Heidi Klum Teases 2026 Costume as 2025 Medusa Look Tops Celebrity Couples' Halloween Picks

Q: What is Heidi Klum’s “very, very bloody” 2026 Halloween costume—and can it outdo her Medusa and E.T. transformations with Tom Kaulitz?

Heidi Klum’s exact 2026 Halloween costume has not been publicly revealed yet, so any answer beyond that is speculation. What is confirmed is that Klum herself has described it as “very, very bloody,” and her teaser images show elaborate prosthetics that fans say resemble coral, organs, tissue or body-horror effects. The strongest reporting points to a grotesque, effects-heavy transformation rather than a glamorous or “sexy” look. Klum has said she prefers going “gory,” and longtime collaborator Mike Marino called this year’s creation one of the most elaborate costumes they have made. Social media guesses have ranged from a creature inspired by *The Substance* to a *The Last of Us*-style monster or some kind of underwater/body-horror hybrid, but none of that has been confirmed. Whether it can top her recent couples costumes with Tom Kaulitz will depend on the final reveal at her New York Halloween party. Her 2025 Medusa look set a very high bar: a full green prosthetic bodysuit, tail, fake teeth and moving snakes, with Kaulitz as the warrior she had turned to stone. Their 2024 E.T. concept was also a standout because it was instantly recognizable and unusually clever, with Klum as E.T. in disguise and Kaulitz as the classic alien. Based on the clues so far, the 2026 costume appears likely to compete on shock value and technical complexity. But until Klum unveils it, there is no verified evidence that it has outdone Medusa or E.T.

Heidi Klum said she is keeping her 2026 Halloween costume secret, extending a yearly reveal that has made her and husband Tom Kaulitz a red-carpet fixture.
2025 set the latest benchmark: Klum arrived as Medusa in a full green prosthetic bodysuit with moving snakes, while Kaulitz played a warrior turned to stone.
Klum said she avoids previewing the look because she wants fans' first reaction on the carpet, a strategy she also used for the couple's 2024 E.T.-themed costumes.
The retrospective also highlighted other celebrity pairings, including Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's 2024 Alice in Wonderland costumes and Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr.'s movie-inspired looks from 2019 and 2021.
