Was your Halloween costume better than the one these celebrities wore? Was it better than Heidi Klum's?

If you like Halloween and celebs, you definitely know about Heidi Klum and the insane costumes she has worn through the years. To me, I have to admit that she has become a little obsession of mine, especially after the worm costume. Every year, on Halloween night, I'm always expectant to see what incredible outfit she is going to pull out, and she never disappoints! If you are not familiar with her game, let me tell you about some of the costumes she has done in the last few years.

Heidi Klum has been dressing up for Halloween in this out of the top costume for 25 years now. She knows what she is doing, but she also has the craziest ideas. If I had to pick my favorites, I would start with the one from 2013 where she dressed as a senior-citizen version of herself. The makeup is incredible on another level; she does look like a real-life older version. If I saw her on the street, I would have offered her my help to cross the road. Another one that I love is the one from 2015 when she dressed up as Jessica Rabbit from Who Framed Roger Rabbit? She wore a lot of prosthetics that fully sold the image of a real-life version of the character. In 2016, she did the simplest costume she could do, but it was no less than iconic. She decided to be herself, accompanied by five look-alike women who worked as her clones. I imagine people all night questioning if they were talking to the real Heidi Klum or just a clone.

This year, she topped herself doing what seems to be my favorite Halloween costume, competing with the worm from 2022, of course. She decided to get dressed as a hand. When I say hand, I mean an anatomically correct hand with nerves and bones coming out of the wrist where it was cut from the rest of the body, and several rings on the "fingers". It's grotesque, it's scary, it's camp, it's iconic. She teased this costume for a couple of days before the grand reveal, but I'm sure nobody guessed she was doing this insane thing. She has set the bar at an impossible level; it's unachievable to do Halloween better than her. She is just that girl!

She is not the only celebrity who dresses up for Halloween, but we must admit she is the most committed to the bit. She doesn't care how many hours she has to sit in a makeup chair. She does everything she possibly can to outshine anyone else's costume, and I love that for her. There were other amazing costumes worn this Halloween by your favorite celebrities, but let's just be honest: no one was even near topping her. We have to give flowers where flowers are due. This was nothing less than amazing, and I loved her costume.
