“My Motto this Halloween, GO BIG OR GO HOME,” Heidi Klum wrote under one of her recentInstagram posts; and with her costume no longer a secret, it’s clear to see why.

Unsurprisingly, 2023 was no exception, as the woman left everyone in awe with her peacock costume, which came to life during her Halloween party in New York.

Klum is known for taking Halloween costumes to the next level with something new and exciting every year

Heidi Klum showed off her colorful feathers at her Halloween party taking place in New York, which has been a yearly tradition—with a short break in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic—since the turn of the century.

In aninterview with People, Klum went through some of her most memorable costumes from the past couple of decades, sharing details behind the hows and whys.

“I always try to find things that people naturally wouldn’t do. Most people do nurses or police officers, but I was always looking for something that I hadn’t seen,” said the model who, last year, surprised everyone in a what some would call state-of-the-art worm costume.

“I love the fantasy of it all. I love becoming someone else for people to guess,” Heidi Klumtold the hostof The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. While discussing Halloween—or Heidi-Ween, as Fallon suggested—the model said that she believes it’s best not to talk about the costume in advance, as people tend to have certain expectations if you do.
