Heidi Klum's wild Halloween costume even has Cirque Du Soleil acrobats

Heidi Klum is back with her yearly Halloween shenanigans.

The model and television host revealed her wild costume of the year at her annual party in New York City on Oct. 31.

This year, the "America's Got Talent" judge went as a peacock.

Walking the red carpet dressed in a blue velvet bodysuit and a mask that completely covered her face, Klum was flanked by models in peacock feather pattern bodysuits. They were seemingly hired to move around her as her tail feathers.

When Klum stopped to pose for photos, the models would move along with her, some unfurling their fan-like capes and looking toward the photographers. At one point, they even hoisted Klum into the air for a photo.

On the red carpet, Klum said she had wanted to do a "collaboration" for her costume.

"I was thinking about what I could be, I wanted to have 20 different people become one," she said, adding that she'd reached out to Cirque Du Soleil for the people she needed to help with her look. They then worked together to come up with different poses.

Her husband, musician Tom Kaulitz, was dressed as an enormous, human-sized egg. He said he couldn't remember if it was Klum's idea or his to go as an egg.

"She always comes up with something..first," he told TODAY.com. "So this year she said, 'Hey I'm a peacock, so what can you do with a peacock to match?'"

Earlier this week, Klum had hinted to TODAY.com that her costume would be outlandish.

"It's going to be very, very big and very colorful," Klum told TODAY.com, adding that she tries to find "unusual costumes" that are different from anything she's ever done.

On Tuesday afternoon, she shared a video to her Instagram teasing her Halloween look.

In it, she has facial prosthetics on and a flowing cape. She captioned the post with several emoji: a ghost, a red and black heart and a partying smiley face.

As this look wasn't visible on the red carpet, it's likely Klum will remove her mask and switch once she is inside the party.

Klum also told TODAY.com that she thinks of every year's look herself, she has a team of professionals who specialize in makeup and costume design — but this Halloween she needed to make some changes.

"I have a different team this time helping me because it’s a very different kind of costume, so needed a different kind of team," she revealed.

On Oct. 28, Klum posted a nude photo on Instagram lounging on a bright pink chair with the caption, "The Calm before the storm."

She continued, "3 days to #heidihalloween2023 My Motto this Halloween GO BIG OR GO HOME," with a party emoji.

Last year, Klum was a "cute little rainworm," as she referred to her costume while appearing on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" on Oct. 28.

"I was very claustrophobic because basically they had to tie my arms down in order to be in this position," she told host Jimmy Fallon. "And then my face was glued to the outside of it. So I couldn't really move my face any which way — I was just stuck."

"So three hours before, I wouldn't eat anything. I wouldn't drink anything because, I mean I guess I could have worn a diaper in there but I didn't," she continued. "I also could have just let it go. No one would have known."

Over the years, Klum has gone all out in a multitude of costumes, including various aliens, a skinless human, an ape, a butterfly, Jessica Rabbit and an old woman — which she says is was her favorite look — among others.

Despite Halloween now being her favorite holiday, Klum told TODAY.com that she never dressed up on Oct. 31 growing up in Germany. Instead, she would put on a costume for the German festival Karneval, which takes place in February in cities across the country.

For her Karneval costume, which was primarily lighthearted as opposed to the gory-themed traditions in the United States, Klum says she would go in "scraps we had in the basement."

"So we would always be very creative with whatever we could find in the basement or in the attic," she said of creating a costume that her mom would sew together.

Nowadays, Klum looks forward to Halloween costumes because of the "artistry" and "transformation."

"It's just become such a fun thing to do for me and my friends," Klum said. "I feel like it’s inspiring for other people to also come up with fun costumes because it then becomes kind of a competition amongst people and I think that’s what’s fun. That’s what makes the world go 'round."

As for her Halloween bash Tuesday night, Klum says she's looking forward to seeing all her fellow stars' looks and that all her weeks of planning help put a smile on someone's face.

The soirée had a signature cocktail this year called the Black Magic-rita, which combines lime juice, blackberry juice, a fire tincture, Patrón el Alto tequila, "lots of ice" and black salt around the rim.

According to Klum, the beverage is inspired by "blood" and is meant to be "dark and sinister."

Klum shared a demo of how to make the recipe on Instagram.
