Every October 31, the world eagerly awaits to see Heidi Klum's Halloween costume. The model outdoes herself every time. This year, she opted to go as a male peacock. But not content with a handful of feathers, she went big, joining forces with 10 dancers from Cirque du Soleil.Evan Agostini (Evan Agostini/Invision/AP)

Every year for Halloween, Heidi Klum becomes unrecognizable. And this year was no different. Here is a detailed image of the prosthetics, feathers and makeup used for the costume. Experts worked from morning til night to perfect the look. Hours before the red carpet reveal, Klum posted a photo on Instagram showing the prosthetics on her face. It was only later discovered that she was to become a peacock.Taylor Hill (Getty Images)

Every year, the German model throws a Halloween party in New York. This year it took place at the exclusive Marquee club, and was attended by many celebrities in costume. For her own costume, Klum teamed up with 10 dancers who dressed as the peacock's feathers while she went as the body and head. As she explained, she chose a male peacock because they have the brightest and most colorful feathers.Noam Galai (Getty Images for Heidi Klum)

When it was time for the party, Heidi Klum slightly modified her costume. She removed part of the velvet sleeves and replaced them with lighter ones, embroidered and loaded with blue feathers. She also wore an overskirt, which gave the outfit spectacular movement.Noam Galai (Getty Images for Heidi Klum)

"A little color, a little paint, makes you what you ain't," Klum said on Instagram in 2022, before revealing herself as a giant worm. It was one of her most talked-about costumes, and it took her 10 hours to pull it off, thanks to pros such as Mije Marino (a professional prosthetic makeup artist), artist Mike Fontaine (who has worked on sci-fi films) and Jerry Constantine (a special effects makeup specialist).Evan Agostini (AP)
