We've certainly seen some stellar celebrity Halloween costumes so far this year (did you see Elsa Hosk as Princess Diana?), but no one can outdo Heidi Klum. She's long been associated with October 31st because of her delightfully over-the-top, painstakingly accurate costumes that typically require hours upon hours in the hair and makeup chair. Luckily for us, this year was no exception.

Attending her 23rd annual Halloween party in New York City tonight, Klum dressed as E.T. from Steven Spielberg's cult-classic 1982 movie E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. According to The New York Times, Klum's motorized headpiece is remote-controlled, allowing the eyes and mouth to move. Klum shared a video on Instagram depicting the extravagant costume in motion. Scroll down to see photos of Heidi Klum's highly anticipated 2024 Halloween costume and revisit some of her best looks from past years.

Associate Director, Fashion News

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
