Heidi Klum Unveils Her 2024 Halloween Costume, And It’s Out Of This World

Drumroll, please. Heidi Klum’s 2024 Halloween costume is… E.T.!
The supermodel, known for her impressively intricate Halloween getups, paid homage this year to the iconic title character from Steven Spielberg’s 1982 film “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.”
While she’s been doing extravagant costumes for years — see the giant worm of 2022 — she apparently had to do something this time around that she’s never done before: wear an adult diaper.
“Maybe I never need to use the diaper, but at least that way I don’t have to think about it,” Klum said, according to The New York Times, explaining that it’s hard to get in and out of the look.
Klum hosts a big Halloween bash in New York City every year. This year’s event was at the Hard Rock Hotel.
She told People magazine at the event that she chose the alien because it’s been “part of most of our lives” and she’s always been a big fan of the character.
Her husband, Tom Kaulitz, dressed up as E.T. with her. They started getting ready at 11 a.m., Klum said.
“[I] kind of thought about the universe in a different way and I thought E.T. was so cute and how he was wiggling around and all the moments when E.T. got dressed up with a wig and everything,” she told People. “So I just thought it would be fun to become E.T. and especially to see two.”
Singer and actor Janelle Monáe also dressed up as E.T. this year, in an elaborate getup that she said she’d been planning for two years.
