NEW YORK — Looking worm-derful this Halloween, Heidi Klum.
The model, 49, went full slug for her annual Halloween extravaganza and showed up as a “rain worm,” commonly known in the United States as an earthworm.
“I just wanted to think outside the box and do something different and I thought we all know a rain worm,” says Klum of her costume while at her party at Sake No Hana at Moxy Lower East Side. “And I want to put a smile on people’s faces. … I thought it’d be funny.”
The model, who is known for her over-the-top Halloween getups, said the rain worm ranks high on her list of best costumes along with her memorable 2013 costume, when she dressed as the old version of herself.
She adds with a laugh, “I feel like a million bucks!”
Klum’s husband, Tom Kaulitz, completed the costume as a fisherman with a pole attached to his wife. His costume also included intricate makeup to give the illusion of a facial injury.
“My favorite part of her costume is that I’m a part of it. She comes up with amazing stuff. Her idea was the worm so I was like, ‘What can I do?'” the musician recalls.

Klum’s daughter Leni, 18, was a first-time attendee, going as Michelle Pfeiffer‘s Catwoman from “Batman Returns.”
“I was Catwoman last year and it wasn’t very great. I picked out the costume morning of so it didn’t fit well. I thought I should just redo it and up it a bit this year,” Leni says of her inspiration.
