<\/p>\nAfter weeks of frenzied speculation, Heidi Klum finally revealed a part of her Halloween costume Tuesday morning – hours before her annual blowout bash.<\/p>\n
The 50-year-old is renowned for her all-out Halloween looks, leaving her fans in breathless anticipation each year to see what form she will assume next.<\/p>\n
This year’s buildup was especially intense, with her telling Jimmy Fallon she had to ‘close a few streets here down in Manhattan’ for her ‘gigantic’ outfit.<\/p>\n
Over the weekend she posed naked on Instagram, teasing her 11.6 million followers: ‘My Motto this Halloween GO BIG OR GO HOME.’<\/p>\n
Now, in a tantalizing stream on Amazon Live, Heidi lifted the curtain back on an early part of the process of getting into costume.<\/p>\n

Incoming:\u00a0After weeks of frenzied speculation, Heidi Klum finally revealed a part of her Halloween costume Tuesday morning – hours before her annual blowout bash<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Just a few minutes before the stream began, Heidi fired up her Instagram to treat her public to a mysterious glimpse of her look<\/p>\n
She noted that she has approximately ‘eight hours’ before she has to be at her party, where the completed ensemble will be revealed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Heidi was mostly wrapped up in a frou-frou crimson robe – but the prosthetic on the top of her head was visible to the camera.<\/p>\n
The piece hinted at some form of non-human creature, with scales all over Heidi’s forehead and around the outer edges of her eyes.<\/p>\n
An interviewer tried to nail down some details about Heidi’s costume, but the Germany’s Next Topmodel star was determinedly coy.<\/p>\n
However she did divulge that she will be dressed as something that can walk, can talk ‘in a different language’ and can ‘swim maybe a little bit.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her Oscar-winning costume designer Bill Corso was on hand to explain some of the nuts and bolts of the intricate process.<\/p>\n
Bill, the man behind years of Heidi’s Halloween transformations, is an experienced Hollywood makeup artist who won his Academy Award for the 2004 movie Lemony Snicket’s A Series Of Unfortunate Events.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Heidi’s makeup team Louie Zakarian and Amy Tagliamonti – known for their work on Saturday Night Live – also made an appearance.<\/p>\n

However: She did divulge that she will be dressed as something that can walk, can talk ‘in a different language’ and can ‘swim maybe a little bit’<\/p>\n
As the stream progressed, Amy and Louie put some paint on the prosthetic, including ‘metallic copper’ and ‘gold bullion to give it a little shadow.’<\/p>\n
Over the course of the Amazon Live stream, Bill divulged that ‘teams of people’ spent ‘two months’ preparing Heidi’s mystery look.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile Heidi spilled that her costume will be ‘a little bit paired’ with that of her husband Tom Kaulitz, the frontman of the German band Tokio Hotel.<\/p>\n
‘Tom really likes the glitz and glam,’ said Bill, sharing that Heidi’s husband told him: ‘The more glitz and glam the better.’<\/p>\n
Heidi explained her current look was ‘a little bit more comfortable’ than the mega-viral rainworm prosthetic she wore last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Getting into costume reminds Heidi of the feverish backstage atmosphere at a fashion show, with a whole team of people buzzing hectically around her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Teutonic blonde dished that friends of hers from Europe have flown into New York City especially to attend her blowout Halloween bash.<\/p>\n
She loathes when her guests leave the party early and prefers them to stay until the festivities conclude for the night.<\/p>\n

Wow:\u00a0Over the course of the Amazon Live stream, Bill divulged that ‘teams of people’ spent ‘two months’ preparing Heidi’s mystery look<\/p>\n
Once the fete wraps up, Bill and his team get together to embark on the painstaking task of peeling Heidi’s costume off her.<\/p>\n
She confessed that by that point she will have had a drink – or possibly two – but Bill joked that the beverages will assist in the process as ‘alcohol is a remover.’<\/p>\n
Just a few minutes before the stream began, Heidi fired up her Instagram to treat her public to a mysterious glimpse of her look.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her Insta Stories offered a sneak peek of some of the accoutrements, including a giant pair of bulging fake eyes and some false spiders.<\/p>\n
A few weeks ago Heidi revealed she had begun to plan her impending Halloween party, a highlight of her social calendar.<\/p>\n
Heidi is famous for pulling out the stops for her costumes, once spending 10 hours having prosthetics applied on her body in order to dress as a giant rainworm.<\/p>\n
She began the tradition in 2000, showing her supermodel figure in skintight black leather gear that exuded an air of sadomasochism.<\/p>\n
Her no-holds-barred costumes over the years have included Fiona from Shrek, a man-eating space alien and Michael Jackson as a werewolf in the Thriller video.<\/p>\n
