Nov 1 2022

Local make-up TikTok star Henry Galea was just invited to the world’s most popular Halloween party in New York alongside some massive names.

The party was organised by Heidi Klum, a German-American model and television host. Klum herself dressed up as a literal worm at the party.

Yep, you read that right. “I tried to think outside of the box and come up with other things and last year I was thinking, oh, a tree would be really cool, or like, a plant, and then I kind of went from plant to rainworm,” she told reporters at the red carpet on Monday.

Aside from Worm Klum, Henry Galea shared the space with the likes of Elon Musk and Nikita Dragun.

Henry himself donned a half-burnt suit costume ala Breaking Bad’s Gustavo Fring, which he reportedly started working on the minute he received the invite. He was then snapshotted posing with the invited celebrities, including a StarFire Dragun.
