For Klum, Halloween is not just an annual occasion; it is a passion that she embraces year-round. With November 1 marking the official beginning of her costume planning for the next year, the model constantly looks for ways to outdo her previous efforts. Speaking to PEOPLE, she expressed, “I feel like I’m always thinking about Halloween and how I can one-up myself. There’s really no break!”
This year’s theme is particularly significant for Klum, as she celebrates a quarter of a century of Halloween gatherings. “All I can say is that we’re going bigger than ever. It’s a very special milestone, and I can’t wait to celebrate with everyone… it is my favourite night of the year!” she stated. While the specifics of her costume remain a mystery, she did tease that her outfit will carry a darker tone this year. “This year’s costume is going to be much bloodier than in years past. I always love finding a way to surprise people, so I think this one will definitely be gory and get a reaction!” Klum stated.
In addition to the extravagant costumes and festive atmosphere, Klum uses the occasion to support charitable initiatives. Her longstanding partnership with UNICEF as an ambassador holds great personal significance, particularly as a mother of four. Klum has been involved with UNICEF since 2011 and has travelled extensively with the organisation to witness its impactful work. “As a mother, I know there is nothing more important than making sure every child is healthy and safe,” she remarked. “Being able to use Halloween and Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF as a moment to encourage people to give back means so much to me.”
When Klum is not immersing herself in costume design or philanthropy, she dedicates time to her family and self-care. Recently, she enjoyed a summer getaway in St. Barths, which she describes as one of her favourite destinations. “It was so nice to have that time together as a family in such a beautiful place,” she reflected, underscoring her commitment to family time amidst her busy schedule.
As a public figure, Klum has her go-to products that she swears by. Among her essentials is L’Oréal’s midnight cream, which she finds rejuvenating after exhausting days or extensive travel. “It’s a great product for the evening because it feels rich and luxurious, so I wake up with my skin feeling very hydrated,” she said, highlighting the importance of self-care in her routine.
When asked about her daily interactions, Klum mentioned that she often texts her husband or her children, revealing a relatable glimpse into her personal life. Amid her frantic schedule, she prioritises sleep as her primary self-care tactic. “I think that is the most important way you can take care of yourself,” she explained.
As Halloween approaches, Klum is preparing for yet another exciting year of transformations and creativity, but she continues to focus on her responsibilities as a mother and role model. Just before bedtime, a brief moment of affection with her husband brings her joy amidst her busy life. “I kiss my husband,” she shared, illustrating that even supermodels cherish simple moments of connection at day’s end.
Reflecting on her recent accomplishments, Klum expressed feeling empowered after walking in the L’Oréal Paris Le Défilé show, a celebration of women’s strength and achievement. “It’s something I look forward to every year, and I feel so grateful to be part of the L’Oréal Paris family,” she concluded.
As Heidi Klum gears up for a Halloween celebration unlike any other, her commitment to family, philanthropy, and personal wellness remains at the forefront. With her vibrant spirit and creativity, there’s little doubt that this year’s Halloween party will be a memorable highlight in her ongoing legacy.
