Heidi Klum’s Halloween ‘transformation begins’ as she has her body painted to look like a statue

Just in time for Halloween, this international beauty is getting into the spirit with what looks to be a sensational costume.

Heidi Klum posted videos to her Instagram account on Friday morning that gave fans a peek into what her look will resemble for this year’s holiday.

The 47-year-old Making The Cut star reclined on a large mattress in one sped-up video post, as a crew of at least four people surrounded her to paint her body to look like a stone or marble statue.

In the clip shot from bird’s eye view, Heidi wore a bra and panties, which were already in shades of grey and white with black lines here and there to suggest cracks in the stones.  

Over the course of the snippet, the painters cover Klum’s lanky figure in swathes of grey and white, as she begins to literally blend in with the background on which she laid. 

The Project Runway host wore a standard surgical mask for part of the process, and had her hair up and out of the way, occasionally putting a leg up as her team worked. 

At one point, it looked as though she had even fallen asleep.

‘First you see me, now you don’t!’ Heidi wrote in the caption, along with a trio of ghost emojis. 

‘The transformation begins… #HeidiHalloween2020’ 

Later, the 5ft9in German beauty added a shot of preparations for a different look, in which she was being painted in shades of gold and brown with squares of green and white on her chest.

‘On to the next look … and doing my best to blend in!’ Heidi wrote in the caption for that post, teasing her fans with a vague hint as to what her costume may resemble.

Like Vanessa Hudgens and many others, Klum is an outspoken celebrity fan of Halloween, making sure to wow the masses each year with her costumes. 

She’s embodied everyone from Who Framed Roger Rabbit’s iconic Jessica Rabbit, all the way to Kali, the blue-skinned, multi-armed Hindu goddess of death. 

And on Friday, the former Victoria’s Secret Angel added another video of her preparations for this year, giving her 7.6 million Instagram followers a different look into the garage where she was getting body-painted.

While time-consuming, body painting often creates a show-stopping effect, as seen in countless instances including Demi Moore’s timeless trompe-l’œil ‘suit’ outfit on the August 1992 cover of Vanity Fair.

Traditionally, Klum hosts an extravagant Halloween costume party in New York City each year, but it remains to be seen what her plans are this year given the circumstances of COVID-19.
