Heidi Klum hosted her 25th Annual Halloween Party on October 31, 2026, at Cathédrale in New York City, presented by Apothic and Butterfinger — and she arrived as a giant severed hand, her most prosthetic-heavy transformation yet.
The costume was an enormous prosthetic replica of her own left hand, complete with red-painted fingernails, rings, and visible veins and tendons. Klum’s face stayed concealed inside the structure, while bloodied assistants accompanied her arrival, adding to the spectacle.
Klum has spent decades as the celebrity benchmark for Halloween transformation. Past icons include Medusa, a worm, E.T. and a peacock — each year raising the bar on full-body prosthetic commitment.
Guests at this year’s edition included Jade Thirlwall, who came as an angel statue, and KATSEYE in coordinated superhero group costumes as Harley Quinn, Catwoman, Wonder Woman and Poison Ivy — the group performed in Montreal the same night.
The wider 2026 celebrity costume field, rounded up by W Magazine and NME on October 31, also featured Zendaya channeling Halle Berry’s 2000 X-Men premiere look, Kendall Jenner as Jane Henderson, Paris Hilton as Belle and as Britney Spears at the 2001 VMAs, and Janelle Monáe’s signature prosthetics creatures. But the night, as ever, belonged to the Heidi Klum Halloween party host herself.
