Klum is no stranger to dressing up for Halloween, going bigger and better every year.

However, she has also previously caused controversy with some of her outfits, with her 2008 costume of the Goddess Kali sparking outrage from Hindu leaders who demanded an apology.

Controversial: Klum's decision to dress up as Hindu goddess Kali in 2008 wasn't received well by members of the religion

'I loved my costume and I love Halloween,' Klum said at the time. 

'I mean that is one of my most favorite times of the year. I've done so many different things. This was probably my tenth time and I've done so many people like Betty Boop and Lady Godiva and it’s always a take on someone. You’re not that person.'

In 2009, Heidi and husband Seal dressed up as birds of a feather, but Klum said the outfits were difficult to cope with.

She said: 'It was bad. My husband was driving and he could hardly see anything... When you have a beak on, you can't talk to anyone, you can't really drink. It's not a good costume!'

Heidi and Seal were birds of a feather in 2009
