Look of the Week: Heidi Klum arrives at annual Halloween bash in elaborate E.T. costume

Heidi Klum phone home. The most hotly anticipated costume of the spooky season is here — and the “Queen of Halloween” didn’t disappoint. Continuing her tradition of wearing wildly elaborate outfits to her own star-studded annual bash, Klum arrived at this year’s party dressed as E.T. The 51-year-old model made a dramatic entrance at New York’s Hard Rock Hotel, her face peeking out from the extraterrestrial’s neck beneath an animatronic head that blinked and moved its mouth. With the costume’s feet at knee-level, an elevated stage (and smoke machine) helped give the appearance that Klum was walking around on E.T.’s characteristically stumpy legs. The former Victoria’s Secret Angel completed the look with an outsized wig, dress and lipstick — a nod to when Drew Barrymore’s character, Gertie, dresses the alien up in Steven Spielberg’s 1982 movie “E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.” Klum’s husband, Tom Kaulitz, also attended the party as E.T., with his wig-less costume completing a his-and-hers of sorts (though Spielberg has long maintained that the character is neither male nor female).
