Heidi Klum’s Halloween parties in New York have now become cult – year after year, the mystery surrounding his Halloween costume caused a huge sensation.

After a long wait, we are rewarded. The chief judge of Next Top Model German appeared on the red carpet in New York on Thursday evening and revealed her disguise:

A tribute to the main character of Steven Spielberg’s cult 1982 film, because it was one of her favorite films as a childrevealed Klum to New York Times.

The 51-year-old model was inspired by a movie scene in which ET is adorned with human accessories such as lipstick, clothing and a blonde wig.

A type of wrinkled skin covered his entire body, while his eyes and mouth were visible through the wrinkles on his neck. According to the New York Timesthe movements of the enormous head with large blue eyes and a moving pink mouth were controlled remotely by an employee.

Klum’s husband, Tom Kaulitz, was dressed to match the theme. It also came in ET form, but based on a different moment in the film. Klum and Kaulitz spent many hours in the mask for the transformations in Aliens.

And because the disguise was so difficult to remove, she wore a protective layer underneath. As Heidi explains at New York Times: “Maybe I’ll never need to use the diaper, but at least I don’t have to think about it.”

Leni Klum, Heidi Klum’s daughter, also surprised on the red carpet. She wore an insect costume. His outfit consisted of large black eyes, antennae, and a sparkly silver bodysuit, giving him the signature look of a bow tie.

Note that all these little people had competition in the person of singer Janelle Monáe, who also had the idea of ​​slipping into the skin of Steven Spielberg’s iconic creature. It’s our chance to judge who has the most convincing costume!

Fans perplexed

Before the party, fans were able to watch the makeup artists transform the model live. They sculpted a brown, rubbery mask layer by layer on the models’ faces.

Over the days, Klum shared several photos and videos of costume parts on her Instagram account, fueling speculation about her costume. Some fans were therefore right to assume that it could be the alien.

Heidi Klum’s costume was well received by her followers on social media. Many celebrities were also enthusiastic.

The official account of film production studio Universal called her transformation “iconic.” “Amazing,” actor and comedian Terry Crews also commented under the images posted on Heidi’s account. Several other netizens hailed Klum as the “Queen of Halloween.”

This year, Klum’s annual Halloween party took place for the 23rd time and took place at the Hardrock Hotel in New York. Before the big celebration, Klum received another honor: she was allowed to turn on the Halloween lights at the Empire State Building.

A great day for Heidi ????

Since 2000, Heidi Klum has celebrated her legendary party on October 31 with many star guests. Only in 2020 and 2021 was this legendary horror festival canceled due to the corona pandemic.

And since 2018, Klum and Tom Kaulitz have formed a duo every October 31: they have already appeared in the roles of Fiona and Shrek, an alien and an astronaut, as well as a fisherman and an oversized worm. Last year, Klum broke boundaries once again as a shimmering peacock with human feathers performed by Cirque du Soleil dancers. Tom Kaulitz played an XXL peacock egg.

Once upon a time, in a neighborhood of Brooklyn, there was a young stripper who had for first name Anora. To sometimes make ends meet, the one who renamed herself Ani sells her services, as an escort girl, to certain clients of the club. Which she will do with Vanya, a sort of hyperactive Timothée Chalamet and son of a Russian oligarch. The young man, who barely speaks English, spends his days smoking joints and his nights partying.
