Heidi Klum is proving once again that she’s in a league of her own when it comes to Halloween. The 52-year-old television personality, famously dubbed the “Queen of Halloween,” has recently been teasing her 2025 costume. Moreover, she has already locked in her plan for 2026, months before this year’s big reveal.
Heidi Klum reveals why she goes all out for Halloween each year
In a recent conversation with PEOPLE while promoting her partnership with L’Oréal Paris, Heidi Klum shared that she’s relieved to have next year’s concept already mapped out. “I already know what I’m doing next year, which is such a blessing,” she said. “Sometimes the pressure’s on. I’m like, ‘I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know.’ Now I already know what to do next year. Oh, it makes that so much easier for me because I literally rack my brain.”
Klum admitted that she often feels anxious when she struggles to discover a new idea. “I have a pit in my stomach when I can’t come up with something,” she confessed. “So I’m happy that I figured all of it out for next year too.”
The “America’s Got Talent” judge has built a reputation for her elaborate, headline-grabbing transformations. Over the years, she’s appeared as everything, from an elderly woman to an alien and even a giant worm. Last year, Klum and her husband, Tom Kaulitz, both dressed as E.T. from the classic 1982 film.
She noted how E.T. has been “part of most of our lives” and “thought about the universe in a different way.” The model continued, “I thought E.T. was so cute and how he was wiggling around and all the moments when E.T. got dressed up with a wig and everything so I just thought it would be fun to become E.T. and especially to see two.”
For Klum, Halloween is more than just costumes; it’s about artistic transformation. “I never take the easy way out,” she said. “I do it for the art of it, of transformation, of surprising people also. It’s like a life performance art thing in a way because you see so much AI and things are being photographed, repatched, this, that and the other.”
