Heidi Klum unveils her 2024 Halloween costume: ET in drag

Heidi Klum’s latest Halloween costume has finally been revealed!

Klum was unrecognizable as ET from Steven Spielberg’s 1982 film ET the extraterrestrialin the scene where he wears a hat, wig and skirt while playing dress-up with a young Drew Barrymore’s character Gertie. Klum’s husband, Tom Kaulitz, was ET without the clothes. What made things especially disturbing was that their eyes could be seen peeking out from the creatures’ necks.

The America has talent Judge is known for her love of the spooky holiday. She regularly hosts a star-studded bash in an elaborate costume. For the past ten years she has dressed up as a peacock, a worm and Fiona Shrek.

As she does annually, the supermodel teased fans throughout the day with peeks at her appearance. In her first, she said her costume was “a year in the making.”

Klum wasn’t the only celebrity to wear an elaborate ET costume this year, as singer and actress Janelle Monáe also dressed up as a deeply disturbing replica of the beloved alien when she appeared on The Jennifer Hudson Show Wednesday and in a series of photos on her Instagram account.

Although Klum’s costume was impressive as usual, she was nervous about taking it off.

“I always get anxious,” Klum told PEOPLE this week of her Halloween looks. “Because there’s no real trial. Like, I can’t do any real adjustment until I’m in it. Because I never know if it works until the day (of). And then you know, and then something happens and I’ve like, ‘Oh god.'”

Klum cited dressing up as an apple in 2006 as one of the times her costume didn’t work. Seal, who was her husband at the time, went as Eva.

“Because I was nine months pregnant and I wanted to make sure nothing could hurt the baby or anything,” she explained of the choice. “So I thought about being this big apple, but then we forgot how to get to the party?”

Her team made it happen.

“Look, I didn’t fit in anywhere, so I couldn’t get through a normal car door,” Klum said. “So at the last minute they had to get me a convertible so I could even get in the car and drive there.”

Planning for next year’s costume will begin immediately, Klum told the Associated Press on Wednesday.

“It always has to be different,” Klum said. “Very different.”
