Heidi Klum underwent a bloody transformation to become a giant, gruesome severed hand for her annual Halloween party in New York on Saturday.

German-American model Klum, famed for her extravagant Halloween costumes, looked unrecognisable as she transformed into a severed human hand.

The star shared several photos posed up as the bloodied limb, accompanied by a series of hand-based puns, ahead of the party, 25 years after she began hosting the event.

Zendaya, Cara Delevingne, Kourtney Kardashian, Neil Patrick Harris and his husband David Burtka were among other celebrities getting in the Halloween spirit over the weekend.

Harris and Burtka were dressed as the twins from The Shining.

Actress Zendaya wowed as she dressed as Halle Berry, recreating the star’s look from the New York premiere of X-Men in 2000.

The Spider-Man actress wore a patterned bikini top with matching low-rise trousers to replicate Berry’s famous outfit.

Model Delevingne paid tribute to the late actor Tim Curry, who died aged 80 in August, by dressing as Dr Frank ‘N’ Furter, his character from The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

“Tim Curry forever,” she wrote in the caption.

Reality TV star Kardashian and her husband, musician Travis Barker, transformed into the notorious couple from 1983 cult classic Scarface.

The pair channelled Tony Montana and Elvira Hancock in a themed photoshoot, wearing wigs and posed up alongside a vintage convertible car.

Elsewhere, CMAT shared a video of her transformation into Elton John, wearing a fluffy white outfit, a receding blonde wig, a gold tooth and the singer’s signature tinted sunglasses.
