New York City, Nov 01, (V7N) - Heidi Klum has been hosting New York's most talked-about Halloween party for over two decades, solidifying her status as the "Queen of Halloween." The idea for her extravagant bash originated from a lack of exciting options in the city. Klum recalls wondering why Manhattan didn't have standout parties, so she created her own, emphasizing the fun of costumes.

Over the years, she has transformed herself using prosthetics and special effects makeup, even gaining attention for her viral worm costume two years ago. Recently, she kicked off Halloween festivities by lighting the Empire State Building in orange and green, reminiscent of a pumpkin, while dressed in a vibrant orange outfit and ruby slippers.

Reflecting on her past costumes, Klum fondly remembers creating them herself, including a favorite monkey costume inspired by "Planet of the Apes." She proudly dressed as a 90-year-old when she turned 40, showcasing that age is just a number. Klum meticulously plans her costumes a year in advance, often facing resistance from her team but staying true to her vision.

While she keeps this year's costume under wraps, she hints that it will be intricate and time-consuming, requiring hours of preparation. Her daughter Leni will also attend, recently collaborating on a mother-daughter lingerie campaign. Klum encourages her daughter to feel empowered to say no to opportunities that don’t feel right.

As Halloween approaches, Klum is set to delight her guests once again with her unforgettable costume.
