The supermodel who has been known to rock some incredible 'fits to mark the spooky holiday, appeared as E.T. for her annual bash at the Hard Rock Hotel in New York City.
Channeling the iconic alien from Spielberg’s 1982 classic, the 51-year-old's costume was complete with a glowing fingertip and a motorized headpiece, as well as a mouth and eyes that an outside party could operate.
Klum's husband, German musician Tom Kaulitz, also made an appearance at the event and while he usually opts for a 'fit that compliments his wife's, this time he took a leaf out of her book and also suited up as E.T. for the event.
Have a look at the pair below:
Speaking to the New York Times, the costume's designer opened up about the preparations they had to undergo to help Klum pull off this look.
Apart from studying the movie in detail and grabbing a few bottles of baby powder and KY Jelly, Mike Marino also made sure Klum’s robotic headpiece was glued into place, speeding up the drying process with the aid of multiple blow dryers.
Marino also added that the suits were put together using 3D printing with a zippered seam running from the top of the head down to the midpoint of the spine.
The team also added a few more skin pieces as well as a layer of airbrush makeup on top to make the entire look appear seamless - the attention to detail was insane!
And of course, the internet was loving it!
"Heidi Klum is STILL the reigning Queen of Halloween!" wrote one user in response to a video of the transformation.
"She always has the best costumes," another added.
"She nailed [it]," a third chimed in.
However, Klum wasn't the only one to think outside of the galaxy as Janelle Monet Janelle Monáe also decided to channel her inner E.T.
"You finally came home. Welcome back E.T. Thank you Google Maps. Starring yours truly as both E.T. & Janellllliot," the performer, who goes by she/her and they/them pronouns, wrote while sharing photos of the extravagant costume on Instagram earlier this week.
She also made an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson show as the character, stunning audiences as well as the host in the process.
Earlier this month, Monáe revealed that the elaborate costume was years in the making.
"I've shared a costume idea with someone's team, actually, and tried to get a price for how much it would cost. And then I found out that person was going to be that and I had been planning this costume for two years," she recalled to PEOPLE, only noting at the time that she would be dressed as "an iconic movie character."
Well, she certainly pulled it off!
Who do you think wore it better?
