Heidi Klum Unveils Her Next Halloween Masterpiece with Makeup Guru Michael Marino!

On Wednesday, self-proclaimed 'Queen of Halloween' Heidi Klum shared the first teaser for the next epic costume she's prepping for her annual bash in Manhattan - 58 days ahead of the spooky holiday (pictured August 27)

HEIDI KLUM UNLEASHES HINTS OF HER NEXT EPIC HALLOWEEN TRANSFORMATION!

Get ready for the Queen of Halloween's most electrifying costume yet, darling! The incomparable Heidi Klum has teased her followers on Instagram with a sneak peek at her upcoming Halloween extravaganza, and we are simply DYING over here!

With only 58 days to go before All Hallows' Eve, the German supermodel (who boasts an astonishing 24.9 million social media followers) is already giving us major costume goals. In a video clip shared on Instagram, Klum can be seen biting down on some sort of molding paper under the expert guidance of her favorite special effects makeup designer, Michael Marino.

The German 52-year-old model - who boasts 24.9M social media followers - captioned her Instagram video: 'Halloween is just around the corner'

Marino, who has worked his magic on A-listers like Colin Farrell and The Weeknd, is heard instructing Klum to "go all the way in" – leaving us wondering if she'll be donning a pair of dramatic false teeth for this year's transformation. Could it be that the 52-year-old stunner will be giving us a jaw-dropping, toothy grin?

For those who are new to Heidi's Halloween shenanigans, let's take a trip down memory lane. Last year, she turned heads as an out-of-this-world E.T. costume, complete with her face hidden in the alien's neck. In 2023, Klum and her husband Tom Kaulitz (the dashing lead guitarist of Tokio Hotel) channeled their inner aquatic creatures – she was an earthworm, while he donned a fisherman's hat.

But it's not just about individual costumes; Heidi loves to get creative with couples' looks. Remember when they turned up as Princess Fiona and Shrek in 2018? Or how about the time she enlisted five identical models to be her clones in 2016?

The L'Oréal Paris brand ambassador has even confessed that she starts thinking about Halloween ideas on November 1st of each year – giving herself a whole 11 months to brainstorm, perfect, and obsess over her next masterpiece. "I put a lot of pressure on myself to come up with something better and better every year," Klum revealed in an interview with thescholarlynote.com (no surprise there, darling!).

As for other projects, Heidi is currently slaying as a judge on the 21st season of reality TV design competition Project Runway – where she's joined by Nina García and Law Roach. And when she's not busy judging or hosting, you can catch her dishing out fashion advice alongside Tim Gunn on Making the Cut.

But first, Heidi has a family milestone to celebrate: on September 12th, she'll be marking the 20th birthday of her son Henry Günther Ademola Dashtu Samuel with her second ex-husband Seal (yes, that Seal!). This will also give fans an opportunity to get a glimpse into the private lives of this iconic couple.

And speaking of private lives, we can't help but wonder what other secrets Heidi has up her sleeve for Halloween 2024. Stay tuned, folks – it's going to be EPIC!

In 2023, Klum wore an incredible earthworm costume while her third husband Tom Kaulitz (R) was dressed as a fisherman

The L'Oréal Paris brand ambassador frequently ropes in the 36-year-old Tokio Hotel guitarist to do couples costumes including 2018 when they disappeared as Princess Fiona and Shrek

2016 was arguably the easiest year for Heidi as she simply enlisted five similarly framed 5ft9in models to 'wear her face and hair' as clones

Heidi was an anatomically-correctJessica Rabbit in 2015

The Erewhon brand ambassador told the Daily Mail in 2019: 'I start thinking about it on November 1. I usually have two or three ideas that I'm playing with and then I decide on one thing' (pictured in 2017)

But first, on September 12, Heidi and her second ex-husband Seal will celebrate the 20th birthday of their son Henry Günther Ademola Dashtu Samuel (pictured August 26), who signed with Next Model Management on July 16

Klum currently judges the 10-episode 21st season of reality TV design competition Project Runway - which airs Thursdays on Freeform, Disney+, and Hulu
