We’re talking about Bruno

YouTuber Meghan Camarena paid homage to the “Encanto” character Bruno, whose identity is unpacked in the jam “We Don’t Talk About Bruno.”

The costume also came with Bruno’s signature pet rat.

Chase Stokes and Kelsea Ballerini debut a couple’s coustume

Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes were one hot duo. The couple arrived to Klum’s extravaganza dressed as iconic love birds Sandy Olsson and Danny Zuko from “Grease.” The characters were played by John Travolta and the late Olivia Newton-John.

The two appeared to get in character on the red carpet. Stokes put his arms around Ballerini with a cigarette dangling in his mouth — peak Danny Zuko.

Before the party, Ballerini shared a sneak peek at her flirty look, captioning it, “Happy Halloween, studs.”

Ballerini previously told Teen Vogue that she and Stokes had originally planned on dressing as Moo Deng the pygmy hippo and Pesto the penguin.

“I felt good about Pesto, but then I just felt like it was going to be very sweaty and moist,” Ballerini said. Instead, they opted for an easier costume to just have fun.

“(Chase and I are) both in such a full sprint right now. We’re running in these parallels,” she told the magazine. “Let’s just dress up and go have so much fun for a night and be out of work mode a little bit.”

Charli D’Amelio is the Black Swan

Charli D’Amelio, one of the most-followed TikTokers on the platform, made an appearance dressed as Natalie Portman’s character in the 2010 movie “Black Swan.”

The dance tie-in is fitting: D’Amelio made her Broadway debut earlier this week in a dance-heavy ensemble role in “& Juliet.”

For her third Halloween party appearance, Leni Klum is…

…an insect?

Leni Klum, Heidi Klum’s daughter, wore antennas and large black patches that made her eyes take on the look of a fly’s.

In short, she made a fly look fly.

Heidi Klum reveals her Halloween costume at last – and it is ‘outerworldly’ indeed

Heidi Klum promised and she delivered.

She came to her party dressed as E.T., the main character in Steven Spielberg’s 1982 movie “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.”

Her costume is inspired by the scene that E.T. dresses in human clothes, lipstick and all.

Her husband, Tom Kaulitz, joined in on the fun. He also was E.T., but at a different moment in the movie.

Their costumes took on similar structures. Klum and Kaulitz’s eyes poked out of the costumes’ necks. The aliens’ heads were like elaborate hats.

Last year, Klum was a peacock and Kaulitz, a giant egg.

Tamsen Fadal wears a menopause-themed costume

Journalist Tamsen Fadal is the author of a book about menopause — and she’s taking her advocacy to Heidi Klum’s Halloween party.

She dressed as a “hot flash,” a common symptom of perimenopause. She wore an all-red outfit, wig included, and a dress with the words “hot flash.” Her fan said, “Coming in hot.”

According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, 80% of women experience hot flashes during perimenopause.

Joey Graceffa finds his inner Mr. Tumnas

YouTuber Joey Graceffa may have read “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” as a kid … or maybe he just likes fauns.

Either way, he showed up to Klum’s Halloween party as Mr. Tumnas, the friendly guide to Narnia, complete with his umbrella and scarf. All that’s missing is snow (and maybe some Turkish delight).

Sofie Dossi and Zach Justice stun with a creative KFC-themed costume

What came first, the costume or the egg?

Contortionist and “AGT” alum Sofie Dossi arrived with influencer Zach Justice in a transformative costume. Dossi was wrapped up in an egg and then popped out as a chicken. Justice was dressed as Colonel Sanders.

Beware, chicken!

‘Squid Game’ is in the building, thanks to Angelina Jordan

Singer Angelina Jordan channeled “Squid Game” for her Halloween costume, which was shared on Klum’s Instagram story.

She’s dressed as a participant and is accompanied by one of the show’s lethal guards.

The trailer for “Squid Game” Season 2 dropped earlier today. In a TikTok, Jordan runs down a hallway with a bit more joy than a character on the show might.

Jordan and Klum first met when Jordan competed on “America’s Got Talent.” Klum gave Jordan the Golden Buzzer during her stunning audition of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

Klum told NBC Insider this year that the two are “still friends.”

“She comes and visits me sometimes,” Klum said. “I always post about her because I think she’s such an amazing talent.” 

