The Queen of Halloween's Legendary Parties

Since hosting her first Halloween bash in 2000, Heidi Klum has turned the annual event into a full-blown spectacle. She has transformed into increasingly elaborate characters every year. Her past looks have included a sultry Jessica Rabbit, a dazzling peacock, and even a grotesque giant worm.

The festivities only paused in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Last year, Klum and her husband Tom Kaulitz wowed fans by dressing as E.T. and Elliott, paying homage to the beloved 1982 classic.

“I knew I wanted to do something nostalgic,” Klum told Vogue. “I started going down memory lane, thinking about which dolls I played with, what movies I watched, and what some of my favorite childhood memories were.”

She revealed that the idea came after finding a mini figurine of E.T., one of her favorite characters growing up.

“It’s my favorite childhood movie of all time – I watched it a million times,” she added. “It’s a movie that inspired me to dream and imagine the possibility of life beyond Earth."
