‘I’m going to be super ugly’: Heidi Klum shows behind the scenes of her next costume
Heidi Klum is ready to rock again. The undisputed queen of Halloween recently shared the very first images of her 2025 costume on Instagram.
A pleasure to transform – without filter
The photos show a facial cast attached to a metal plate, accompanied by a cryptic message: “This is just the beginning 🎃👻🕷️” . Far from the usual glamour, the German-American model, presenter and actress sets the tone: this year again, she wants to be “super ugly” and “really terrifying” for Halloween.
Interviewed this summer on the Jimmy Fallon show, Heidi Klum already confided: “I’ve been working on it for months.” And added, hilariously: “This year, I’m going to be extra ugly.” A statement that says a lot about her uninhibited relationship with image. For several years, she has been pushing the boundaries with her creative looks: giant earthworm, giant peacock, AND larger than life… For her, Halloween is not a beauty contest, but a celebration of freedom of expression through the body – even made-up, even unrecognizable.
Metamorphosis as a liberating act
In a world where women’s appearance is constantly scrutinized, Heidi Klum takes the opposite approach with humor. Voluntarily distorting oneself, daring to be ugly, monstrous, and bizarre, is a way of asserting: “My body belongs to me, I play with it as I please.” A resolutely body-positive message, which reminds us that style, age, or gender do not dictate what we are allowed to embody – especially not on Halloween.
With this new transformation, Heidi Klum confirms once again that Halloween is much more than a celebration for her: it’s a platform for artistic expression, a space of freedom where the grotesque becomes a celebration and the body a true medium. This year again, the queen of Halloween reminds us that audacity and humor are the most beautiful costumes we can wear.
