Over the years, Heidi Klum has treated us to an array of Halloween costumes, from a sultry Jessica Rabbit to an ageing grandmother complete with varicose veins. In the absence of her annual Halloween bash in 2021, she released a spooky seven-minute film, in which she played a starring role. And then in 2022, she dressed up as a worm.
In 2019, she presented her most terrifying costume to date: an alien science experiment gone wrong. The model documented the many hours of construction on Instagram, keeping her fans guessing before the big reveal.
In 2018, meanwhile, the mother-of-four showed off one of her most drastic looks, using prosthetics to transform herself into Fiona from Shrek. Klum pulled up to her party in an onion-shaped carriage with partner Tom Kaulitz, who was dressed as Fiona’s fictional beau. Showing their commitment to all things Halloween, the couple even had a pram filled with baby ogres in tow.
With other past costumes ranging from Lady Godiva and Betty Boop to an ape, the supermodel never fails to keep us on our toes at the spookiest time of the year. In homage to the undeniable queen of Halloween – and as we wait to see what she’s got up her sleeve for Halloween 2023 – Vogue has pulled together Klum’s best Halloween looks, as a reminder of how she earned the title.

2021 In 2022, the model posted a picture of her splayed across gravestones emblazoned with her and her husband’s names, captioned: “Until death do us part.” In case that wasn’t enough, she also shared a haunting short film.
