Every Halloween, fans eagerly await Heidi Klum’s next costume reveal. In previous years, she has wowed with elaborate outfits, such as her transformation into a peacock with dancers as her wings and a literal worm costume. This year, she surprised everyone by dressing as E.T. from the classic 1982 film, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, alongside her partner Tom Kaulitz.
Her choice to embody the iconic alien character was driven by her affection for the film, stating that E.T. is “part of most of our lives,” as reported by PEOPLE. However, this year, she found herself sharing the spotlight with another celebrity sporting the same extraterrestrial look.
Janelle Monáe, known for her own impressive Halloween costumes like the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland and Jim Carrey in The Mask, also embraced the E.T. theme. She presented her costume on The Jennifer Hudson Show and posted images of herself reenacting the famous bicycle scene from the film, dressed as both E.T. and Elliot.
Social media was abuzz with users commenting on the coincidence. Some speculated on Klum’s potential reaction to Monáe’s similar costume, while others expressed amusement at the situation.
When asked about the unexpected twinning, Monáe assured that she has great admiration for Klum, saying, “Oh, there can be two HalloQueens, I love Heidi.” Klum also responded positively, expressing her satisfaction with her E.T. costume, which she had been planning for a year due to her long-standing love of the movie.
The internet remains divided on who wore it best, leaving fans to decide who takes the Halloween crown.
