Heidi Klum turned heads at the VETEMENTS show during Paris Fashion Week on Friday, accompanied by her daughter Leni Klum. The 52-year-old supermodel wore a floor-length sheer lace gown with built-in gloves, revealing her bare body beneath. She draped her long blonde hair strategically over her chest and added a white thong for modesty. Her temporary teeth transformation, featuring a pair of gold grillz, also attracted attention.
Heidi completed her look with nude pointed heels that elongated her toned legs, later adding a grey double-breasted floor-length coat with structured shoulders and oversized black sunglasses. Leni opted for a more reserved ensemble, donning a black cropped shirt and a matching knee-length skirt with a distressed satin hem.
The appearance came after Heidi returned to the runway at the historic Hôtel de Ville for L'Oréal Paris at the end of last month. She joined global ambassadors including Kendall Jenner, Viola Davis, Jane Fonda, and Cara Delevingne for the show, titled Le Défilé 2025, which celebrated 'beauty, fashion, and the unstoppable power of self-worth.' Heidi wore a sleek black gown with a plunging neckline, figure-hugging silhouette, and transparent floral appliqué. Her hair was styled straight with bangs, and her makeup featured a smoky eye, blush, and glossy lip.
In an interview with Glamour Germany, Heidi reflected on her career, recalling her first Victoria's Secret show in 1997: 'When I started, they had 15 models. If you were the new girl, everyone noticed.' She added, 'Nobody in Paris and Milan wanted me. I was too happy for them, never super-thin. I was even labelled as too fat. It was the time of heroin chic. I didn't fit in there. It feels like all the people from back then are no longer working in the industry – including many of the models I worked with. I'm still here.'
Discussing ageing, she said: 'The good thing is that my eyesight is getting worse and I can't see everything so clearly anymore. I just accept it – there's nothing you can do about it anyway. Why overthink it? It is what it is.'
