Heidi Klum has sparked speculation over her latest Halloween costume after sharing a behind-the-scenes glimpse of its creation on social media.
The supermodel, 52, posted a photo of what appeared to be a full body mould – including her back and torso.
Teasing fans with the caption: “Feeling cheeky” alongside a ghost and pumpkin emoji as well as tagging prosthetic make-up artist Mike Marino.
Klum has built a reputation for turning Halloween into a headline-grabbing spectacle, with increasingly ambitious and often grotesque costumes at her annual “Heidiween” party in New York.
Earlier this month, she gave fans an initial look at a facial prosthetic mask in progress, captioning the post: “This is just the beginning,” alongside Halloween emojis.
Klum’s costume choices have become a seasonal pop-culture moment, with previous years including a hyper-realistic earthworm, a full-body peacock created with 15 performers and Shrek and Princess Fiona.
Speaking to People, Klum said she plans to push the envelope again this year, returning to a more extreme look after last year’s sweeter costume choice, when she and husband Tom Kaulitz dressed as E.T. and Elliott.
“I’m going to be very ugly because I always try to do something different,” she said. “I thought last year, I was very cute with my husband as E.T. And the year before that, we were the big peacock with performers.
“After the worm [in 2022] that felt so simple, I wanted to make something complicated.”
She added: “And with having 15 [performers as part of the peacock costume], being so many bodies creating one thing, I thought that that was different again. So I hope I came up with something new again.”
During an appearance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon in August, Klum reflected on the E.T. costume from last year.
She shared at the time: “It was so heavy, holding that head on my head. It was literally - because it goes to the back, it goes to the front.”
Before admitting: “I thought my neck was gonna snap off.”
