Heidi Klum Halloween costumes are the best celebrity Halloween costumes, hands down. This is just a fact. The supermodel is the queen of Halloween, offering up intricate, memorable costumes year after year. And every Heidi Klum Halloween outfit usually comes with a legendary Heidi Klum Halloween party (2020 and 2021 are the exceptions, because of the COVID-19 pandemic).
But Halloween bash or not, the Heidi Klum Halloween costumes over the years are showstopping. Remember when she was Lady Godiva in 2001? Or Jessica Rabbit in 2015? Or the scariest alien you’ve ever seen in 2019? I still have nightmares about that.
So what did Heidi Klum do for Halloween this year?
Heidi Klum’s 2024 Halloween costume is…E.T.! The supermodel and her husband, Tom Kaulitz, both dressed as different versions of the little fella from Steven Spielberg’s 1982 classic, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. (If you look closely, you can see Klum’s and Kaulitz’s faces peeking out behind the neck flesh.)

According to Vogue, the intricate costumes took over a year and more than 30 visual effects artists to bring the vision to life. “We began by digitally printing their bodies, and digitally sculpting E.T.’s various parts—arms, legs, feet,” visual effects artist Mike Marino said. “Then, we puzzled everything together to make sure they lined up and fit. We 3D-printed all the sculptures, molded them, cast them in foam latex, and reinforced them with spandex. We then glued the pieces to their faces, and blended them into the body.”
Klum and Kaulitz are not the only E.T.’s to land on Earth in time for Halloween 2024. Janelle Monáe did her own version of the little guy, which she shared to Instagram earlier this week.
