Tom added:

"I love all those creative people. And it's just different if you see it in real life, you know, if you see it in real life, you can't replace that."

The couple further revealed that Heidi's look was created by a team of 15 "creative, amazing people that do movies, [and] they've all won awards" who are "best of the best."

"When I look at her, I'm like, I'm amazed, you know, we look at each other all night, and we're like, wow, this is amazing, you know, it's so cool. It is a lot of fun," Tom concluded.

"I'm going to be very ugly": Heidi Klum on her 2025 Halloween look

Speaking to People Magazine, a few days before her annual Halloween party, Heidi Klum claimed that her costume was going to be "very ugly."

"I'm going to be very ugly because I always try to do something different," she said.

Klum reminisced about her previous Halloween looks, including 2024, when she was dressed as E.T., the alien from E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, and the year before, when she was dressed as a peacock.

"I thought last year, I was very cute with my husband as E.T. And the year before that, we were the big peacock with performers. After the worm [in 2022] that felt so simple, I wanted to make something complicated. And with having 15 [performers as part of the costume], being so many bodies creating one thing, I thought that that was different again. So I hope I came up with something new again," she said.

The former Victoria's Secret Angel didn't throw a Halloween party in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
