Heidi Klum has sparked excitement with a provocative hint about her 2025 Halloween costume, sharing a plaster mold of her bare back and bottom on Instagram with the caption ‘Feeling cheeky.’ This tease follows her tradition of elaborate and often shocking costumes for her annual star-studded Halloween bash.
On Friday, October 24, 2025, the supermodel posted the image to her Instagram account, tagging prosthetic makeup artist Mike Marino, who has assisted with her previous costumes. The post quickly garnered attention for its risqué nature, with fans speculating about the possible character she might portray. Klum has been working with Marino on this year’s look, building on their collaboration from last year’s E.T. costume.
Earlier this month, Klum shared another cryptic hint, posting photos of a facial prosthetic in progress with the caption ‘This is just the beginning,’ accompanied by Halloween-themed emojis. She has a history of keeping her costumes under wraps until the last moment, fueling anticipation among her millions of followers. This gradual reveal strategy has become a hallmark of her Halloween preparations.
In recent interviews, Klum has revealed that this year’s costume will be ‘ugly’ and ‘super scary,’ emphasizing her desire to do something different annually. She told People magazine that she enjoys pushing boundaries, noting that after last year’s ‘cute’ E.T. outfit with her husband Tom Kaulitz, she wanted to shift to something more grotesque. Klum recalled the physical challenges of past costumes, such as the heavy headpiece from the E.T. ensemble that nearly caused neck strain.
Her Halloween parties, which began in 2000, are renowned for attracting A-list celebrities and featuring her over-the-top transformations. Past costumes include a giant worm in 2022, a peacock with multiple performers in 2023, and iconic looks like Lady Godiva, Jessica Rabbit, and Princess Fiona from Shrek. Each year, she aims to outdo herself, often incorporating complex prosthetics and choreography.
Fans have theorized that the plaster mold might reference Han Solo being frozen in carbonite from ‘Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back,’ given the similarity to the 3D mask she previously shared. However, Klum has not confirmed any details, maintaining the mystery. Speculation is rife on social media, with followers analyzing every clue for hints about the final reveal.
Beyond Halloween, Klum remains busy with her career, recently appearing at the InStyle Imagemaker Awards with her son Henry Samuel. She is a mother of four and continues to balance family life with her modeling and television work, including judging roles on shows like ‘America’s Got Talent.’ Her ability to engage audiences extends beyond Halloween, but this event remains a highlight of her public persona.
As the Halloween party approaches on October 31, 2025, anticipation builds for what promises to be another memorable and visually stunning costume from the queen of Halloween. Her commitment to innovation and surprise ensures that the tradition remains fresh and eagerly awaited each year, solidifying her status as a Halloween icon.
