Heidi Klum Lights ESB for Halloween 2025

What is Heidi Klum going to be for Halloween 2025?

On Oct. 31, the Empire State Building shined in orange and green to resemble a pumpkin in celebration of Halloween. New for 2025, the building debuted a spooky hourly chime that featured flashes, fades, sparkles, and strobes for tive minutes at the top of every hour.

Supermodel, TV personality, and the undisputed Queen of Halloween Heidi Klum visited the building to flip the switch in a lighting ceremony to honor the holiday. After the ceremony, Heidi toured the Empire State Building's immersive exhibits and iconic observation decks, and sat down for an interview to rate famous Halloween costumes and give her tips for a great Halloween party.

For more than two decades, Heidi has hosted the most anticipated Halloween event in New York City, and her elaborate costumes and experiences have solidified her as a Halloween icon. This lighting marks Heidi's second Halloween collaboration with the Empire State Building.
