Political commentator Link Lauren has criticized Heidi Klum's viral Halloween costume. He labeled it "grotesque and bizarre", questioning her choice of details as well.Heidi Klum hosted her annual Halloween party in New York on October 31. The actress is known for her elaborate and creative costumes. This year, she dressed up as her own severed left hand. The costume displayed blood vessels and fingers, with only her eyes and mouth visible.Moreover, the hand also showed Klum's rings, including her engagement ring, her wedding band, and a thumb ring. It also had her long red nails, with her feet in the middle finger and the ring finger.While the costume has gone viral in the media, Link Lauren criticized it on X (formerly Twitter) on November 1, writing:"Hot take: a lot of people loved Heidi Klum’s Halloween costume. But I found it grotesque and bizarre. Almost obscene. Also odd she went as a severed hand with her wedding ring in life size… while her husband is 'away on tour'."He added in the comments:"Just seems like a cry for help to me."Tom Kaulitz didn't attend Klum's party this year, as he is currently on tour. About adding her wedding band and engagement ring to the severed hand costume, the actress said (h/t AP News):"A little bit of Tom is with me."Klum and Kaulitz started dating in early 2018 and announced their engagement in December that year. They then reportedly tied the knot in February 2019.Also Read: "I was most worried she won't like it": Heidi Klum feared Anna Wintour would hate her marble statue look at Met Gala 2026Heidi Klum details the idea and process behind her viral Halloween costumeArrivals - amfAR Gala Cannes 2025 Presented By Chopard - Source: GettyBefore making an appearance at her party with the elaborate costume, Heidi Klum spoke to Vogue about the entire process of making it. She has previously dressed as a slithering worm, Medusa, a werewolf from Michael Jackson's Thriller, and a peacock, among other things. She said that she wants to "surprise people" and "do something that they haven't seen me, or anyone, do before."The model and host added:“Some of the most interesting ideas come from the most ordinary things. I love the idea of taking something so common, and that we see every single day, something we probably never even think twice about, and turning it into something larger than life. I thought it would be funny and bizarre to take something so familiar and twist it.”Mike Marino was Heidi Klum's costume designer, and she revealed that she told him about this idea last year. She added:“[Mike] has all of these scans of my body, so he was able to use those to create an exact replica of my hand. We wanted everything to be as realistic as possible, the anatomy, the veins, the muscles, all the little details that make a hand look like a real hand.”She added that there were some logistical issues, but they figured it out in the end. Klum added that "details make these costumes so special", referencing her rings and nails. She added that this was the 25th anniversary of her Halloween parties.Also Read: “People are struggling to buy gas”: Heidi Klum slammed online over surprising son with Ferrari F430 for his 21st birthday in viral video
