Supermodel and TV host Heidi Klum confirmed her position as the queen of Halloween by transforming into a giant, bloodied and severed hand for her annual costume party in New York.

Klum, 53, was completely unrecognisable arriving at her event in what she described as her own chopped-off "left hand".

This year marks the 25th anniversary of Klum's party, which brings celebrities across the globe together dressed in their wild, weird and wonderful costumes.

And the revelry didn't stop there, with celebrities such as Maya Jama wowing attendees at her own Halloween party in London dressed as four-time Olympic champion Sir Mo Farah.

"It took a lot of hands putting this hand together," Klum told reporters as she posed for pictures on the red carpet. "I think about 10 or 20 hands."

Explaining the inspiration for the idea, she said: "I looked at my hand and I thought 'Hey, I think that I can fit my body inside of this somehow.'

"I always try to come up with something unusual and I don't think I've seen an actual person walking around like a hand. I thought that was something new and different."

Klum is never one to shy away from dressing up on the scariest day of the year, with previous looks including a worm, Medusa and the ogre Princess Fiona from the Shrek films.

Other attendees at Klum's party this year included actors Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka, who surprised attendees by dressing as the twins from the horror film The Shining.

Pop star Jade Thirlwall also attended the party in New York dressed as a stone statue of an angel, while Severance and Spider-Man actor Tramell Tillman turned up with intricate face makeup and prosthetics.

Meanwhile in London, broadcaster Maya Jama hosted her annual Halloween Party dressed as Sir Mo Farah.

Jama told Elle UK magazine she wanted to dress as the "bald headed icon" to honour the Olympian, adding that she has wanted to dress up as a man for years for Halloween.

"[Sir Mo] loved the idea," she explained.

"He's actually sent me all of his real life Olympic outfits, his real, actual medals he won for the Olympics.

"His real trainers. He's even done some TikToks for me. He is fully on board."

Comedian Katherine Ryan attended the event dressed as Jama, recreating one of her outfits from her recent stint on the Celebrity Traitors.

Elsewhere, singer Lily Allen dressed as every performer's worst nightmare - a Ticketmaster seating map covered in unsold blue concert tickets.
