See the best celebrity costumes from Heidi Klum’s iconic 2025 Halloween party… and the scariest
It’s spooky season, and you know what that means – it’s officially time for Heidi Klum’s legendary annual Halloween party.
This year, the star-studded bash is taking place at a secret location in New York City, as the ‘Queen of Halloween’ celebrates the party’s 25th anniversary.
Klum leans all the way in on Halloween each year, always making her grand entrance in a crazy, elaborate, and creative costume.
This year, she was dressed as Medusa from Clash of the Titans, as she looked completely unrecognizable in a green, head-to-toe snakeskin look and wild headpiece with rattlesnakes coming out of her head.
Her costume has all different colors and layers of snakeskin on it, and she even had a piece in her mouth mean to look like the tongue of a rattlesnake. The outfit was complete with a long, curved tail that trailed behind her on the red carpet all night long.
In addition to Klum, a slew of stars have gathered in wild costumes and extravagant get-ups to party alongside the star.
Stars like Ice-T, Olivia Attwood, Elon Musk’s mom Maye Musk, Olympian Ilona Maher, and Tamron Hall have already descended upon the red carpet in their bizarre and outrageous looks.

Last year, Klum dressed up as E.T. with her husband Tom Kaulitz in strikingly-real costumes that left them both looking totally unrecognizable.
In 2022, the model decided to come as a worm, with only her eyes visible through the scarily realistic costume.
Her husband dressed up as a fisherman with a rod, and the model kept character all night as she slithered all over the floor to greet her guests.
Ahead of the big party tonight, Klum teased her costume in an interview with People, calling the look ‘very ugly.’
‘I’m going to be very ugly because I always try to do something different,’ she told the outlet.
