Every year since 2000, Klum has hosted over-the-top Halloween parties for her famous friends — and every year she arrives in a costume that's somehow more jaw-dropping than the last. Even in 2020, when she celebrated at home, Klum still went all-out.
She takes this stuff seriously: In fact, nobody gets into her parties unless they're in costume.
"I always put on my invitation, 'Costume required,' because if you're not dressing up, you're not getting in," she told People in 2011.
Here's a look back at all of Klum's fabulous outfits over the years — including her spooky new looks for 2020.
