The theme of the night, “Costume Art,” encouraged bold interpretations — and Heidi certainly delivered one of the most talked-about looks of the evening.

Designed with acclaimed makeup artist Mike Marino, the outfit was inspired by classical sculptures such as the famous Veiled Christ and the Veiled Vestal. Using latex, body paint, and precision prosthetics, the illusion of carved stone was so convincing that many fans initially thought the images were AI-generated.

Heidi Klum’s Met Gala outfit sparks reactions

But while some praised the craftsmanship and creativity behind the look, others were far less impressed. On social media, reactions quickly poured in — and they were sharply divided.

One viewer wrote, “This is genuinely disturbing… it feels more like Halloween than the Met Gala.” Others called the look “creepy,” “bizarre,” and “too much,” with some saying they didn’t recognize Heidi at all.

Still, many fans defended her bold choice, applauding her commitment to the theme. “She understood the assignment,” one supporter commented, while another added, “No one does Met Gala like Heidi Klum.”

This isn’t the first time Heidi has sparked headlines for her dramatic transformations. Known as the unofficial “Queen of Halloween,” she has built a reputation for elaborate costumes and full-body prosthetics that often leave fans stunned.
