Heidi Klum’s NYC Halloween Party 2024 Updates: See Her E.T. Costume

The costumes kept coming.

Marc Jacobs and Charly Defrancesco wore costumes with elaborate prosthetics.

Danna Paola was La Calavera Catrina, the icon for the Day of the Dead, a Mexican holiday that takes place on Nov. 1 and 2.

Mario Cantone was a friendly devil.

Ice-T and his wife Coco Austin appeared to be something out of a slasher.

Model and former pageant queen Haley Kalil was “The Corpse Bride” from Tim Burton’s movie of the same name.

TikToker Emma Norton was a reworked version of Lord Farquaad from “Shrek.”

Like Charli D’Amelio, Olympic gymnast Sunisa Lee and her sister Shyenne Lee were inspired by the movie “Black Swan” for their costumes.

YouTuber Meghan Camarena paid homage to the “Encanto” character Bruno, whose identity is unpacked in the jam “We Don’t Talk About Bruno.”

The costume also came with Bruno’s signature pet rat.

Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes were one hot duo. The couple arrived to Klum’s extravaganza dressed as iconic love birds Sandy Olsson and Danny Zuko from “Grease.” The characters were played by John Travolta and the late Olivia Newton-John.

The two appeared to get in character on the red carpet. Stokes put his arms around Ballerini with a cigarette dangling in his mouth — peak Danny Zuko.

Before the party, Ballerini shared a sneak peek at her flirty look, captioning it, “Happy Halloween, studs.”

Ballerini previously told Teen Vogue that she and Stokes had originally planned on dressing as Moo Deng the pygmy hippo and Pesto the penguin.

“I felt good about Pesto, but then I just felt like it was going to be very sweaty and moist,” Ballerini said. Instead, they opted for an easier costume to just have fun.

“(Chase and I are) both in such a full sprint right now. We’re running in these parallels,” she told the magazine. “Let’s just dress up and go have so much fun for a night and be out of work mode a little bit.”

Charli D’Amelio, one of the most-followed TikTokers on the platform, made an appearance dressed as Natalie Portman’s character in the 2010 movie “Black Swan.”

The dance tie-in is fitting: D’Amelio made her Broadway debut earlier this week in a dance-heavy ensemble role in “& Juliet.”

…an insect?

Leni Klum, Heidi Klum’s daughter, wore antennas and large black patches that made her eyes take on the look of a fly’s.

In short, she made a fly look fly.

Leni and Heidi Klum, plus Kaulitz, stood for a family photo — even if they all were unrecognizable.

Heidi Klum promised and she delivered.

She came to her party dressed as E.T., the main character in Steven Spielberg’s 1982 movie “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.”

Her costume is inspired by the scene that E.T. dresses in human clothes, lipstick and all.

Her husband, Tom Kaulitz, joined in on the fun. He also was E.T., but at a different moment in the movie.

Their costumes took on similar structures. Klum and Kaulitz’s eyes poked out of the costumes’ necks. The aliens’ heads were like elaborate hats.

Last year, Klum was a peacock and Kaulitz, a giant egg.

Journalist Tamsen Fadal is the author of a book about menopause — and she’s taking her advocacy to Heidi Klum’s Halloween party.

She dressed as a “hot flash,” a common symptom of perimenopause. She wore an all-red outfit, wig included, and a dress with the words “hot flash.” Her fan said, “Coming in hot.”

According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, 80% of women experience hot flashes during perimenopause.

Questlove is among the DJs for the evening, along with Gottmik & Violet.

For his third Heidi Klum Halloween party in a row, Questlove came dressed as the Mad Hatter.

YouTuber Joey Graceffa may have read “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” as a kid … or maybe he just likes fauns.

Either way, he showed up to Klum’s Halloween party as Mr. Tumnas, the friendly guide to Narnia, complete with his umbrella and scarf. All that’s missing is snow (and maybe some Turkish delight).

Bethenny Frankel posted getting ready videos of her blue contacts. Now, we have the final product.

Frankel dressed up as the DC Comics character Wonder Woman, wearing red, white and blue and a headband fit for an Amazon.

What came first, the costume or the egg?

Contortionist and “AGT” alum Sofie Dossi arrived with influencer Zach Justice in a transformative costume. Dossi was wrapped up in an egg and then popped out as a chicken. Justice was dressed as Colonel Sanders.

