While chatting with PEOPLE on the red carpet at The Daily Front Row Fashion Media Awards on Saturday night, Heidi Klum dropped a few hints about what we can expect from her upcoming Halloween costume — and let's just say, she's even giving herself a fright with this year's look. "I don't think I've ever felt as claustrophobic as I will feel that night," Klum, 49, tells PEOPLE exclusively from the Rainbow Room in New York City. "I have a thing about feeling claustrophobic," she admits. The Making the Cut star adds of her costume concern, "Especially if I have too much stuck on me and can't take it off," Klum says ahead of the big bash, "So I'll have to really breeze through it." The model went on to compare this year's getup to a costume she donned in 2015, where she famously dressed as the iconic cartoon bombshell from 1988's Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

She continues, "I've never had as many prosthetics on like I will have this time." Despite her near-identical recreation of Roger's human toon wife, Klum made clear that the prosthetics used in this year's look pale in comparison to costumes of the past. She emphasized that come party time, she has to be one-hundred percent committed. "When you have it on, you can't be like, 'Oh, it's a wig and take it off,'" she explains. "Can't take anything off. It's glued on." Never miss a story — sign up for PEOPLE's free weekly newsletter to get the biggest news of the week delivered to your inbox every Friday.
