    Check out her costume, plus a glimpse into the party

    NEW YORK – Heidi-ween proved once again that she is the mother of all spooky seasonal parties.

    Heidi Klum’s famous fright festival took place for the 23rd time on Thursday with bizarre costumes, famous guests and candy-flavored cocktails. A who’s who of stars walked the black carpet at the Hard Rock Hotel in the heart of Times Square, from Barney (the real one) to “Grease” characters Sandy and Danny (Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes in a couples costume.)

    The big reveal came later when Klum herself emerged from the background behind the carpet with her husband Tom Kaulitz. The pair found themselves side by side in a sunken ditch of leaves, dressed as figures from an iconic, not-so-scary alien movie.

    Klum was dressed as ET – well, one version of ET. Her husband was the original character, while she appeared to be E.T. in the scene where he wears a blonde wig. Mr. and Mrs. ET, if you please.

    “People want to be cool, but I feel like that takes away the cool factor and everyone has more fun when you’re dressed up,” Klum told USA TODAY earlier this week about her approach to costumes.

    And sure enough, the model’s outfit left no sign of runway glamour. In its place was a gigantic alien head, so lifelike that its eyes twitched and its mouth moved. Klum and Kaulitz’s real faces were buried somewhere in the necks of the costumes, but they managed a few hugs while the cameras flashed.

    Klum’s daughter Leni also graced the carpet, briefly posing with her mother in a chromatic alien outfit.

    Inside the party, candelabras provided muted lighting and cobwebs stretched along the stairs separating the bar from the dance floor in the space, which was decked out in Gothic style for the occasion.

    Partygoers in stilt-like heels and technicolor grand pianos mingled as DJ Questlove spun pop classics, the walls vibrated with the bass of Gwen Stefani and Lizzo classics, and in a corner booth Bethenny Frankel, dressed in a Wonder Woman suit, turned to the beat with one foot on the table.

    The drink of the night was a Butterfinger-tini, a Halloween candy-inspired cocktail with crispy nougat instead of salt on the rim. “You don’t taste the alcohol as much,” Klum said of the drink. “Anything that can be disguised in terms of alcohol, I’m down.”

    Who was invited to Heidi Klum’s Halloween party?

    This year’s bash has been a staple of the celeb party circuit for years and had no shortage of notable attendees.

    Disney Channel veterans Aly and AJ Michalka came dressed in 1920s-inspired clown costumes.

    “This is a 4.5 hour party,” AJ Michalka said of their appearance, noting that their get-ready soundtrack was Kim Petras’ mixtape “Turn Off the Light.” “It took a while to find these costumes.”

    Country star Kelsea Ballerini and her boyfriend Chase Stokes also walked the carpet. Dressed as Danny Zucco and the ‘evil’ Sandy from ‘Grease’, the two reenacted the final scene of the film, smoking cigarettes under the heel and all.

    Jackie Tohn, who plays Esther in Netflix’s hit series ‘Nobody Wants This’, was left in awe as she walked the carpet when she discovered Barney behind her, dressed in a pumpkin costume. She took a short break to take a selfie and call herself a big fan.

    Other partygoers included Olympian Suni Lee, who came dressed as a ballerina, and Nicole Scherzinger, who arrived straight from the set of her new Broadway show “Sunset Boulevard” with fake blood dripping down her neck.

    Klum loves that visitors get into the mood as much as she does. But the model says it will never remain a mystery for long because she has an uncanny ability to see through even the best disguises.

    “I like finding out where all my friends are,” she says, “just because it’s always a guessing game.”

    Heidi Klum reminisces about her first Halloween party

    Klum started hosting the party in 2000.

    Over the years, she has dabbled in sometimes shape-shifting disguises that elevate costuming to an art form. In 2022, she was unrecognizable on the carpet as a worm, and in 2015, she relied heavily on prosthetics for a Jessica Rabbit costume.

    Klum told USA TODAY that every costume has a special place in her heart, but that she especially loved dressing as an alien.

    “People could come and watch all day,” she said, explaining that she displayed the process in the window of Amazon Books in Manhattan so passersby could experience the hours-long transformation.
