The price of this worm might make you squirm.
When Heidi Klum dressed as a worm for her 2022 Halloween party, it raised questions ranging from how long it took to complete to how on earth she went to the bathroom — but now the supermodel has spilled the secrets of her slimy (and pricey) look to The Hollywood Reporter.
Klum, 49, joined her go-to Halloween guy, Mike Marino, owner of Prosthetic Renaissance, for the interview, with the costume pro revealing that making the look “costs a lot more than anyone would think.”
Sharing that since her annual bash was canceled in 2020 and 2021, Klum said she wanted to wear “something different and unexpected” for its spooky return.
But her idea to dress like a worm on a fishing line held by her husband, Tom Kaulitz, 33, wasn’t well-received by Marino at first, who “didn’t think it was possible.”
“This costume idea was so big and it had to happen in [real time and in] real life, no cuts for take two,” the special effects pro said. “I wasn’t confident about pulling it off.”
After being convinced by Klum they could — in the words of her “Project Runway” co-star Tim Gunn — “make it work,” Marino and his team set out to create a human-sized worm over a period of four months, taking scans of the model’s face and body and creating a foam worm prototype.
“Once the suit was built, we zipped Heidi in and hid the zipper, then I glued on the facial appliances and painted,” the costume veteran said.
Her transformation into an invertebrate took a good 12 hours, according to Klum, who shared, “We started at 11 a.m. and I probably made it to the carpet around 11 p.m..”
Klum’s foam worm headpiece was painted to give it a realistic skin texture.
