Heidi Klum dressed as a giant severed hand at her annual Halloween party in New York.

Heidi Klum hosted the 25th anniversary of her annual Halloween party on 31 October at Cathédrale Restaurant at Moxy East Village in New York City. The 53-year-old supermodel arrived dressed as a severed hand, describing it as her own chopped-off 'left hand' complete with a bloody wrist. The costume featured her green stone wedding ring and a finger tattoo reading 'Tom' in honour of her husband, Tom Kaulitz, who did not attend the party this year.

Klum made a dramatic entrance arriving in a truck covered in red 'DANGER' signs before being helped to the ground by actors dressed in yellow hazmat suits. She had teased the costume on Instagram starting one week before the event, sharing close-up images of prosthetics including what appeared to be decaying innards and rotting flesh. She told People that her look 'goes very well with red wine' and is 'very, very bloody', adding that 'that's what Halloween is all about. We go gory, and we go there'.

Klum has become renowned for completely unrecognisable transformations through prosthetics at her annual parties over the years. Last year she attended as Medusa while Kaulitz dressed as a concrete soldier. The event, presented by Apothic and Butterfinger, has provided viral pop culture moments throughout its history.
