The behind-the-scenes footage reveals layers of prosthetics and precise attention to detail that transformed her into a lifelike rendition of the alien.

Adding her twist, Klum reflected on how E.T. might have celebrated Halloween in 2024. “I know E.T. wanted to go home,” she mused, “but I hope that if the movie took place in 2024, my favorite extraterrestrial would come to my party instead.” This playful take captured the spirit of Klum’s Halloween festivities, where she’s known for fully embodying her chosen character each year.

In her post, she also expressed gratitude to her husband, Tom Kaulitz, who has been a loyal partner in her Halloween endeavors, always dressing up alongside her. 

She also praised the dedicated team that helped her bring this ambitious vision to life, emphasizing that none of it would have been possible without their hard work and talent.

With her E.T. costume, Heidi Klum again proved why she reigns as the queen of Halloween, giving fans and partygoers a night they won’t soon forget.
