Heidi Klum's Scary Halloween Transformation: Medusa Comes to Life

Heidi Klum, known for her incredible Halloween costumes, outdid herself again this year. She showed up at her annual Halloween party as Medusa, the mythical creature from Greek stories. Her look was so detailed that it was hard to believe it was just a costume. Snakes seemed to slither out of her head, and her eyes looked like a reptile's. Her husband, Tom Kaulitz, matched her with a knight costume, complete with stone-like makeup to show he had been turned to stone by Medusa's gaze. Klum had hinted at her costume earlier, saying it would be "very ugly" and "very scary. " She shared pictures and videos of the long process of getting ready. It took a lot of work, including a bald cap, lots of prosthetics, and special contact lenses. Even her tongue was changed to fit the look. The costume was so impressive that it moved realistically, making her transformation even more believable. The party took place at the Hard Rock Hotel in New York City. Last year, Klum dressed up as E. T. , and she mentioned it took a year to prepare. This year's Medusa costume was designed by Prosthetic Renaissance, the same team behind the makeup for HBO's "The Penguin. " They won an Emmy for their work, showing just how skilled they are. Klum has always loved Halloween and started her annual party in 2000. She said she fell in love with the holiday when she moved to America. Her elaborate costumes inspired her guests to dress up more creatively over the years. She believes her love for Halloween has helped others enjoy it too.
