Heidi Klum celebrates 50th birthday in barely-there beaded gown

Heidi Klum is roaring into her next decade.

The supermodel celebrated her 50th birthday with a glamorous Gatsby-inspired bash Thursday, and selected a fittingly over-the-top (and era-appropriate) outfit for the occasion.

In a group photo shared on Instagram Friday by fashion designer Peter Dundas’ husband, Evangelo Bousis, Klum showed off her flapper-worthy sheer gown dripping with silvery sequins and crystal fringe, presumably Dundas’ handiwork.

She accessorized her skin-baring birthday dress with a bejeweled headpiece and metallic eye makeup to match.

Klum’s famous friends also dressed on theme for her big night, with Sofia Vergara picking a plunging beaded gown by Reem Acra accented with an embellished headband, fluffy white stole and dramatic diamond earrings.

“Feliz cumpleaños to one of my favorite people in the whole wile [sic] world!!” Vergara captioned a selfie with the woman of the hour.

In another Instagram post filled with snaps from the lavish soirée, the “Modern Family” actress showed off Klum’s enormous copper-colored Art Deco cake.

Klum’s daring birthday gown should come as no surprise; when she’s not wowing fans with her ever-wilder Halloween costumes, the German-American beauty is taking major risks on the red carpet, often showing up in designer styles that reveal more than they conceal.

For more Page Six Style ..


At last month’s Cannes Film Festival, she turned heads in a high-slit yellow Zuhair Murad gown complete with a cleavage-baring cutout.

And at February’s Grammys, Klum went for a dangerously low-cut design by The Blonds completely covered in dangling chains.

She may now be in her 50s, but we suspect the “America’s Got Talent” judge’s boldest style statements are still to come.
