Heidi Klum shares costume throwbacks as she counts down Halloween

Supermodel and businesswoman Heidi Klum loves Halloween. Every year she spends hours getting into costume and never fails to impress, as she teases fans of snippets of her journey on social media.

Over the years, Klum has dressed up as an ape, a werewolf, an old woman, a giant butterfly, a skinless bodysuit and Jessica Rabbit — to mention a few.

And in anticipation of Halloween this Wednesday, she's taken fans down memory lane by sharing some of her best costumes on Instagram. 

See Klum's Halloween timeline below.

Countdown to Halloween: 18 days! My first Halloween party started in 2000 as I thought someone needs to be throwing a great Halloween party… so I did!!! Since I’m German, I thought a traditional dirndl in patent leather with pigtails would be fun! #HeidiHalloween #HeidiHalloween2018 #HeidiKlumHalloween

Countdown to Halloween: 16 days! In 2002 I dressed as Betty Boop for #HeidiHalloween! I loved those super long eyelashes and extra curves, so much fun to dress as a cartoon character! I loved it so much that I did it again many years later… #HeidiHalloween2018 #HeidiKlumHalloween

Countdown to Halloween: 12 days! This year really showed my dedication to #HeidiHalloween! Even though I was 8 months pregnant, that wasn’t stopping me from throwing the party! I dressed as an apple since it was the costume with the most padding around the stomach #HeidiKlumHalloween #HeidiHalloween2018

‪Countdown to Halloween: 10 days! In 2008, after an inspiring trip to India (one of my favorite places I’ve ever traveled to), with the intention of the utmost of respect, I wanted to pay homage to a part of their vibrant culture by dressing as the goddess Kali for #HeidiHalloween! #HeidiHalloween2018 #HeidiKlumHalloween‬
