excited about all year long—especially as she gets to celebrate with her own party.

"When I moved to America, I immediately fell in love with Halloween and the spookiness of it,” she gushed to The Hollywood Reporter in 2018. “All that was missing was a fantastic party. It felt like a real opportunity for me."

And the model had a very specific reason as to why she’s opted for some over-the-top looks, noting that if she wears “elaborate outfits,” it would be a sign for her guests to follow suit.