Jordan also posted lovingly of Klum, writing next to a selfie of the two, “Can’t thank you enough for all the love that you have been given me. I love you very very much.”

Jonathan Van Ness completely shaves his beard ahead of Heidi Klum’s Halloween party

The “Queer Eye” star and hair dresser posted a video to his Instagram story in the hours before Klum’s party of a drastic step he was taking for Halloween: Shaving his beard.

“I’m fully committing,” he said.

As he shaved, Van Ness provided live commentary of his reaction to the falling hair strands. “Oh my God, I’m going to have to look at myself with no beard. I look so crazy with no beard,” he said, ending with a final statement: “That’s outrageous.”

In the final video, a bare-faced Van Ness got ready with his glam squad. “Everyone’s here but my beard is not,” he said.

Without giving away their costumes, he also showed his husband, Mark Peacock, getting ready by painting pumps lavender.

Anticipation builds for Heidi Klum’s costume

There are countless Halloween past time.s Some people go trick or treating. Other people lay in wait for Heidi Klum’s Halloween costume.

“Actually won’t be able to sleep until I’ve seen Heidi Klum’s Halloween costume and I feel like that really says a lot about me as a person,” one X user broke.

“Impatiently waiting for Heidi Klum’s costume reveal,” another wrote.

“need to know what heidi klum is for halloween this year,” another said, joining the choir.

‘He’s such a good sport’: Heidi Klum’s husband joins in on the Halloween fun

Klum shared a video of her husband, Tokio Hotel guitarist Tom Kaulitz, getting ready for Halloween.

The video doesn’t have much of a clue as to the final product, but is a glimpse into the process.

He wears a hair net in the video, with his long hair tumbling out at the bottom. A makeup or prosthetics artist applies a type of wax to his mustache.

“He is such a good sport,” Klum captioned the video.

What is this, now? Heidi shares an intriguing closeup

The angles keep coming on Klum’s elaborate costume. Each of them is more mysterious and perplexing than the last. What is it?

Heidi begins to tease her Halloween costume hours before the party begins

The costume made its debut on Klum’s Instagram at about 1 p.m. on Halloween.

“And here we go…” she wrote, paired with a video close-up of her prosthetics. She tagged prosthetic designer Mike Marino, who was also in the photo.

Klum, after 3 p.m., shared a photo of her hands. Long, red nails seemed to wrap around what looked like a … toe?

What has Heidi Klum said about her 2024 Halloween costume? Here’s a hint

Klum dropped a hint about her costume in an interview with TODAY.com earlier this month.

“It will be outerworldly,” she said, “and there will be a lot of prosthetics again. I’m claustrophobic just thinking about it.”

Who is on the guest list?

Klum told TODAY.com in a previous interview that the costumes are not optional.

“If I’m the host of this party, I have to come up with some outrageous costumes and make it mandatory that people are dressed or they can’t get into the party,” she said.

Klum’s daughter, Leni Klum, made her debut at the party in 2022 as Catwoman and was Strawberry Shortcake the following year. She’s confirmed to be on this year’s guest list, as is Klum’s husband, Tom Kaulitz.

Questlove and Gottmik & Violet will DJ. Other guests include, per a press release:

  • Kelsea Ballerini
  • Chase Stokes
  • Suni Lee
  • Emily Ratajkowski
  • Adam Lambert
  • Chloe Bailey
  • Aly and AJ Michalka
  • Jonathan Van Ness
  • Ava Max
  • Bethenny Frankel
  • Marc Jacobs
  • Thomas Doherty
  • Stella Maxwell
  • Leah Kateb of “Love Island USA”

Heidi Klum told us how the annual Halloween party started

Speaking to TODAY.com in a previous interview, Klum said she started a Halloween party because she wanted to cultivate the spirit of dress-up.

“I’m in New York City, the coolest city on the planet, and I have no idea where to go, what party is happening. And then you go to a party and no one is dressing up because everyone is too cool for school,” she said.

Since 2000, costumes for Klum and guests have grown more elaborate.

I feel like I gave them the opportunity to go for it, and I think people love it because they love playing a different part and also just showcasing creativity,” she said.


When and where is Heidi Klum’s Halloween party?

According to a press release from Klum’s team, the Halloween party red carpet will begin at 9 p.m. ET and run until 11:30 p.m.

The event is held at the Hard Rock Hotel New York, located in Midtown Manhattan.
