Every year, Heidi Klum—the undisputed queen of Halloween—keeps spooky season fans guessing as to her next big costume reveal. In past years, she’s transformed into E.T., a peacock, a worm, and even Fiona from Shrek. So for her big New York City bash last night, Klum yet again pulled off the art of the unexpected, this time transforming herself into … a giant replica of her own hand. “I always love to do something unexpected,” Klum told Vogue, a few hours before she started this evening’s lengthy getting-ready process. “Every year, I want to surprise people and do something that they haven’t seen me—or anyone—do before. Halloween is my favorite time of year because I get to completely transform myself and become something totally different.”
So, where did Klum’s idea for the lifelike (and life-sized) appendage begin? For this Halloween, the German supermodel says she wanted to take something completely normal—and turn it into something that was anything but. “Some of the most interesting ideas come from the most ordinary things,” says Klum. “I love the idea of taking something so common, and that we see every single day, something we probably never even think twice about, and turning it into something larger than life. I thought it would be funny and bizarre to take something so familiar and twist it.”
