Heidi Klum worried Anna Wintour wouldn’t approve her Met Gala 2026 prosthetics

Heidi Klum brought the Halloween spirit to her Met Gala look.

Dressing as an actual marble statue — prosthetics and all — the model channeled the “Veiled Vestal,” Raffaelle Monti’s sculpture that’s currently housed in London’s Chiswick House.

Though Klum certainly took her interpretation of the dress code, “Fashion is Art,” to the next level, she revealed to The New York Times that she was concerned Anna Wintour — who has co-chaired the event since 1995 — wouldn’t appreciate her take.

“I was most worried that she won’t like it,” Klum told the publication, but revealed that she asked the Vogue head honcho herself while inside the event.

“She said yes,” the supermodel confirmed.

Much like Klum’s famed Halloween party, which sees the “Germany’s Next Top Model” host undergo a wild transformation into costume every October, “she planned the look for three months,” according to the Times.

Though “it took her five hours to get ready,” Klum admitted “it was the best her body had felt at the Met Gala.”

Confusing as that might sound, a quick glance towards the floor might explain a few things, as Klum stood in flats while much of the rest of the party teetered around in sky-high heels.

“For once, my feet don’t hurt,” she added, “wiggling her marble-like toes in flat sandals.”

Though Klum’s first Met Gala appearance was 23 years ago, this year only marked her sixth appearance at the fashion-centric event.
