Klum is the reigning queen of Halloween, consistently going all out when it comes to her costumes each year. Some of her most iconic costumes include, Jessica Rabbit, a worm, a bloody alien and Fiona from "Shrek."

The model has been hosting a big Halloween party for almost 23 years since the year 2000. She told The Hollywood Reporter in November 2019, she "immediately fell in love with Halloween" when she moved to the United States, and felt "all that was missing was a fantastic party." She took it upon herself to start the party and top herself in terms of costumes, every year.

"I always try to find things that people naturally wouldn’t do," Klum told People earlier in October. "Most people do nurses or police officers, but I was always looking for something that I hadn’t seen."

Jamie Lee Curtis honored her late mother, actress Janet Leigh, in the best way when she walked the red carpet at the "Halloween Kills" premiere dressed as her mom's most iconic character.

Leigh played Marion Crane in Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho," the Norman Bates murder victim who was killed in the shower.

"I am honoring my beautiful late mama, Janet Leigh, but... it's a little more meta than that," Curtis told Entertainment Tonight at the premiere. "I am actually going as Scarlett Johansson as Janet Leigh in the movie 'Hitchcock.' So it's meta because we never knew what color Janet Leigh's dress was because it was a black-and-white movie. But now because of the 'Hitchcock' movie, we know it was pale blue."

"Our 5-year-old started asking questions like, ‘Well, this doesn’t make sense, and that doesn’t make sense. I’m like, ‘You know what? This is just a fun thing we pretend while it’s Christmas.’"
