Heidi Klum has revealed two clues about her next Halloween costume, suggesting her 2026 transformation could be one of her bloodiest yet. The Heidi Klum Teases ‘Very, Very Bloody’ Halloween Costume Ahead Of Annual Party first appeared on The Blast

Heidi Klum has revealed two unsettling clues about her next Halloween costume, suggesting her 2026 transformation could be one of her bloodiest yet. The supermodel has not disclosed the character or concept behind the look. However, she confirmed that it will involve plenty of blood and pair surprisingly well with red wine. The hints come after Klum transformed herself into an elaborate version of Medusa for her annual New York City Halloween party last year.

Heidi Klum Drops Bloody Clue About 2026 Costume

Klum offered a cryptic preview of her costume during an interview with PEOPLE. “It goes very well with red wine,” the 53-year-old model said of the upcoming look. “It’s very, very bloody.”

Klum did not explain whether the blood will be connected to a recognizable character, a horror movie, or an original creation.

The red wine clue also arrived as part of Klum’s partnership with Apothic Wine, which is promoting limited-edition Type “A” Blood Bags ahead of Halloween. That connection means the wine reference may be part of the campaign rather than a literal hint about the costume’s identity.

Still, the promise of a bloody transformation indicates that Klum is once again moving toward a dramatic full-body look instead of a traditional celebrity costume.

The Model Became Medusa For Halloween 2025

Klum transformed into Medusa for her 24th annual Halloween party in New York City in 2025. Her husband, Tom Kaulitz, joined the concept by appearing as a man who had been turned to stone by Medusa’s stare. Klum wore green scales, prosthetic fangs, colored contact lenses, and a snake-covered headpiece. A long, curved tail followed behind her as she made her way down the carpet.

Vogue reported that the transformation took six months and a team of more than 15 people. Special effects artist Mike Marino helped bring the character to life with mechanical snakes and hand-painted details.

Klum documented part of the lengthy process on Instagram, giving fans a closer look at the makeup, prosthetics, and contact lenses that made her nearly unrecognizable.

• Klum has built a reputation for elaborate transformations throughout her long history of unforgettable Halloween costumes.
• Heidi Klum recalled being dropped by a client during her pregnancy because the company no longer considered her “sexy.”

Heidi Klum’s Giant Worm Became An Internet Sensation

Although Klum has delivered several memorable Halloween transformations, her 2022 worm remains one of her most recognizable. The model arrived inside an enormous, textured worm costume that concealed almost her entire body. She spent part of the evening wriggling on the floor because the design left her with extremely limited movement.

Klum again worked with Marino and his company, Prosthetic Renaissance, on the elaborate costume. The design immediately went viral and generated countless memes across social media.

The final result was memorable, but Klum later admitted that wearing it was physically challenging. “I was so claustrophobic in that costume,” Klum told The Hollywood Reporter. “But Halloween is not about comfort.”

The costume restricted her arms and legs, leaving her largely dependent on her team throughout the evening.

The Supermodel Had To Stop Drinking Hours Before The Party

The worm costume also created a practical problem because Klum could not easily remove it once the transformation was complete. “I made sure not to drink anything hours before getting into costume as I knew that there was no way to get in and out of it,” she said at the time.

Despite the discomfort, Klum considered the reaction to the costume worth the effort. “For me, Halloween is all about transforming and being creative,” she said. “I am happy that people are appreciating the creativity and effort to create this as well as all the other costumes I did in the past. I couldn’t have done it without my team.”

Klum has since continued working with makeup artists, designers, and special effects professionals to make each year’s concept more technically ambitious.

Heidi Klum Has Built A History Of Elaborate Transformations

Klum’s Halloween archive includes transformations into E.T., a peacock, an alien, and Princess Fiona from “Shrek.”

Her 2023 peacock costume relied on a group of Cirque du Soleil performers to create the bird’s enormous feathers, turning the look into a coordinated performance rather than a traditional outfit.

In 2024, Klum and Kaulitz appeared as different versions of E.T. Their costumes featured oversized heads, glowing features, and motorized elements inspired by Steven Spielberg’s 1982 movie.

Her 2026 Costume Remains A Mystery

Klum has not yet confirmed whether Marino or her previous special effects team will help create her 2026 look. She also has not revealed how long the costume has been in development or whether Kaulitz will participate in a matching concept.

However, history suggests the transformation will require far more than fake blood and makeup. Klum has repeatedly used prosthetics, mechanical features, and full-body disguises to prevent fans from recognizing her until the reveal.
