Heidi Klum Channels E.T. for Her Epic Halloween Bash
Heidi Klum, the queen of elaborate Halloween costumes, wowed everyone at her annual Halloween bash this year with a truly unforgettable look – she transformed into none other than E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.
The 51-year-old supermodel arrived at New York’s Hard Rock Hotel in a stunningly detailed E.T. costume, complete with a moving headpiece, glowing fingertips, and an oversized wig. The headpiece, which weighed approximately five pounds, included a mouth that blinked and moved, created with the help of a remote-controlled device. Klum even revealed she wore an adult diaper just in case removing the elaborate costume proved difficult during the night.
“When I asked Mike if he could do this costume for me, his initial answer was ‘no.’ I begged and begged him to change his mind,” Klum told Amazon Live, referring to her longtime collaborator, Mike Marino, the Hollywood prosthetic designer.
Klum’s husband, musician Tom Kaulitz, also joined in on the E.T. theme, arriving in a matching costume, albeit without the elaborate headpiece.
Klum’s elaborate costume creation is par for the course at her annual bash, which has become renowned as one of the most anticipated Halloween events.
Other notable attendees included:
- Questlove as a Mad Hatter
- Model Haley Kalil as Tim Burton’s “Corpse Bride”
- “The Real Housewives of New York” star Bethenny Frankel as Wonder Woman
- Influencer Zach Justice as Colonel Sanders, revealing “America’s Got Talent” contortionist Sofie Dossi inside a giant chicken egg costume.
This year, the E.T. theme wasn’t unique to Klum – Janelle Monae also debuted her own E.T. -Inspired look on “The Jennifer Hudson Show,” complete with a glowing fingertip. While convenient timing might suggest it, it seems this iconic alien achieved cultural resonance once again.
