Heidi Klum is two days away from her 25th Halloween reveal, and every hint so far looks like the inside of a body. On Thursday, Oct. 29, Pop Base rounded up the teasers she has been posting on Instagram since Oct. 24, and the post passed 260,000 views within its first hour (Pop Base on X). The close-ups show glossy, organ-like prosthetics, a cracked blue egg, a creature with an open mouth and a metal backpack frame with straps, and the full look arrives at her New York party on Oct. 31.

Every hint so far
The first teaser went up on Oct. 24: “What’s my costume? One week to go…. #HeidiHalloween.” It showed a gel-covered mix of pink, brain-like folds and yellowish craters (Today, E! News). On Tuesday, Oct. 27, she posted more prosthetics with “4 more days”, and on Wednesday a video of pieces that look like fungus, captioned “Have u figured it out yet?? Only time will tell 🤫 3 more days…” (Yahoo).
Back in September she told People the look would be “very, very bloody” and that it “goes very well with red wine” (People). “That’s what Halloween is all about,” she added. “We go gory, and we go there” (E! News). Her longtime special effects makeup artist, Mike Marino, told NBC’s Hollywood ReelTime it is “one of the most elaborate costumes ever made” and “so difficult to do” (Yahoo, Vanity Fair).
What fans think she’ll be
The comment sections are full of guesses. The most popular is Monstro Elisasue, the creature from The Substance. Others say a Clicker from The Last of Us, Vecna from Stranger Things, a Resident Evil monster, Ursula from The Little Mermaid or simply “a coral reef” (Vanity Fair, Yahoo). “Internal organs?” one commenter asked; another wrote, “Looks like the inside of a stomach.”
The Queen of Halloween’s track record
Klum, 53, threw her first Halloween party in 2000 because she thought other parties were “so lame” (Yahoo). Her greatest hits include E.T., a giant peacock, a worm, a skin-baring zombie creature and Fiona from Shrek. Last year she came as Medusa, with a scaled body, a tail and a head of snakes, and her husband Tom Kaulitz usually joins in. She doesn’t care about looking sexy on Halloween and prefers the opposite direction (Yahoo), which is funny coming from a former Victoria’s Secret Angel.
Photos: the teasers and Heidi’s October looks
Heidi before the prosthetics
The woman who disappears under latex every Oct. 31 built her name on showing skin. Three clips from her hub:
Before the gore, there were wings. Heidi Klum walks the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2008 runway in a red jewelled bra and panties and giant sparkling pink wings, under crystal chandeliers and over a carpet of rose petals. Pure Angel glamour, no nudity, and a reminder she has always loved a costume.
The shoot that made her a legend. In Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2000 Heidi Klum crawls across the white sand in a bikini with a huge python wrapped around her, lies out on a wooden deck for the crew, then poses topless. Almost three minutes of peak Heidi.
Heidi Klum can handle heat. On Hot Ones (2024) she takes on the wings in a red bra, fanning her mouth and dabbing tears with a napkin while chatting with host Sean Evans. Funny, sweaty and a lot sexier than any prosthetic she’ll wear on Saturday.
