Heidi Klum began the 30-day countdown to what has become her much-celebrated annual Halloween event, sending fans into a frenzy of anticipation and nostalgic costume reminiscing.

The simple post of Klum smiling down on the DSLR and captioned “30 more days 🎃👻💀 #HeidiHalloween” acted so minimally as a stimulus that an unstoppable wave of excitement rose, along with one very loud public outcry. If among all the intricate and jaw-dropping costumes that Heidi Klum has ever unveiled there is one that has found itself down in the deepest recess of collective memory, surely it has to be that full-body earthworm costume in 2021.
The comment section overflowed with extravagant praise for the invertebrate outfit. One called the worm “ICONIC,” while another said simply, “The worm was my fave.” And, the comments went beyond mere praise; some claimed it to be an art form. One person said, “One of the great camp performance art pieces of our time,” meaning that the look actually transcended being just a costume and even began to enter a level of cultural discourse.
Earthworm nostalgia injected some multilingual flair, with people commenting in Spanish with variations like “cuando se disfrazó de gusano iconic!!!” and “El del gusano fue épico.” Without a doubt, the Klum Halloween tour de force has become famous around the world. That sentiment is an international constant: A brilliantly weird idea needs no translation.
Outside of the worm-loving society, eagerness was painted in the limelight. Followers expressed that they “look forward to this every Halloween,” crowned Klum as the irrepressible “Queen of Halloween,” and one comment even carved the invite to her event onto their personal “bucketlist,” which only goes to prove that this event is one of the cudgel-worthy tickets in the entertainment world. The established tradition has since found the spotlight during the spooky season, with Klum persistently raising the standard for all celebrity Halloween parties.

With the clock ticking, it’s no longer will she or won’t she summons the free press; rather, what could she do to best her previous show-stopping costumes? The bar has been set astronomical high: with that humble earthworm, Klum has just laid down the hardest act to follow. An unforgettable Halloween is about to be announced, and who else but Heidi Klum? Heidi recently stunned in a glamorous black outfit, and she also attended the Venice Film Festival with her daughter Leni. She also shared a lovely family photo with her four children.
