Heidi Klum addresses negative criticism over her bold fashion

Heidi Klum has recently addressed fashion critics, saying she’s not shied about her “femininity”.

In a new interview with The Times, Heidi said, “I’m not shy about my femininity.”

“I love dressing up where I have my cleavage showing, wearing miniskirts, high heels, gorgeous stockings — but that doesn’t mean I want to go home with you,” stated the 51-year-old.

Heidi noted that style is an extension of her personality.

“I want to have fun and show my body, but I have boundaries, as do all women,” remarked the German supermodel.

Elsewhere in the interview, Heidi recalled how her childhood influenced her interest in fashion.

“There’s this carnival in Cologne every year and I used to go on the float. My grandmother was a seamstress, so I always had lots of outfits, or my mum would make something for me and my Barbie to match, which is amazing as Mattel rang me one day and I have my own Barbie now,” explained the America’s Got Talent judge.

Heidi, who received iconic doll in 2009, shared one thing about the dolls she could not let it go.

She told the outlet, “It always bugged me that they were naked. I didn’t like how none of them wore any underwear, it’s undignified.”

“Mine has a cute pair of pink knickers and a bra painted on. I’m very proud of that,” she added.

Meanwhile, the former Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover girl also became famous for her Halloween costumes which had been bold and extravagant. This year, Heidi went for E.T. look.
