All of Heidi Klum’s iconic Halloween costumes, ranked

Dressing up as Cleopatra, though it’s extremely common, also falls into some morally gray territory. Besides that, it’s not a particularly interesting costume, apart from the giant headpiece, so perhaps it’s for the best she canceled the party.

There’s nothing particularly notable about this couple’s costume, which is why it earns this low spot. We also don’t really know why Seal is wearing a sunflower lapel pin or yellow gloves.

This costume is simple but effective. The black wig and red lip are a big enough departure from Klum’s ultra-recognizable look that even if she hadn’t worn the leather ensemble, she still would’ve been incognito.

Again, we’re not totally sure what Klum is supposed to be, but the giant red wig is iconic.

Klum mainly relies on full-body prosthetics now, but her 2002 Betty Boop costume proves that with the right wig, make-up, and red dress (and a potential butt prosthetic), you can still completely transform yourself.

Klum looked like she stepped right out of “Bodies: The Exhibition” for her 2011 party. It looks like it took hours in the makeup chair to paint her entire head red.

There’s so much happening here, we don’t know where to start. The cut-open stomach with guts spilling out? The wires coming out of her nipples? The exposed brain?

This no doubt took time, planning, and the effort of very talented artists, but since we can’t quite tell what she is, the 2019 costume lands in the middle of the pack.

The prosthetic work here is truly impressive and looks real, from the wrinkly neck to the veiny legs. It might not be the most glamorous or sexy costume, but she really took an easy costume to a whole new level.

These two wouldn’t have been out of place on the set of “Planet of the Apes” in these Hollywood-grade prosthetics and costumes.

While animals may be low-hanging fruit in terms of Halloween costumes, monkeys are frequently done, but rarely this well. We commend Klum, Seal, and their team of artists who put this look together.

You can see how time-consuming this process was on her Instagram — basically, every feature is prosthetic, from nose to feet.

Klum’s peacock costume took more than 1,963 hours to create. It consisted of a blue velvet bodysuit that covered her entirely, plus a feather-covered mask with a realistic-looking beak. When she entered the party, she changed into another peacock bodysuit with sheer cutouts and large feather wings.

Klum partnered with Cirque du Soleil and makeup artist Bill Corso to create the look, and she was accompanied by an entourage of 10 Cirque du Soleil acrobats who created the illusion of the model’s wings on the orange carpet. 

Her husband, Tom Kaulitz, also joined the group costume by dressing as a giant peacock egg.

What can we say? This is Klum’s best costume — you can barely even see her unless you take a close look at its neck.

Both Klum and her husband dressed as ET from “ET the Extra-Terrestrial,” the 1982 classic directed by Steven Spielberg. Kaulitz, on the left, is a more classic ET, while Klum’s costume pays homage to a scene in the film where Gertie (played by an adorable Drew Barrymore) helps ET dress up.

Klum spoke with The New York Times about what it was like to wear this costume. The head weighed 5 pounds, and it was so difficult to get in and out of the costume that she chose to wear an adult diaper.

The animatronic was remote controlled by someone on her team.

Her longtime collaborator, Mike Marino, called the costume “the most complicated” one they’ve ever created. “Her whole face and body are glued on. And it takes, really, months to build and design,” he said.