Beware, chicken!

Klum livestreamed her “getting ready with me” process on Amazon. Below, find pictures of her transformation.She’s being swaddled by a costume — but what is it?

“I don’t tell anyone. I love the surprise part of it all,” she said.

Bethenny Frankel posted a behind-the-scenes video ahead of the party.

For her look, she wore colored contacts that turned her brown eyes into a mix of green, blue and hazel.

“I look like a Siberian husky,” she declared as she looked at herself.

Singer Angelina Jordan channeled “Squid Game” for her Halloween costume, which was shared on Klum’s Instagram story.

She’s dressed as a participant and is accompanied by one of the show’s lethal guards.

The “Queer Eye” star and hair dresser posted a video to his Instagram story in the hours before Klum’s party of a drastic step he was taking for Halloween: Shaving his beard.

“I’m fully committing,” he said.

As he shaved, Van Ness provided live commentary of his reaction to the falling hair strands. “Oh my God, I’m going to have to look at myself with no beard. I look so crazy with no beard,” he said, ending with a final statement: “That’s outrageous.”

In the final video, a bare-faced Van Ness got ready with his glam squad. “Everyone’s here but my beard is not,” he said.

Without giving away their costumes, he also showed his husband, Mark Peacock, getting ready by painting pumps lavender.

There are countless Halloween past time.s Some people go trick or treating. Other people lay in wait for Heidi Klum’s Halloween costume.

“Actually won’t be able to sleep until I’ve seen Heidi Klum’s Halloween costume and I feel like that really says a lot about me as a person,” one X user broke.

“Impatiently waiting for Heidi Klum’s costume reveal,” another wrote.

“need to know what heidi klum is for halloween this year,” another said, joining the choir.

Klum shared a video of her husband, Tokio Hotel guitarist Tom Kaulitz, getting ready for Halloween.

The video doesn’t have much of a clue as to the final product, but is a glimpse into the process.

He wears a hair net in the video, with his long hair tumbling out at the bottom. A makeup or prosthetics artist applies a type of wax to his mustache.

“He is such a good sport,” Klum captioned the video.

The angles keep coming on Klum’s elaborate costume. Each of them is more mysterious and perplexing than the last. What is it?

The costume made its debut on Klum’s Instagram at about 1 p.m. on Halloween.

“And here we go…” she wrote, paired with a video close-up of her prosthetics. She tagged prosthetic designer Mike Marino, who was also in the photo.

Klum dropped a hint about her costume in an interview with TODAY.com earlier this month.

“It will be outerworldly,” she said, “and there will be a lot of prosthetics again. I’m claustrophobic just thinking about it.”

Klum told TODAY.com in a previous interview that the costumes are not optional.

“If I’m the host of this party, I have to come up with some outrageous costumes and make it mandatory that people are dressed or they can’t get into the party,” she said.

Klum’s daughter, Leni Klum, made her debut at the party in 2022 as Catwoman and was Strawberry Shortcake the following year. She’s confirmed to be on this year’s guest list, as is Klum’s husband, Tom Kaulitz.

Questlove and Gottmik & Violet will DJ. Other guests include, per a press release:

• Kelsea Ballerini
• Chase Stokes
• Suni Lee
• Emily Ratajkowski
• Adam Lambert
• Chloe Bailey
• Aly and AJ Michalka
• Jonathan Van Ness
• Ava Max
• Bethenny Frankel
• Marc Jacobs
• Thomas Doherty
• Stella Maxwell
• Leah Kateb of “Love Island USA”

Speaking to TODAY.com in a previous interview, Klum said she started a Halloween party because she wanted to cultivate the spirit of dress-up.

“I’m in New York City, the coolest city on the planet, and I have no idea where to go, what party is happening. And then you go to a party and no one is dressing up because everyone is too cool for school,” she said.

Since 2000, costumes for Klum and guests have grown more elaborate.

“I feel like I gave them the opportunity to go for it, and I think people love it because they love playing a different part and also just showcasing creativity,” she said.

According to a press release from Klum’s team, the Halloween party red carpet will begin at 9 p.m. ET and run until 11:30 p.m.

The event is held at the Hard Rock Hotel New York, located in Midtown Manhattan.
