Heidi Klum's Halloween Costumes: How to Recreate Her Most Iconic Looks for 2026
The queen of Halloween has teased a costume she says will be "very, very bloody."
Mark
So what has actually been announced about this year's costume?
Mimi
Very little, and that's part of the appeal. Klum posted a close-up of what looks like prosthetic organs and said the costume will be very, very bloody.
Luke
Worth noting that "appears to be" is the article's own hedge. Nobody has confirmed what the photo shows.
Mark
And when do we find out?
Mimi
At her Heidiween party in New York on Saturday, Oct. 31, which is Halloween itself.
Mark
Why does she get called the queen of Halloween?
Mimi
Because of the run of costumes. The article lists a giant worm, Medusa, E.T., a peacock, Jessica Rabbit, and an elderly woman among others, going back to 2013.
Luke
That title is the newspaper's framing, though. The piece doesn't cite a ranking or any measure behind it.
Mark
Is this really news, then?
Mimi
It's mostly a shopping guide with links to buy similar costumes. The news is the teaser and the party date.
Luke
Right, and there's no independent reporting on the costume itself. The trend claims, like KPop Demon Hunters leading, aren't attributed to any survey or sales data either.
Mark
So the thing to watch is the reveal.
Mimi
Yes. Oct. 31 will settle what the organs mean.

Every autumn the human appetite for pretending to be someone else returns, and this year it arrives wearing prosthetic organs. Heidi Klum, at fifty-three long established as the season's most inventive masquerader, has teased a costume that she promises will be "very, very bloody," with its full unveiling set for her Heidiween party in New York on Halloween night. A shopping feature in the Akron Beacon Journal uses the moment to gather her past transformations, from creatures that erase her face to familiar characters, and offers readers a way to borrow the spirit of them without a Hollywood budget. What remains unsaid is the one thing the moment hinges on: what she has chosen to become.
Heidi Klum has posted a close-up of what appears to be a set of prosthetic organs on Instagram, and with it she has begun the countdown to her 2026 Halloween costume. She warned fans the look will be "very, very bloody," and the full reveal waits for her annual Heidiween party in New York on Saturday, Oct. 31.
At fifty-three, Klum has become something of a fixture of the season. The Akron Beacon Journal calls her the queen of Halloween, a title it credits to her elaborate, often unrecognizable transformations, which range from creature makeovers to instantly recognizable pop culture figures.
The article is largely a shopping guide. It recalls her best-known costumes, from the snake-crowned Medusa of 2025 to the 2013 elderly woman, and links readers to outfits that echo them, on the idea that anyone can borrow the spirit of a look without a special effects team. It also surveys the wider season, where characters from "KPop Demon Hunters," "Toy Story 5" and "Spider-Man" are among the favorites.
Beyond the Instagram teaser and the party date, the piece offers little new reporting. It does not reveal what the organs belong to or which character Klum intends to become. Those answers wait for New York on Halloween.
Heidi Klum has posted a close-up photo on Instagram of what appears to be a set of prosthetic organs, and with that the supermodel has started the countdown to her 2026 Halloween costume. She also told fans the look will be "very, very bloody" this year. The full reveal is planned for her annual "Heidiween" party in New York on Saturday, Oct. 31, which is also Halloween itself.
Klum is 53, and her costumes have made her a fixture of the season. The Akron Beacon Journal's shopping feature calls her the queen of Halloween, a title it says she has earned through elaborate, over-the-top transformations every year. It points to two kinds of looks: creature makeovers that change her almost beyond recognition, and instantly recognizable pop culture characters.
The piece is mostly a shopping guide. It pairs a list of her best-known costumes with links to buy similar outfits, on the premise that nobody needs a Hollywood budget or a team of special effects artists to borrow the idea. It offers the list as a source for either a show-stopping costume or an easy last-minute one.
The list runs in this order. Medusa, from 2025, is a dramatic gown with a snake-covered headpiece. Princess Fiona, paired with Shrek, dates to 2018. The giant worm is from 2022. Jessica Rabbit, in the red dress and statement gloves, goes back to 2015. E.T. came in 2024. The peacock, which the guide describes as viral, was 2023. The werewolf from Michael Jackson's "Thriller" was 2017, and the elderly woman, which the article calls one of her most surprising transformations, was 2013.
The article also looks at what the rest of the country may be wearing this year. It says Halloween 2026 leans on pop culture, nostalgic favorites and creative character looks. One of the biggest trends it names is "KPop Demon Hunters," with fans dressing as Rumi, Mira and Zoey from HUNTR/X, or as Derpy Tiger. It also lists characters from "Toy Story 5," "Spider-Man" and "The Odyssey" as popular ideas.
There is little reporting here beyond the Instagram teaser and the date of the party. The piece does not say what the organs belong to, or what character or creature Klum is planning. Those answers are expected on Oct. 31 in New York, when she unveils the finished look.
