Unimaginable Halloween: Janelle Monáe’s Iconic E.T. Costume Stuns Fans

Halloween is a time for creativity, and some stars exceed all expectations. Megan Thee Stallion recently wowed in her Starfire ensemble. However, another celebrity outshines many each year—Janelle Monáe. Celebrated for her jaw-dropping costumes, Monáe never fails to leave an impression. Her transformation into the Batman villain Two-Face in 2018 set high standards.

Since debuting as Two-Face, Monáe’s Halloween repertoire has been impressive. She’s become the Grinch, a Frankenstein version, Diva Plavalaguna from "The Fifth Element," and Alice’s White Rabbit. But this year, Monáe took her costume game to new heights. She portrayed a disturbingly accurate version of E.T., the Extra-Terrestrial, leaving fans both enchanted and unnerved.

Appearing on The Jennifer Hudson Show in late October, she unveiled her meticulously detailed E.T. costume. Monáe’s artistry even amazed the host, taking her creativity beyond the screen. Her social media showcased a photo where she channeled E.T.’s best friend, Elliot. Monáe flawlessly recreated the iconic moonlit bicycle scene from the 1982 Spielberg classic.

In the caption of her captivating Instagram post, Monáe quipped, “You finally came home. Welcome back E.T. Thank you, Google Maps.” She added humor with the words, “Starring yours truly as both E.T. & Janellllliott.” Beyond boasting awe-inspiring costumes, Monáe’s love for the spooky season is legendary.

This year, she hosted AMC’s FearFest, emphasizing her passion for horror. Monáe’s affinity for all things macabre even extended to a unique Los Angeles Haunted Hayride attraction, dubbed Monáe Manor. Her E.T. creation might seem unbeatable, yet one can only imagine what she’ll dream up next year.

Janelle Monáe masterfully blurs the line between costume and art, keeping Halloween as thrilling as ever. While E.T. might not scream horror, he undeniably steals the spotlight as a beloved Halloween icon. Season after season, Monáe proves Halloween is her playground—an eerie yet delightful spectacle we eagerly anticipate.
