Heidi Klum was told she'd "won" Halloween after showing off her incredible outfit.
The 51-year-old model is known for going all out for the spooky holiday, and this year was no exception as she and husband Tom Kaulitz were completely uncreognisable when they stepped out onto the red carpet for her annual Halloween Party at Hard Rock Hotel New York: The Venue on Music Row on Thursday (October 31).
They stole the show as male and female versions of E.T, the alien character from classic 1982 movie. Heidi told People magazine she wanted to dress as the beloved alien as it had been "part of most of our lives" and she's always been "a big fan" of the film.

The America's Got Talent judge's elaborate outfit included a glowing fingertip and a motorised headpiece that allowed one of Heidi's team to control the moveable mouth and eyes remotely. Heidi event wore a diaper so she didn't have to risk going to the bathroom as the outfit was so difficult to put on and take off.
She told the New York Times: "Maybe I never need to use the diaper, but at least that way I don't have to think about it." The blonde beauty had had the idea for the costume for almost a year.
Heidi said: "They have no genitals. I like the whole idea of, like, we're all the same. [I] kind of thought about the universe in a different way and I thought E.T. was so cute and how he was wiggling around and all the moments when E.T. got dressed up with a wig and everything so I just thought it would be fun to become E.T. and especially to see two."
Fans absolutely loved Heidi's outfit and many thought it was the best of the lot. One wrote: "Queen of Halloween." Another said: "OMG U WON." A third wrote: "Best costume. What a queen."
The outfits were made by designer Mike Marino - who has worked on a number of Heidi's Halloween outfits over the years - using 3-D printing and had a zip from the top of the head to the middle of the spine, before being covered in more fake skin pieces to conceal the zip and seams.
Printed stills from the movie were on display during Heidi's costume fittings, as her team worked tirelessly with padding for her body, moulded skin pisses and a wig made from synthetic and human hair. Heidi and Tom weren't the only ones going as E.T for Halloween, as Janelle Monae also dressed as the alien, having spent two years planning it.
She told People magazine: "I've shared a costume idea with someone's team, actually, and tried to get a price for how much it would cost. And then I found out that person was going to be that and I had been planning this costume for two years."
