Heidi Klum’s Halloween bash is basically the Met Gala in monster makeup, and this year? She didn’t disappoint. The 51-year-old supermodel (who probably makes haunted houses run for their money every October) threw her annual Halloween rager Thursday night at The Venue on Music Row in New York City. Let’s just say, if you’re not invited, your costume budget is basically zero compared to what went down here. This year’s look? Oh, Heidi and her husband, Tom Kaulitz, came in full E.T. gear – we’re talking full “phone home” with extra glow-up.
If you’ve ever thought you were putting in too much effort with Halloween, Heidi’s party probably proves you’re not even close. Celebrities came ready to set new standards in spook-tacular fashion, with some attendees diving so deep into their costumes that the only thing scarier than their looks was probably their Uber bill getting home.
Let’s break down the celebrity guest list like it’s the trick-or-treat lineup of fame:
1. Heidi Klum & Tom Kaulitz: Honestly, E.T. was never this on point even in the 1980s. They committed so hard, the UFOs probably redirected to The Venue just to pick them up.
2. Aly & AJ Michalka: They might be in our throwback playlists, but tonight they’re a new Halloween anthem.
3. Bethenny Frankel: Showing up like a snack (or a whole four-course meal), we’re sure she brought some Real House Boo-swives energy.
4. Charli D’Amelio: If there was a TikTok dance-off at this party, Charli definitely took home the invisible trophy.
5. Chase Stokes & Kelsea Ballerini: This duo probably had more chemistry than any potion at the party. Outer Banks x Country Music Halloween crossover episode, anyone?
6. Eric Andre: Not sure if he wore a costume or if he just let his general chaos do the talking. Either way, it was… scary effective.
7. Ice-T & Coco Austin: They showed up icier than Elsa but way cooler. We’re still recovering.
8. Jason Tartick: He might be trying to play it safe post-Bachelorette, but we’re here for any look that didn’t require roses.
9. Jay Manuel: Bet you he came dressed like he just landed from Fashion Planet. And yes, it’s intimidating.
10. Joey Graceffa: You know it’s a real party when Joey’s there – even YouTube can’t keep up with him on Halloween.
11. Jonathan Cheban (aka Foodgod): Trick-or-treat, Foodgod brought the feast! Pretty sure everyone was hoping his costume was edible.
12. Jonathan Van Ness: Glam game stronger than a magic spell, JVN just served Halloween hair flips to the next level.
13. Larsen Thompson: Gave us choreography and costume vibes that might’ve raised the undead for a dance break.
14. Leni Klum: Proudly continuing the Klum dynasty of “oh my, that costume budget” – imagine getting a 101 course in Halloween from the Queen herself.
15. Marc Jacobs & Char Defrancesco: Fashion forward and ready to haunt in style. Runways shook.
16. Mario Cantone: You know he brought some sass to the séance – ready for his cameo in any horror film.
17. Nicole Scherzinger: If cats had nine lives, Nicole just danced her way through ten of them and left us spellbound.
18. Questlove: Can we just admit that even if he wore a potato sack, he’d still be the coolest person in the room?
19. Suni Lee & Shyenne Lee: No flips, just fierce. The gymnastics world isn’t ready for this double dose of Halloween spirit.
20. Violet Chachki & Gottmik: Turning the whole costume game into high art. Bow down, mortals – this is a masterclass.
And that’s not all – this party was a nonstop thriller from start to finish, with costumes so extra, Halloween might just take a break next year.
