The eye-catching designs were brought to life by acclaimed prosthetics artist Mike Marino, known for his work on notable projects including Max’s 'The Penguin' and Sebastian Stan’s 'A Different Man'.

Marino has previously collaborated with Klum, having created her memorable worm costume in 2022 and the Shrek and Fiona ensemble in 2018.

In the lead-up to the event, Klum documented her extensive preparation process, sharing behind-the-scenes glimpses of her transformation, including images of her face adorned with intricate prosthetics.
