Heidi Klum has reclaimed her crown as the Queen of Halloween, and this year’s look might just be the most jaw-dropping yet. The supermodel, 52, sent fans and celebrities into a spin when she rocked up to her 25th annual Halloween bash in New York City dressed as the mythological Medusa, complete with a moving snake headpiece and a dramatic scaly tail.
Her grand entrance instantly broke the internet, and people across social media platforms labeled it “the most insane transformation of 2025.” Red carpet photos and videos show Heidi slithering toward photographers, hissing playfully while her husband, musician Tom Kaulitz, stood beside her-a Greek soldier turned to stone, a nod to the Medusa legend that whoever looks upon her turns to stone.
“Don’t stare too long or you’ll turn to stone,” Heidi joked in her caption on Instagram, showing off the serpentine creation that reportedly took hours of preparation and intricate prosthetic work to complete.
This year, the costume, designed by Oscar-nominated makeup artist Mike Marino, included dozens of realistic snakes that appeared to slither across her head as she posed for photos, leaving both the guests at the party and viewers online in awe. “She doesn’t just wear a costume – she becomes it,” one fan wrote. “We’re not even competing anymore. Halloween belongs to Heidi,” another joked.
The event also marked 25 years since she first threw her iconic Halloween party, now one of the most highly-anticipated celebrity events of the year. Over the decades, Heidi has transformed into everything from an old lady to an alien, a worm, and even Fiona from Shrek, but this year’s mythological twist has already been hailed as one of her greatest creations yet.
After 25 years of unforgettable Halloween looks, Heidi Klum proves that no one — absolutely no one — does spooky season like her.
