STORYLINE:
Janelle Monáe transformed into E.T. for their Halloween party at haunted house attraction Monáe Manor in Los Angeles, Thursday, wearing two looks inspired by the famous movie alien.
The Grammy-nominated recording artist and actor waddled on their knees inside a head to toe prosthetic costume, with animatronic eyes, to pose with invited party guests as the beloved space visitor from Steven Spielberg’s 1982 classic "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial."
Later in the evening, a taller recreation of the character allowed Monáe to freely walk and dance. Both version featured E.T. in his best tuxedo.
On the opposite coast, Heidi Klum debuted a similar idea, wearing an E.T. costume with a nod to the dress up scene from the movie, complete with blond wig and hat, to her annual Halloween party, alongside husband Tom Kaulitz.
But while fans and onlookers have been going back and forth over "who wore it best," Monáe insisted there isn’t a rivalry.
"There can be two Hallo-queens. I love Heidi," they told The Associated Press, while mimicking E.T’s voice.
Monáe revealed their E.T. costume on Wednesday on “The Jennifer Hudson Show.” They also did an elaborate photo shoot posted on Instagram, appearing riding a bike with E.T. in a basket on front, an homage to one of the most iconic moments of Spielberg’s film.
The recording artist told People Magazine that the costume was two years in the making.
