Supermodel Heidi Klum and her 21-year-old daughter Leni shared a heartwarming moment of connection as they prepared for Glamour's Women Of The Year awards in Berlin, Germany. The pair demonstrated their close relationship through an energetic dance routine that's currently trending across social media platforms.
Pre-Event Festivities Capture Attention
The 52-year-old America's Got Talent judge and her eldest child appeared in exceptionally good spirits as they danced to 4 Non Blondes' classic hit What's Up? Their playful performance saw both women standing back-to-back on a coffee table while taking turns lip-syncing to the lyrics.
Leni made a striking impression in a black scoop neck swimsuit, while Heidi showcased her famous figure in a eye-catching sequin leopard print minidress. Behind the scenes footage revealed their production team creating atmospheric effects using large lighting equipment and a hairdryer to capture the perfect social media content.
Red Carpet Elegance Following Playful Preparation
After their lively preparation session, the mother-daughter duo transformed their energy into sophisticated red carpet appearances at the glamorous Ritz Carlton venue. They posed side-by-side for photographers, flashing beaming smiles and sharing playful air kisses while wrapping their arms around each other in affectionate embraces.
This public display of family bonding comes at a time when both women have faced significant criticism from certain fans regarding their collaborative modelling work. Earlier this month, the pair posed together for lingerie brand Intermissi, showcasing their similar figures in coordinated ensembles.
Addressing Public Criticism With Confidence
Heidi has previously responded directly to concerns about their professional collaborations, telling PEOPLE magazine: "A lot of people are like, 'Oh, I don't know about mom and daughter doing this together'. But for us? I'm proud of my daughter. She's fine with me like that."
The German-born model emphasised that body confidence runs in their family, explaining her European approach to nudity and self-expression. "I've always been very open with my body," Heidi stated. "When I'm suntanning in the backyard, I might not have a top on. I'm European… my kids don't know me any other way."
Heidi has been particularly protective of Leni's modelling career, despite numerous offers throughout her childhood. She deliberately waited until 2020 to allow her daughter to officially begin modelling, wanting to ensure Leni was emotionally prepared for industry pressures. Leni, Heidi's daughter with Italian businessman Flavio Briatore, was later adopted by singer Seal during his marriage to Heidi.
The pair's most recent public appearance demonstrates their continued commitment to working together despite external opinions, showcasing a mother-daughter relationship built on mutual respect, professional collaboration, and unconditional support.
