A history of Halloween queen Heidi Klum’s iconic costumes

No one (we repeat, no one!) takes Halloween more seriously than Heidi Klum. The 45-year-old model proves each year that she’s the reigning queen of All Hallow’s Eve with her theatrical, meticulous costumes. We’re on the edge of our seats wondering which costume Klum will don for her annual Halloween Party this year. On September 26th, the America’s Got Talent judgetook to Instagram to tease this year’s ensemble. She captioned the video, “Getting ready for #heidiklumhalloween2018”

The video teases a very elaborate prosthetic face. Klum tagged design and makeup artist Mike Marino of Prosthetic Renaissance Inc. Marino has worked with many Hollywood elites: A quick scroll through his Instagram showcases his clients, including Emma Stone and Alicia Vikander.

This obviously isn’t the first time Marino has worked with Klum.
