"I mean, Lou, especially. She makes her own things," Klum says. "She's also really into anime. She makes all the wigs herself, like all the pink ones... so she does that all by herself."

The proud mom even admits, "She's pretty talented, I have to say, more talented than me when it comes to building things."

"She buys all the accessories and then she puts a little mask on, like a real proper one," she shares of Lou's impressive costume construction skills. "She [wears the mask] when she's like sanding things down and she's building things so that she doesn't inhale all the dust. She does it properly."

"If anyone has the major block about dressing up and that stuff, it would be my Lou," Klum adds.

The mom of four also revealed to PEOPLE at the event that she gets “anxious” before revealing her elaborate costumes.

“I always get anxious,” Klum admits. “Because there is no real trial. like, I can't do a real fitting before I am in it. Because I never know if it works until the day [of]. And then you know, and then something happens and I'm like, ‘Oh god.' ”

Speaking about a previous mishap with her costume, the America's Got Talent judge shares, “When I was an apple, and Seal was Eve.”

“And because I was nine months pregnant, and I wanted to make sure nothing can hurt the baby or something,” she continues. “So I was thinking about being this big apple, but then we forgot how am I gonna get to the party?”
