Story summary

On October 31, 2026, Heidi Klum hosted her 25th annual Halloween party in New York City, where she arrived dressed as a giant, bloodied severed hand. Only visible were her eyes and mouth, with blood dripping from her mouth as she was helped to the ground by actors in yellow hazmat suits after arriving in a truck covered in red "DANGER" signs. In previous years, Klum has worn costumes inspired by Greek myths, pop culture icons like Michael Jackson's werewolf from "Thriller," and Hindu goddess Kali. For this year’s event, Klum explained her inspiration came from looking at her own left hand and imagining herself fitting inside it as a giant severed hand.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
