Heidi Klum underwent a bloody transformation to become a giant, gruesome severed hand for her annual Halloween party in New York on Saturday, 25 years after she began hosting the much-anticipated event.<\/p>\n
Klum was unrecognisable, with only her eyes and mouth showing, blood dripping from her mouth as she stuck her tongue out.<\/p>\n
The top of the hand ended in a gory assortment of dangling ligaments and tendons. She had an ensemble of helpers in blood-stained hazmat suits.<\/p>\n
The idea came to her last year to be a giant hand, specifically her own left hand, with long red nails, a thumb ring, and her engagement ring and wedding band.<\/p>\n
\u201cI looked at my hand and I thought, \u2018Hey, I think I could fit my body in this somehow,\u2019\u201d Klum said.<\/p>\n
The supermodel-turned-TV personality went viral in 2022 when she arrived at the party on the end of a fishing line, encased in a slithering worm costume.<\/p>\n
In past years Klum has dressed as the Greek mythological character Medusa, a peacock, an 8ft Transformer toy, a werewolf from Michael Jackson\u2019s Thriller music video, a clone accompanied by several Klum-lookalikes, and Kali, the multiarmed Hindu goddess of death and destruction.<\/p>\n
Klum said it took about five to six hours to get into her hand costume this year, but making it took a lot longer.<\/p>\n
She posted hints on her Instagram earlier in the day as bloodied prosthetics were applied to her face.<\/p>\n
\u201cHands down, the hardest thing is carrying it,\u201d Klum said. \u201cIt\u2019s quite heavy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her husband, musician Tom Kaulitz, did not attend this year because he was on tour but the details on her costume include a tattoo of his name on her ring finger, along with her palm lines and veins.<\/p>\n
\u201cA little bit of Tom is with me,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Heidi Klum underwent a bloody transformation to become a giant, gruesome severed hand for her annual Halloween party…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":671733,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[93,61,1042,60,1094,386],"class_list":["post-671732","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-international","tag-ireland","tag-report","tag-world"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/671732","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=671732"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/671732\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/671733"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=671732"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=671732"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=671732"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
