Klum’s dedication to her character is amazing. Her costumes often feature custom-made wardrobe pieces, elaborate hair and makeup, original props, and even facial prosthetics. Some of her wildest images in recent years have included the blue-skinned Hindu goddess Kali; a corpse with a gurney and blood-spattered doctors; an elderly woman with a dog; Princess Fiona from Shrek; and even she herself, who arrived at her party surrounded by Klum clones.

Actor Neil Patrick Harris and his husband David Burtka have perfected the art of coordinating family Halloween costumes. As parents to twins Harper and Gideon, the duo have been dressing up as a foursome since 2011, when they started the tradition of four-person themed ensembles by dressing as Peter Pan characters. Since then, the family has become even more creative.
Their ingenuity often touches on iconic pop culture references, from The Wizard of Oz and freak show performers to famed artists such as Andy Warhol and Van Gogh, and even playful nods to fast food mascots including Colonel Sanders and Ronald McDonald.
