Ugh, Janelle Monae is so good on Halloween

There's a certain kind of celebrity that we both fear and admire because they're able to marshal incredible resources in pursuit of a truly silly goal: becoming the ultimate Halloween person. While the variety of your backyard Halloween persona is limited by things like budget, the capacity of the local power grid, and the number of 12-foot skeletons the nearest hardware stores have in stock, the famous Halloween persona can be made with basically no restrictions function. This is how you get Heidi Klum as a worm; Here's how to get actress and musician Janelle Monae's collected Halloween achievements. Who may have really outdone herself this year by posting photos of herself on Instagram AND Costume that is so accurate that, much like the original, it is really hard to see.

As you know, a costume is that well thought out when it arrives, accompanied by a list of credits: Monae posts on Instagram thanking set designers, photographers, stylists and more for the photoset, which features her as both the alien himself and his little buddy Elliott. (Plus, there's a shot of ET dressed as the pretty lady from the movie, which we thought necessitated a mention of the “custom hat.”) The point is, Monae, who previously appeared as the blue diva on Halloween lady out The fifth elementthe Grinch's daughter, that fly that landed on Mike Pence's head that one time, and more not Do something Halloween-themed. (If you want to go deeper, she gave an interview earlier this month THR about her devotion to the holiday, calling her costumes “performance art” and suggesting that she has a “Halloween fairy godmother” who funds her incredibly lavish productions.)

It's your turn, Klum.
