Heidi Klum's 9 Best Halloween Costumes of All Time
No one puts more time and effort into their Halloween costumes than Heidi Klum.
We've certainly seen some stellar celebrity Halloween costumes over the years (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. A few days before this year's festivities, let's take a walk down memory lane, shall we?
Attending her 23rd annual Halloween party in New York City in 2024, for example, 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 was remote-controlled, allowing the eyes and mouth to move. Klum shared a video on Instagram depicting the extravagant costume in motion.
