Heidi Klum's severed hand costume featured replicas of her veins and wedding ring

Heidi Klum's latest Halloween transformation has left fans stunned, with the supermodel emerging as a grotesque severed hand complete with her own wedding ring. According to the Daily Mail ^[1], the 53-year-old told Entertainment Tonight that the costume featured exact replicas of her hand tattoo, jewelry, and even her veins. The look was unveiled at her iconic New York City party, where she was flanked by an entourage in yellow hazmat suits.

The costume featured long red claws and bloody veins bursting from a severed wrist, with Klum's face buried inside the wound. As reported by the Daily Mail ^[1], Klum explained that her thumb ring, which she has worn for 20 years, was included in the design. "I've been wearing this thumb ring, I want to say for about 20 years," she said. "I never really take it off, I always have it on, it kind of grew on my thumb." The ring is her engagement ring and wedding band, belonging to her husband, Tom Kaulitz, who was unable to attend due to tour commitments.

Klum also ensured her nails were styled to perfection, opting for "red, long, vampy nails" to add to the macabre aesthetic. The model's legs were hidden within the middle and ring fingers of the giant hand, while one arm was slid into the thumb. Her children, Leni, 22, Johan, 19, and Lou, 17, joined her on the red carpet to support the wild display.

In a humorous twist, a member of Klum's entourage was seen keeping her hydrated by shooting liquid from a syringe into the gaping mouth of the costume's wound. Klum later revealed a second, equally horrific look, pairing gory face prosthetics and a blonde wig with massive, finger-like leg prosthetics. She shared the images on Instagram with the caption, "TALK TO THE HAND #HeidiHalloween 2026 HERE WE GO."

This year's costume adds to Klum's legendary Halloween repertoire, which has included transformations into Medusa, E.T., and a peacock. Her most infamous look remains the 2022 worm costume, where she slithered across the floor. For those who missed the unveiling, the Daily Mail ^[1] notes that Klum is known for her incredible, often shocking, annual reveals.
