Supermodel and TV host Heidi Klum once again lived up to her title as the Queen of Halloween, transforming herself into Medusa, the legendary serpent-haired figure from Greek mythology, for her annual Halloween bash in New York City. The event, hosted at the Hard Rock Hotel, drew celebrities, influencers, and fans eager to see what Klum would unveil this year after teasing an “ugly but recognizable” look.
The costume did not disappoint. Complete with glittering green scales, golden armor, and an elaborate snake headdress, Klum’s ensemble was both terrifying and mesmerizing — capturing the mythical power of the woman said to turn onlookers to stone with a single gaze.
Tom Kaulitz Joins the Myth
Heidi Klum’s husband, Tom Kaulitz, embraced the theme fully — playing the perfect victim to Medusa’s curse. Appearing “turned to stone,” his costume featured a lifelike stone-gray body paint and sculpted detailing, making the pair a striking sight on the red carpet. The couple’s playful dynamic added humor to the mythological setup, with Klum posing dramatically as Kaulitz stood frozen beside her.
Fans on social media were quick to applaud the creativity, calling the duo’s look “Hollywood Halloween perfection.” The transformation was reportedly weeks in the making, with Klum working closely with a team of makeup artists and designers to bring the ancient legend to life.
Heidi Klum’s Halloween Legacy Lives On
Each year, Heidi Klum’s Halloween costume becomes a headline event in itself — and 2025 was no exception. From her past transformations as an earthworm, alien, and Jessica Rabbit, to this year’s serpentine Medusa, Klum continues to redefine celebrity Halloween standards. “I love the art of transformation,” she told reporters at the event. “It’s about committing to the fantasy — and this year, I wanted to go mythic.”
Her annual Halloween bash has become one of the most anticipated events in New York’s entertainment calendar, blending high fashion, theatrical makeup, and celebrity spectacle. Once again, Klum proved that no one does Halloween quite like she does — turning mythology into modern magic.
