Yes, Klum is a supermodel and a veteran TV host.
And she’s really, really good at those things.
But one of her crowning achievements has been being adoringly named “Queen of Halloween” by the public.

Her transformations are often jaw-dropping: She becomes unrecognizable.
The sheer amount of time it takes to pull the costume off is applause-worthy.
Each year, there are roundups upon roundups of her incredible Halloween executions.

Of course, Klum doesn’t just slap on a costume and some paint and call it a day.
Marino, lead designer and owner of Prosthetic Renaissance, has worked with Klum since 2011.
“Heidi would do anything for Halloween,” says Marino.

“The removal process involves a lot of very tired makeup artiststaking her makeup offat 5 a.m. “Everybody has fun, drinks champagne, and eats french fries.
It’s a lot of work, but it’s always a good time,” he says.
“She could never find a willing partner to do it with her until [Tom].

It’s hard to see this costume and not notice herexaggerated bosom and derriere.
Marino specifically sculpted these appliances himself to create the animated look.
The breasts and heavy parts were sculpted to stay up and elevated,” he says.

In 2011, Klum arrived at her 12th annual Halloween Party bare bones.
Oscar-winning special-effects makeup artist Bill Corso worked on her makeup while designer Martin Izquierdo made her costume.
(Corso actually recommended Marino to Klum when he wasnt available to work with her.)
The process took 10 hours to complete by Marino along with special effects makeup artistMike Fontaine.
The costume itself included steel platform heels, a step-in silicone bodysuit, wires, and a glowing brain.
(Cue “out of this world” pun here.)
Could #HeidiHalloween this yearbe a short film?
It appears we’ll find out soon.
