The elaborate look was customized by longtime collaborator Mike Marino, featuring a face appearing through a gory gash at the wrist complete with bones and blood. Page Six noted that the much-anticipated red carpet drew a massive gathering of notable names for the landmark celebration, which was presented by Apothic and Butterfinger.

All Four Children Join the Milestone Celebration

Beyond the packed celebrity guest list, all four of Klum’s children stepped out to support the silver-anniversary event. Leni Klum arrived dressed as a pig in a white dress. Henry Samuel sported a green-painted face paired with a Kermit the Frog hat, while siblings Johan Samuel and Lou Samuel also joined their mother and family on the red carpet.

The family presence added a personal touch to an evening traditionally known for its high-concept, transformative prosthetics. Over the past quarter-century, Klum’s annual party has evolved into a premier fixture of the New York social calendar, drawing massive crowds of photographers and fans eager to see her latest disguise.
