Heidi Klum’s latest Halloween costume has had her seriously stressed.
While chatting with PEOPLE on the red carpet at Tuesday’s live taping ofAmerica’s Got Talent, the supermodel, 50, shared that the design process for her latest spooky season sensation has hit a few snags.
“I have had a really hard time. Things were going wrong, things were not working out,” she says, even joking that she worried she would end up living out her own “Emperor Has No Clothes” moment.
The costume complications had her ready to bail on the party altogether. “I was like, maybe I just don’t come at all and you pretend I’m there because I was already like, oh my God, this is not working out,” she says of skipping her own annualHalloweenbash. “I have no plan B, so I can’t come. I have to call in sick that day.”

“Oh man, no, it’s been like that. It’s been going good, then it’s going terrible,” she continues. “And then I’m like, okay, I see a glimpse of hope this might work. Then it’s not working again. So it’s been a rough patch.”
Fortunately, her Halloween plans are back on track and her costume idea is coming together. “Now I’m positive again. It’s going to work,” Klum declares.
After previously saying her husband, musicianTom Kaulitz, would not be donning a costume this year, Klum revealed that he is now going to be part of her Halloween hoopla. “Yes, he’s going to dress up now,” she teases, adding, “It is a little bit mandatory in my family.”
Klum said Kaultiz, 34, is a good sport when it comes to going along with her over-the-top Halloween costume schemes. “My husband is very good, I have to say. Just being there with me, for me, with all of the shenanigans, because I take it up a notch on Halloween,” she says.
