As the queen of Halloween, Heidi Klum knows what it takes to pull off a stunning costume — but that doesn’t mean she hasn’t had to jump some hurdles to get it to perfection.
Speaking to PEOPLE at the Crazy Pizza grand opening in New York City on Oct. 29, the 51-year-old supermodel revealed that there was one costume she had a mishap with. “When I was an apple, like, you know, Seal, and he was Eve,” she said, describing her couple’s costume with her ex back in the day.
In 2006, America has talent the judge dressed in an oversized apple costume because at that time she was eight months pregnant with the son of her now ex-husband Seal Johan. “I wanted to make sure nothing could hurt the baby,” she explained.

The only downside to the clothing size? Coming to the party.
“Look, I couldn’t fit in anything, so I couldn’t go through a normal car door. So at the last minute they had to get me a convertible so I could even get in the car and drive there,” she said.
Suffering a wardrobe malfunction is always something Klum thinks about whenever she steps on the carpet at her famous Halloween parties, which she’s thrown almost every year since 2000.

“I’m always anxious,” Klum told PEOPLE. “Because there is no real trial. I can’t do a real rehearsal before I’m in it. Because I never know if everything works until the day [of]. And then you know, and then something happens and I’m like, ‘Oh, God.’ ”
Despite this, it’s safe to say that Klum succeeds every time, and it all boils down to the amount of preparation she does for one creepy night a year.

Heidi Klum Says Her Kids ‘Have Their Own Ideas’ For Halloween Costumes: ‘Lou Makes Her Own Stuff’ (Exclusive)
In September, the mum-of-four revealed that at that point, she had been tailoring her look “for months”.
In true Heidi Klum style, this year’s outfit will include special effects makeup — but she hasn’t teased anything else, which means we’ll have to wait until the big reveal.
Last year, Klum took her style to new heights when she donned a peacock look complete with a hyper-realistic bird head, while her husband, Tom Kaulitz, was an egg. She was accompanied by an ensemble of Cirque Du Soleil acrobats.
