You’ve got to hand it to Heidi Klum—she really isthe Queen of Halloween.
The Project Runway star unveiled her spook-tacular costume at her 25th Annual Halloween Party at Cathédrale Restaurant in New York Oct. 31,transforming into a bloody severed hand. And she revealed just how much work went into her epic look.
“Literally, my left hand inspired me,” Klum exclusively told E! News on the red carpet. “I looked at my hand and I was thinking, ‘How can I fit my body into this hand?’ There must be a way… Two legs could fit into fingers and the body in my palm, and it did work.”
It took her six hours to get ready on Oct. 31, but her team has been working for months to create the prosthetics—or, as she quipped, “Many hands doing this hand.”
And it’s not just any old hand, but a replica of her real left hand—down to the green stone wedding ring and finger tattoo reading “Tom” in honor of husband Tom Kaulitz. As Klum noted, “I got it on our wedding day.”
