Heidi Klum is committed to the bit. The supermodel made for the most impressive sight at the Met Gala yesterday, delivering one of her best costumes yet, a feat that becomes more and more complicated year after year.
Klum is known for her incredible red carpet moments. This year, she attended the Met Gala as a living sculpture, with the 1847 Raffaelle Monti’s Veiled Vestal sculpture as reference.
Klum made for the night’s most surreal moment, fully inhabiting a marble sculpture as she posed for the cameras. With one hand posed by her chest and another by her waist, Klum maintained an impassive face for the cameras, accessorizing the look with grey contacts, and a fully painted face and teeth.
She took the evening’s theme to heart, fully embodying the “Art is Fashion” instruction.

“For this year’s Met Gala, Mike Marino transformed fabric into sculpture, manipulating latex and spandex with extraordinary precision to mirror the stillness, delicacy, and illusion of carved marble. Inspired by the timeless beauty of Veiled Vestal by Raffaelle Monti, this look blurs the line between fashion and fine art. A piece of fashion art, reimagined in motion. Every fold, every contour, every detail is intentional, capturing both strength and softness in a way that feels almost impossible. A one-of-a-kind design that doesn’t just dress the body, but elevates it into art itself.”
The look comfortably fits into Klum’s incredible repertoire of costumes, including looks as E.T., a peacock, Medusa, a worm, Fiona from “Shrek,” and much more.

Klum hosts one of New York’s most famous Halloween parties, wowing guests with her committed outfits that result in unrecognizable transformations.
“I never take the easy way out,” she said in an interview with PEOPLE. “People say, ‘Why the heck are you doing this?’ I do it for the art of it, of transformation, of surprising people also. It’s like a life performance art thing in a way because you see so much AI and things are being photographed, repatched, this, that and the other.”
“I always try to come up with something that is giving people an ‘ooh’ and ‘ahh’ and a wow because I want to inspire people to also do something creative,” she shares.
