Heidi Klum shared her thoughts on plastic surgery in a candid interview, and opened up about her approach to aging in the spotlight.
The Victoria’s Secret alum has been a staple of the modeling industry for decades and shared that she was open to the idea of cosmetic enhancements.
Beauty at any age
“I’m all for Botox,” Heidi told People. “Whoever wants to talk about [plastic surgery] and wants to share, give me all the numbers.”
She added that society needed to understand that aging was a gift, and a natural part of life that needed to be discussed more openly.
“The biggest misconception [about] being in your 50s is that you are off the shelf. You’re not off the shelf,” she said. “We are very much on that shelf for everyone to see. Don’t hide in your 50s.”

Heidi explained that aging was worthy of celebration, and that she couldn’t wait to reach her twilight years.
“I’m already looking at 60 and 70, hopefully 80 and 90. And if we’re still kicking it then, let’s celebrate,” she said.

“For me to be older, it doesn’t matter. I don’t have this age-shaming or body-shaming thing. I feel like everyone should do what they want to do,” the TV personality said.
“Now it’s okay to be older — but it didn’t use to be like that. I feel like we’re more welcoming of wrinkles and rolls on our body. Being accepted at every age is amazing. That we’ve changed and come all that way.”
Supermodel secrets

“Nothing [about my skin] really bothers me. I mean, it’s aging. It definitely has changed over the years, but it’s not bothering me. It’s just the course of life, that the skin ages,” she said. “I try my best to keep it as glowing and healthy as possible, with the topical creams that I use, but also with [how I eat].”
She added that it was “so important” to have a healthy diet to keep skin, nails and hair looking shiny and strong.

Heidi is returning to Project Runway after stepping back from the show in 2017. She now joins Nina Garcia and Christian Siriano, as well as celebrity stylist Law Roach, on the judging panel of the hit show.
