Heidi Klum, known for her legendary Halloween looks, once again wowed fans at her 23rd annual Halloween bash in New York City by dressing up as E.T. from the classic 1982 film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Klum, who has been celebrated for her inventive costumes over the years, was joined by her husband, Tom Kaulitz, also dressed as E.T., as the two embodied the beloved alien character. “I have been a fan of E.T. since I was nine years old,” Klum shared with The Associated Press, expressing that the costume’s design allowed her to “play with proportions” for an extra creative touch.
Fans online celebrated Klum’s originality, with one calling her “a creative genius” and another stating that “Heidi Klum wins Halloween every year.” Some fans went so far as to say this E.T. costume solidified her as the “winner of Halloween forever,” reaffirming her reputation as a Halloween trendsetter.
Across the country, singer Janelle Monáe also celebrated Halloween in an E.T. costume during her appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show. Monáe spoke about her love for Halloween, saying it “opens a larger conversation of how we become agents of joy” and calling her Halloween spirit “heart work.”
As Halloween concludes, Klum’s fans are already speculating on what over-the-top costume she’ll bring next year, but for now, she’s once again claimed the Halloween crown.
