What to know

  • Klum's 2026 costume depicted a giant, bloody replica of her own left hand, including her real wedding ring and a tattoo reading "Tom" for husband Tom Kaulitz.
  • The party marked the 25th anniversary of Klum's annual Halloween event, now held at Cathédrale Restaurant at Moxy East Village in New York.
  • Kaulitz did not attend this year's party because he was on tour, breaking from his usual role as her costume accessory in past years.

“A great glass of wine is always fun… and most of the time you think of something gory when you have a blood transfusion bag. That's what Halloween is all about. We go gory, and we go there.”

    Coverage details costume's personal touches and five-to-six-hour application

    Reports noted the costume replicated Klum's real wedding ring and a finger tattoo reading "Tom" for her husband Tom Kaulitz, who skipped the party this year while on tour; the transformation reportedly took five to six hours to apply.

    “I looked at my hand and I thought, 'Hey, I think I could fit my body in this somehow,'”
