Heidi Klum is ringing in spooky season!
The Project Runway host, 52, celebrated the kickoff to her favorite holiday and the beginning of October with teasers for her upcoming Halloween costume.
On Wednesday, Oct. 1, the supermodel shared three photos of what appeared to be a 3D model in the works. “This is just the beginning,” she captioned the post.
Klum tagged prosthetic makeup artist Mike Marino, whose Instagram page is filled with work he’s done on Colin Farrell for The Penguin, Sebastian Stan for A Different Man, as well as Klum’s 2024 E.T. costume.
Over the past 24 years, her résumé of looks have included everything from Zombie Doll (2000) to a cadaver (2011) to an apple covering her pregnant belly to a peacock, which not only involved a dramatic transformation on Klum’s part, but also a surprise performance pulled off with the help of acrobats.
Klum’s husband, Tom Kaulitz, began getting in on the fun even before the two tied the knot in 2019. The year prior, Kaulitz, 36, then the star’s boyfriend, was the Shrek to Klum’s Fiona in coordinating outfits inspired by the Shrek franchise. Things took a more gruesome turn when the pair decided on a couples’ costume that saw Kaulitz as a blood-covered astronaut and Klum as an alien.
In 2022, the year Klum’s daughter, Leni, made her debut at the party, the pair switched tunes but went just as macabre with Klum as a worm and Kaulitz as a bloody-eyed fisherman. The designs took 10 hours to execute.

Speaking with PEOPLE in 2024, Klum says her Halloween costumes, which take months of preparation, are not only for her enjoyment but also for the fans.
“I have a lot of creative people around the world that are fans, that are artists — makeup artists, hairdressers, designers or people who maybe are not even in the field — and they love the creativity of Halloween,” she said.
“So I don’t want to ever let any of my Halloween fans down,” she continued. “I always really try to come up with something that is unique and different and either surprises people or shocks people.”
In another interview, Klum shared insight on how much work goes into creating her masterpieces.
“There goes a lot into it because I wanted to be so spectacular that this is not something I can just throw together overnight,” Klum said. “It takes a long time. It takes a lot of planning. And also then when I do the reveal, I want to have a special reveal because I know I have so many fans and those particular Halloween fans are people who love also dressing up and coming up with amazing things.”
