—has revealed her costume. In the past, the German-American supermodel has transformed herself into Jessica Rabbit, Shrek’s Fiona, and an elderly version of herself. There’s simply no concept that’s too theatrical or outlandish for her to pull off for her annual party.

This year, she surprised and delighted her fans by becoming a worm.Although Klum hasn’t been able to host her usual star-studded Halloween bashes for the past two years due to COVID, she finally got to throw a soirée last night in New York at Sake No Hana, a new Japanese restaurant located at the Moxy NYC Lower East Side hotel. Fully encased in her costume, she wriggled onto the red carpet and even gave an interview while lying down on the floor (photos have on social media). “I was so excited that I got to throw a party again,” says Klum.

“I wanted this year’s party to be better than ever—and that means my costume needed to be more magical than in the year’s past.” Klum said it took her two years of brainstorming to come up with the worm concept. “I like to do something unexpected, so I tried to think of a costume that is super absurd, but also very familiar,” says Klum. “Because it is Halloween, you need the creepy factor—also a bit gross and disgusting.” She, of course, needed a team of talented special effects people to make her creepy-crawly vision come to life, so she worked with makeup artist Mike Marino and his team at Prosthetic Renaissance.
