Model Heidi Klum attended her annual Halloween party dressed as a giant severed hand based on her own hand, complete with rings and nail polish.

Heidi Klum attended her annual Halloween party in New York dressed as a giant severed hand, continuing her tradition of elaborate costumes at the 25-year-old event. She was flanked by helpers in blood-stained hazmat suits and was largely unrecognisable, with only her eyes and mouth visible. The costume featured her own left hand with long red nails, a thumb ring, her engagement ring and wedding band, and a tattoo of her husband's name on her ring finger.

Klum said the idea came to her in 2025 when she looked at her hand and thought she could fit her body inside a giant version of it. The costume was created using 3D printing technology that scanned her hand, allowing the design team to recreate every detail including palm lines and veins. According to Klum, it took about five to six hours to put on the costume on the day, though making it took considerably longer.

Klum told Good Morning America and Vogue magazine that she wanted the costume to be 'funny and bizarre' and to surprise people with something unexpected. Her husband, musician Tom Kaulitz, did not attend the party because he was on tour, but she said 'a little bit of Tom is with me' because of the tattoo. Klum has a history of striking Halloween costumes, having previously dressed as Medusa, a werewolf, a worm, and a 2.4-metre-tall Transformer.
