Heidi Klum's daughter Leni reacts to her mom's viral Halloween 2026 costume: 'Speechless'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Heidi Klum's daughter Leni Klum had quite a reaction to her mother's latest Halloween look, admitting she was left "speechless" by the transformation.

The 22-year-old is well aware of the reputation her mother has built over the years for her elaborate Halloween costumes. The supermodel, who is known for going all out with her annual looks, surprised everyone this year by dressing up as a giant version of her own left hand.

Leni attended her mother's 25th annual Halloween party dressed as Miss Piggy, complete with a pink outfit, pig-inspired accessories and a purple feather boa. Speaking to E! News on the red carpet, she shared her reaction to seeing her mother's latest transformation.

"Speechless," Leni said when asked what she thought of the costume. "I saw it online first because I came a little late, and I just kept rewatching the video over and over."

She then explained that seeing the elaborate creation in person was an entirely different experience from watching it on a screen.

"But in person, it's so much crazier than just seeing a photo or a video online. It's so real and creepy, and to see that that's your mom and like all this blood is like just a little scary, but so cool," she added.

Leni also praised her mother's ability to raise the bar with every Halloween appearance, saying she did not think anyone could match her creativity.

"I don't think anyone can fill her shoes at all when it comes to Halloween," she said. "I just love coming, and I love dressing up. I love seeing her costume in person. She does better and better every single year, which I didn't even think is possible."

Reflecting on her mother's previous Halloween transformations, Leni recalled how difficult it was to imagine what Klum could possibly do next.

"After I saw the worm, I was like, 'How are you gonna top this?' And then that just continued. So yeah, I don't think anyone can really take it over..."

Leni also made it clear that she intends to continue participating in Halloween celebrations and dressing up for the occasion.

"I'll definitely carry on partying and dressing up every year. I think dressing up is fun. It's the one [time of] year that you can be as crazy as you want, do something, and step out of your comfort zone. So definitely that."

Heidi Klum's viral hand costume steals the spotlight at Halloween 2026

For Halloween 2026, Klum took her costume game in an unexpected direction by transforming herself into an eight-foot version of her own left hand.

The elaborate look featured her face at the centre of the giant hand, while the fingers were decorated with replicas of her engagement ring and wedding band, along with her signature manicure.

Created with the help of special-effects artist Mike Marino, the costume took months of planning and preparation. Klum made her entrance in a truck accompanied by people dressed in yellow hazmat suits.
