Janelle Monae embodied both Elliott and E.T. from ‘E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial’ for Halloween 2024

Janelle Monáe brought E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial to life with her Halloween costume — and won the holiday for her commitment to detail.

The actress, however, took it a step further by also getting into an E.T. bodysuit and becoming the memorable extra-terrestrial for her photo shoot. “This is probably one of my more difficult costumes to pull off because E.T. is a little guy. I'm short, but I'm not that short,” Monáe revealed. “So we had to really build the inside out so that I could, you know, be as comfortable as possible.

“The things that I really was excited about and out about was making the finger glow … making the heart glow, and we have the eyes to blink and move around,” she told Us. “That to me, took it to the next level and all of the pain of getting into it washed away.” “I like to get really creative and all the ideas that I've had lurking in the back of my mind are unleashed on Halloween,” Monáe shared. “I think it also gives the rest of the world permission to step outside of the person that they have to perform every single day and allow themselves to be silly, to be scary, to be angelic as long as you're not hurting anybody, really exploring what it means to be and exude another spirit in something else.

She partnered with AMC Networks and Fear Fest throughout the month to promote all-things Halloween — and worked with Basil Hayden to create specialty cocktails for Thursday’s party.
