While some celebs like supermodel Gigi Hadid opt for tried-and-true costumes like her 2015 take on “Bad Sandy” from _Grease_, other celebs go all-in with over-the-top ensembles like Chrissy Teigen’s _Toddlers and Tiaras_ confection from 2010\. However, no one can top Klum herself, whose elaborate costumes often involve anything from life-size props to prosthetics. See the most memorable celebrity costumes from Heidi Klum’s Halloween parties above.  Most Meta Costume: Questlove coming as a caricature of himself in 2015 is one of the most witty celebrity costumes to date. Gilbert Carrasquillo—Getty Images  Most Impressive Use of Body Paint: Cynthia Ervio's 'Avatar'-inspired look in 2016 showed a real commitment to the character — and to body art. Neilson Barnard—Getty Images for Heidi Klum  Best Interpretation of Reality TV: Leave it pop culture enthusiast Chrissy Teigen to kill the costume game with this 'Toddlers and Tiaras'-themed get-up in 2010. Jemal Countess—Getty Images  Best Classic Halloween Costume: Gigi Hadid nailed the ultimate sex kitten Halloween look - "Bad" Sandy from 'Grease.' Heidi Klum really committed to siren life with some larger-than-life prosthetic curves as Jessica Rabbit. Nicholas Hunt—Getty Images for Heidi Klum  Best 'Relationship Goals' Costume: While they were still married in 2006, Seal and Klum came as Eve (Seal) and the serpent with the fruit from the tree of knowledge — gender-bending and allegorical! Jon Kopaloff—FilmMagic  Best Interpretation of Food: On more than one occasion, Kyle McLachlan has embodied food realistically and tastefully; in 2016, he came as kale, while in 2011, he came as cheese in a can.

Dimitrios Kambouris—Getty Images for Booking.com  Best Case of '90s Nostalgia: Jessica Williams and Danielle Brooks took the cake as Nisi and Mickey, the irrepressible heroines of '90s classic, 'B\*A\*P\*S' Neilson Barnard—Getty Images for Heidi Klum  Best Non-Costume Costume: Casper Smart and J. Lo came attired basically like themselves, but with face paint, but still managed to look fabulously on-theme. Andrew Toth—WireImage  Best Cartoon Come to Life: Emily Ratajkowski's Marge Simpson was surprisingly realistic, from her yellow body paint to her blue beehive. Andrew Toth—WireImage  Most On-Brand: Serena Williams is, arguably, the greatest athlete of all time. So it should come as no surprise that she went for a sporty athletic look for her Halloween costume in 2016.
