Heidi Klum Hosts Star-Studded Halloween Party in New York City

Reports agree that Heidi Klum’s New York City Halloween bash was star-studded and spectacle-driven.

“Heidi Klum hosted her iconic 25th annual Halloween party at a secret New York City location, continuing her tradition of elaborate and creative costumes.”

However, they differ on basic event facts such as the edition number and the venue.

The Western tabloid Daily Mail calls it her “25th annual” party at “a secret New York City location.”

Multiple outlets say it was the 24th edition at the Hard Rock Hotel New York.

Western Alternative Page Six and Just Jared, plus Asian outlet Zoom Bangla News, all place it at the Hard Rock Hotel.

Western Alternative The Daily Beast also situates the red-carpet spectacle at the Hard Rock and notes branded hosting partners.

Across these accounts, Klum again took center stage with an elaborate transformation and a celebrity-heavy guest list.

This reinforced her reputation for over-the-top Halloween showmanship.

Klum’s 2025 look was widely described as a Medusa transformation, though outlets vary on details and even theme in one case.

Page Six reports she arrived as Medusa in a hand‑painted, green‑scaled suit with animatronic snakes for hair.

Daily Mail likewise frames the look as Medusa from Clash of the Titans with a rattlesnake headpiece and a snake‑tongue prop trailing a long tail.

The Daily Beast adds a red‑carpet tableau with Tom Kaulitz as a victim turned to stone, though Page Six specifically calls him a “concrete soldier.”

In contrast, The Telegraph highlights a different tableau entirely, saying she portrayed “a killer” with Kaulitz as the victim, underscoring how imagery from the night was interpreted or possibly drawn from different moments or costumes.

The guest list underscores the party’s pull.

“Klum’s Halloween party took place at New York City’s Hard Rock Hotel, hosted with Butterfinger and Huluween on Disney+, featuring celebrity guests like Questlove, Darren Criss, Ariana Madix, and Ice-T and Coco.”

The Daily Beast names attendees like Questlove, Darren Criss, Ariana Madix, and Ice‑T and Coco.

Zoom Bangla News catalogs a wider lineup including Darren Criss and Mia Swier as Shrek and Puss in Boots, Campbell and Jett Puckett as Elvis and Priscilla, and Rei Ami as Zoey from KPop Demon Hunters.

The lineup also features Alexis Ren, Ilona Maher, Gigi Gorgeous, Anna Ermakova, and Damian Hurley.

Daily Mail spotlights different eye‑catching looks such as Valentina Sampaio as Leeloo, Coco Austin as a sexy Chucky, Ariana Madix channeling Lady Gaga’s Zombieboy, and Ice‑T in a bloodied bodysuit with plastic knives.

Just Jared ties the guest‑heavy scene to the Hard Rock setting and the 24th Annual branding, aligning with other venue reports.

Beyond the night itself, outlets situate Klum’s party within her long-running Halloween legacy.

Entertainment Weekly emphasizes her tradition and last year’s E.T. homage, including her early-day prep and the sentimental appeal of embodying a beloved character.

The Daily Beast likewise notes the E.T. duo with Kaulitz and her viral 2022 worm, adding a behind-the-scenes look at this year’s prosthetics, fangs, and snake-eye contacts.

Just Jared broadens the frame with a ranking of her 23 past looks while also covering unrelated entertainment items.

The Telegraph casts a wider net over Halloween culture with other celebrity costumes and its distinct portrayal of Klum’s tableau with Kaulitz.
