Every year, Heidi Klum, the undisputed queen of Halloween, dazzles us with costumes, each crazier than the last. She has already been an ultra-sexy version of Jessica Rabbit, a multi-colored peacock, and even a not very appetizing worm. This time, she wanted to surprise once again, so on November 1, she was already in brainstorming mode for 2024. Nostalgic for her childhood, she started thinking about her favorite toys and films. It was then that she had a flash of genius when she found an ET figurine, the favorite alien from her childhood. “It’s my favorite movie!” she declares, her eyes full of stars and a touch of intergalactic madness.
Heidi Klum is not on her first extraterrestrial adventure, remember her “failed scientific experiment” disguise from 2019. This year, she decided to move to light speed by playing ET, in a duo with her husband Tom Kaulitz. In November 2023, she called on her team of makeup artists, led by Mike Marino, and began a marathon of fittings and meetings. With a team of 30 artists, we scan, we print, we mold. The objective? Transform our lovebirds into mini-sized aliens. It’s certain, even Spielberg would have drooled with admiration. A significant detail: each part was tailor-made, from the bulging eyes to the nails from elsewhere.
The ET mission was not simple. Imagine that it was necessary to add animatronics to give a real look of a little man from elsewhere. “Finding the right balance for the head without crushing us was a challenge,” Heidi confided to “Vogue Magazine.” The final touch to this work of art: hours of airbrushing to make each piece fit perfectly, like watching a live-action sci-fi scene. Seven hours of makeup later, the two ETs were finally ready to arrive in New York for the famous Heidiween party. The best? The stunned public who could no longer even guess who was hiding behind this new transformation.
After a hectic night and hours of dressing up, Heidi has her little ritual the next day: bath, moisturizing mask and a good night’s sleep. Of course, she’s already thinking about 2025! Because being the queen of Halloween takes work. But above all, she never fails to remember why she does all this: to see the surprise in the guests’ eyes and to savor each reaction.
