Instead of being unearthly beautiful, Heidi Klum becomes extraterrestrially wrinkled: As ET with googly eyes and glowing fingers, she and her husband Tom Kaulitz appear in a double pack at the legendary Halloween party in New York.

Heidi Klum lived up to her nickname as the “Queen of Halloween” – and stepped into the spotlight as the alien ET at her famous annual party in New York. Together with husband Tom Kaulitz – who wore the same outfit except for a few accessories – the German showed off a glowing fingertip, like the model from Steven Spielberg’s classic 1982 film.

Wrinkled, grayish skin covered the 51-year-old’s entire costume body – Klum’s eyes and mouth could be seen through the wrinkles on her neck. According to the New York Times (NYT), the movements of the huge head with large blue googly eyes and a movable pink mouth were controlled remotely by an employee. Klum and Kaulitz spent many hours in the mask for the transformations in Aliens.

Diaper under the costume

And because the disguise was so difficult to take off, she wore an adult diaper underneath, according to the NYT: “Maybe I’ll never have to use the diaper, but at least I don’t have to think about it,” said Klum.

The top model, who comes from the Rhineland and lives in the USA, causes a stir every year on the traditional day with elaborate costumes. This is also why Klum has achieved cult status and is called the “Queen of Halloween”. She has been throwing her famous Halloween party on October 31st since 2000. Her legendary spooky festival was only canceled in 2020 and 2021 due to the corona pandemic.

Legendary: The Worm

She spends weeks preparing for the scariest night of the year. “I’m always nervous beforehand,” she told People magazine shortly before her appearance. “Because there’s no real trial run beforehand. I can’t do a proper fitting before I wear the costume. I never know if it’ll fit until the day comes.”

Last year, the model came into the spotlight as a larger-than-life peacock in a bright blue outfit, surrounded by ten acrobats wearing shiny green peacock feathers. There was also a huge peacock egg: Tom Kaulitz was in the white shell. However, there wasn’t much to see of the Tokio Hotel guitarist. Just a small hole for the eyes, nose and mouth and two openings for the white arms.

Perhaps Klum’s strangest appearance was as a giant worm in 2022. There was a fishing hook in the thick tail end of the costume, while Kaulitz held the other end of the fishing rod in his hand as a creepy fisherman. Before that, Klum had already been transformed into a werewolf or a significantly older version of herself.
