As the reigning queen of Halloween, Heidi Klum knows a thing or two about creating a spooktacular costume.
The supermodel’s famous for transforming herself annually, with unforgettable looks ranging from an old woman to Jessica Rabbit to a wiggling worm.
But while the star employs plenty of prosthetics and makeup to create her famed costumes, not all of her Halloween essentials cost big bucks; she took to Amazon Live last week to share her must-haves for the eerie holiday, which include several under-$50 finds.
In fact, the model says she DIY’d her costumes for “the first six or seven years” of her iconic Halloween parties.
“I always did my own hair and makeup,” she said on the livestream. “So when you see all of these crazy looks that I had — for example, when I was the apple for Adam and Eve …. or when I was an alien and needed all gold.”
One thing shoppers can’t find on Amazon, however? The secret to what Klum will dress as this year. “I racked my brain so hard to come up with something good again, and I feel like I did, but you decide when you see it on the 31st,” she said.
While we wait to see what costume the catwalker came up with for 2023, keep reading to shop some of her Amazon favorites.
