Heidi Klum and her daughter Leni have teamed up for another lingerie modelling campaign, three years after their first underwear shoot sparked controversy. The supermodel, 53, and her daughter, 22, posed together for Intimissimi in matching lingerie to showcase the brand's latest range.
Heidi wore a white thong set while Leni wore the same style in black, with both turning around to show off the underwear as they posed for the camera. The latest photos mark another joint campaign for the mother and daughter, who first caused a stir when they modelled lingerie together in 2023.
Previous Campaign Drew Criticism
At the time of their first shoot, Heidi was 50 and Leni was 19, and the pair were criticised by some fans who felt the shoot was inappropriate. For their latest collaboration, Heidi shared the campaign images on Instagram, although she chose to switch off comments on the post.
The new photos see the pair posing in matching sets as they promote Intimissimi's latest collection, with Leni continuing to follow in her famous mother's footsteps as a model. Leni is Heidi's eldest child, and her biological father is Flavio Briatore. The 22-year-old has established her own modelling career after growing up in the spotlight alongside her mother.
Heidi Defends Joint Projects
Their first lingerie campaign together saw Heidi wear a lacy nude bra and matching knickers, while Leni modelled a fuchsia version of the set. Despite the reaction to that shoot, Heidi has previously defended working alongside her daughter and insisted she is proud of Leni.
Last year, the Project Runway star spoke about the pair's modelling relationship in an interview with People. She said: “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. She’s fine with me like that.
“I’ve always been very open with my body. 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.”
Careers Continue
Heidi has four children in total and has continued to work as a model, television personality and presenter throughout her career. Meanwhile, Leni has been carving out her own path in fashion and regularly appears in campaigns and high-profile shoots.
