Heidi Klum unrecognisable as geriatric Halloween party host

Supermodel-turned-TV personality Heidi Klum almost went completely unrecognised as she hit the red carpet at her annual Halloween party in New York after donning prosthetics to transform herself into a senior citizen.

The German stunner, famed for her elaborate Halloween costumes, gave fans a glimpse into her future on Thursday (31Oct13) after pulling off the stunt with the help of her team of make-up and costume professionals.

The 40 year old shared photos of her party preparation on her Instagram.com page, showing her tucking her long blonde hair into a bald cap as experts applied prosthetics to her face and neck to simulate wrinkles. She donned a stringy gray wig and even had spider veins and liver spots airbrushed onto her arms and legs for the full effect.

Explaining her costume in the caption to one photo, she wrote, "Ok guys... I am going into the future."

She later posted a picture of herself with her boyfriend, Martin Kirsten, at the Marquee nightclub, where she partied with guests including actress Tika Sumpter, rapper/actor Ice-T and his wife Coco Austin.

Klum previously hosted the popular Halloween bash dressed up as a skeleton, an alien robot and Egyptian queen Cleopatra.
