- Heidi Klum's team encouraged her to pick a new Halloween costume when she told them she wanted to dress up as a worm.
- "I called him and said, 'Make me a worm,' and he said, 'Huh?!?!?!'" Klum recalled.
- She said that it took two years of brainstorming for her to come up with the costume.
Heidi Klum's team really did not want her to wear that freaky worm costume on Halloween.
Speaking with Vogue, the supermodel said makeup artist Mike Marino and his team at Prosthetic Renaissance, who helped to transform her into the disturbingly accurate bug, encouraged her to pick another costume.
"I called him and said, 'Make me a worm,' and he said, 'Huh?!?!?!'" Klum recalled.
"He initially did not want to do it and kept encouraging me to think of a new idea," Klum said. "However, I am not like that: When I fall in love with an idea, I do not want to pivot."
Klum told Vogue it took her two years of brainstorming to come up with the costume, one that had to be "better than ever" for her first star-studded Halloween party since the pandemic.
"I like to do something unexpected, so I tried to think of a costume that is super absurd, but also very familiar," Klum said. "Because it is Halloween, you need the creepy factor, also a bit gross and disgusting."
For the look, Klum donned a prosthetic shell that fully covered her arms and looked like the body of a worm. Her face was painted and blended into costume for when she slithered down the red carpet and even did an interview lying down.
When she was ready to be free, she ditched the worm suit and revealed a sheer rhinestoned bodysuit underneath.
"I wanted people to shed the heaviness of the world and be playful," Klum said of her worm costume. "I love the transformation of Halloween: People wear costumes, and with that, shed some insecurities of everyday life."
