Story summary

On October 31, 2026, Heidi Klum hosted her annual Halloween party in New York City for the 25th year, where she arrived dressed as a giant, bloodied severed hand. Only her eyes and mouth were visible through the prosthetic, which was designed to resemble her own left hand. The costume featured red nails, a thumb ring, and both her engagement ring and wedding band. Klum explained that the idea came when she looked at her hand and thought she could fit her entire body inside it. A team of prosthetic artists helped create this elaborate transformation, which took several hours to complete. Guests included former couple Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes, who posed as Danny Zuko and Sandy Olsson from "Grease."

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.
