For the 23rd time, supermodel Heidi Klum (51) unleashes her annual Halloween party – a star-studded event that never fails to make headlines.
Unrecognizable again
Every year there is excitement about what kind of creature the German model will appear as.
In 2023, Klum surprised everyone as a giant peacock, and in previous years she has shocked as everything from a worm, Jessica Rabbit, to Fiona from “Shrek”.
“The Queen of Halloween” did not disappoint this year either.
This year’s party is currently being held at the Hard Rock Hotel in New York, where the star revealed her secret costume last night.
Together with her husband Tom Kaulitz, she opted for a costume inspired by the film classic “E.T.” - more specifically from the scene where the character is dressed in human clothes.

This has gone down well with fans. At the time of writing, the post has garnered 1.4 million likes.
