For scenes that required the animatronic E.T. puppet—like Elliott’s room and the family’s living room—Spielberg had the production designers build the sets raised on stilts. The heavy robotic puppet was bolted down, and its wiring was hidden under the floor. The puppeteers were able to observe and manage the puppet’s performance from a series of TV monitors located in another room. Honestly, a good pair of sweats. I recently found these these cashmere luxe sweats at Banana Republic. But really, my go-to is this huge T-shirt that I stole from three boyfriends ago. It's ratty and worn in, but when I put that thing on, I love it so much. It's so lived in and fantastic. I would never want to look at that person again, but that t-shirt is never going anywhere. On Her Personal Style:

Spielberg relays that sense of awe and wonderment of what it was like to be let free on Halloween and roam the neighborhood in search of candy by framing it through E.T.’s eyes. Through the little eyeholes of his ghostly sheet, we feel and see E.T’s curiosity. We feel his trying to make sense of the costumes, whether the more ghoulish costumes have “ouchies” or whether a young Yoda is a friend like him. It’s through Halloween that Spielberg nails that childhood magic and nostalgia. What would it feel like to be a kid again on Halloween? This scene sums it up.

Ladies’ occasion, daytime and work dresses As much of a tomboy as I am, I do love a pretty shoe. I'm a shoe girl; it doesn't matter if it's Steve Madden or Christian Louboutin. So, shoe game is always going to be tight. Always. In life, I'm much more of a flat and sneaker (Nike Air Max!) girl. On set, I'm a heel girl, all the way.I'm an earring girl now, which I never really was. My friend Simone Smith, LL Cool J's wife, has a great jewelry line. Whenever I wear Simone's jewelry, I feel like I'm making an LL video. What I've found is that if I put a little hoop in, it actually makes me look like I tried.

Daytime dresses Peter Coyote, who plays the sympathetic government agent Keys in E.T., auditioned for the role of Indiana Jones during a May 1980 casting session held by Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. Coyote, who was given snippets of the Raiders of the Lost Ark script along with a character outline of Indy, brought along a dashing fedora to accentuate his audition in hopes of wowing the two Hollywood heavyweights. But when he was told it was his turn to go, he tripped over the wiring of the lights that were set up in the room. His stumbling first impression was the furthest thing from the debonair, tough-guy Indy. The part went to Harrison Ford, but Spielberg found something endearing in Coyote's clumsiness, and when it came time to cast Keys—an adult with childlike wonderment—the choice was obvious. The lesson? Sometimes being awkward pays off! 6. The combination of a painting and photos of famous people inspired the look of E.T.

If I'm going to wear a designer, I like Theory, Calvin Klein, Helmut Lang. But I'm really getting into Zimmerman. It's more girly than I usually go for. I have three or four Zimmerman dresses right now that I just adore. The Shoes She Can't Live Without: All services are based on working days. Weekends, Bank Holidays and other closed days are not counted. Ruching generally does not work for me. I’m also not a girl who loves something that's bejeweled or adorned with a lot of stuff. That doesn't do it for me. And I am like, if I don't ever wear another cold shoulder, I would be too thrilled. What She Wears on Repeat:There is no one better suited for the job. Turner has been with the show for seven years (as a correspondent and weekend co-host) and, throughout her stint, has nabbed four Daytime Emmy Awards. Over the years, she's built a loyal celebrity fanbase, many of whom she regularly interviews, including Oprah, Gayle King, and Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. I have fought against what society thinks as female style for my entire life. My mother would always say, 'Oh my God, if you don't put some effort in...' When I was in junior high school and high school, I used to wear boxers and long johns, and I felt fine because of it. I liked to go against the grain. I think personal style is an extension of who you are. You see my style and I think that you can understand, oh, she's easy. It's simple, clean. And for me, that mirrors who I want to be in life. But there's a lot of structure to my style too, and that is very much who I am. I like organization. I like having a schedule and structure, and so that's what's reflected in my style.
