Heidi Klum set pulses racing in a very plunging red dress as she took to the stage for the OMR Festival in Germany on Tuesday. The supermodel, 52, looked out of this world in the low-cut midi dress and flashed her long legs through the very thigh-high split detailing.
Heidi was joined by her adorable dog Fritz, which she adopted last month at 6 months old. She looked sophisticated in clear spectacles as she spoke on stage while the cute pooch sat on her lap.
Heidi's appearance in Germany comes just a day after she attended the Met Gala in New York. With this year's theme, Costume Art, and the dress code, Fashion is Art, Heidi leaned all the way in, arriving in a look that could only be described as a living statue. Wrapped in sculptural, stone-like detailing, she appeared to channel both the Statue of Liberty and a classical Greek figure in her striking ensemble.
The dramatic transformation immediately drew comparisons to the elaborate costumes from her famously over-the-top Halloween parties. Fans were quick to react on social media, with followers commenting: 'Heidi Klum found a second Halloween in the Met Gala', 'She is on theme and she can repeat this for her Halloween party', 'I love how she brings Halloween spirit to everything.' But not everyone was impressed, with critics tweeting: 'This is genuinely disturbing', 'I can't move on from this.'
Heidi is no stranger to the Met Gala, having attended several over the years, including 2008, 2010, 2011, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2019, often opting for bold, fashion-forward looks that match the event's theatrical spirit. She is, however, even more famously known for her Halloween parties, where she regularly transforms into elaborate, almost unrecognisable characters. Over the years, those events have become nearly as talked-about as the Met Gala itself.
Andrew Bolton, the Costume Institute's curator, said at a recent press conference: 'The title Costume Art refers to the history of the Costume Institute.' Bolton, who selects the theme, said fashion has 'the status of art because of, and not in spite of, its relation to the body.'
The 2026 Met Gala had a host committee that included committee co-chairs Anthony Vaccarello and Zoe Kravitz, along with members Sabrina Carpenter, Doja Cat, Angela Bassett, Gwendoline Christie, Misty Copeland, Elizabeth Debicki, Lena Dunham, Sam Smith, Teyana Taylor and more. Costume Art will run from May 10 through January 10 next year, following the Met Gala on May 4. The event is a huge money-maker for the museum and provides the Costume Institute with its main source of funding. The 2026 event is the first since Anna Wintour technically stepped back from one of her famed roles at Vogue.
