Klum's old lady getup was to shut naysayers up

Supermodel Heidi Klum says she dressed like an old woman on her Halloween party to silence the people, who questioned her about growing old.

Klum turned 40 this year in June and was tired of people asking her if she felt old.

"There was so much talk about me turning 40 this year and what it felt like to be older. I thought, really? I will show you old," people.com quoted Klum as saying.

The model had a bald cap with a grey wig, varicose veins all over her legs, wrinkled prosthetics and a hunched spine as she got clicked on the orange carpet.

She took help of Oscar-winning makeup artist Bill Corso for the makeover.

"The rest of my ideas - the grey hair, yellow-stained teeth, lots of wrinkles, a hunchback, arthritic hands, age spots and milky eyes - he just made it happen," she said.
