Heidi Klum and her daughter, Leni, have set the internet abuzz after their stunning appearance at the amfAR Cannes Gala, captivating fans and sparking widespread media attention with their striking fashion choices and undeniable beauty.
Leni, daughter of Heidi Klum and Seal recently appeared at the anfAR Cannes Gala in France wearing an outfit that left tongues wagging. She wore a long black fishnet dress with black ruffles accentuating the bust and waist.
The off-the-shoulder dress, complete with sleeves, was elegantly paired with a diamond necklace. Leni styled her hair in a chic half-up, half-down look.
The 20-year-old’s makeup was also a fan favorite. She opted for light shadow on her lids, enhancing her blue eyes with black eyeliner. The rest of her face was kept simple with a hint of blush and a pink nude lip.
Commenters could not get enough of her makeup. “Most beautiful,” remarked one netizen. “So, so beautiful,” added another. One commenter even believed Leni outshone her mother but had mixed feelings about her makeup, “God, what a beauty! Mom tried her best! Makeup… unusual. Eyebrows: top class!” they expressed.
Leni and her mother grabbed everyone’s attention when they walked the carpet at the event. Since then, videos of them have been surfacing on the internet, and fans cannot help but gush over the mother-daughter duo.
For her outfit, Heidi matched her daughter with the ruffles but chose a more dramatic look. Her gown was fully ruffled with an asymmetric silhouette and a long train. She kept her blonde hair down, showcased her long model legs, and finished off the look with metallic shoes.
Viewers were ecstatic to see Heidi and her daughter walk the red carpet. “Heidi and Leni OMG, absolutely stunning,” expressed an Instagram user. Another person shared the same sentiment, adding, “They are so iconic and amazing. I have great admiration.”
Leni might have stolen the show with her confident strut, but internet users still thought she got her looks from her mother. One conflicted commenter wrote, “I was going to say she looked prettier than mom… and Heidi is stunning.”
Another netizen praised Leni for her beauty, stating, “Her daughter is gorgeous like her,” with another adding, “Pretty like her mother.”
It is no surprise that Leni can confidently walk the red carpet with several cameras around her. She said she grew up going to work with her mother and got a front-row seat to behind-the-scenes modeling.
Watching her mother inspired her to pursue a career in modeling. Leni still remembered the excitement she felt when she was first noticed in a store. She was still young at the time, so Heidi quickly shut down the idea, but at 16, Leni was allowed to explore her talent.
Luckily, Leni has the full support of her parents as she embarks on this modeling journey. Her father gushed over his daughter, expressing how proud he was of her. Besides what she has achieved thus far, Seal is in awe of the young woman he has raised.
He said, “But I’m more proud of everything that she is. She walks through life with this type of humility that allows her to move so gracefully through it all, and she has an innate understanding of people in general and people’s feelings. So I’m kind of more impressed with everything that she is.”
Coming from a family of famous parents, Leni Klum is aware of her privilege. She admitted that she was grateful to have had her mother help her jump-start her modeling career. However, right now, she is the one putting in the work and the time and is juggling many things at once.
She’s a college student in New York studying interior design, but that does not stop her from jumping on the next plane with her homework to walk a runway. Leni is excited for her journey ahead. At only 20 years old, she has already landed deals with big brands such as Dior and GHD.
Despite her busy schedule, it is not often that Leni is seen out with the rest of her siblings. However, on this rare occasion, Seal brought his children to the premiere of “The Book of Clarence.” Beaming with joy, the family posed for photographs on the red carpet.
Seal shares a particularly profound relationship with his stepdaughter, Leni. In 2021, Seal spoke movingly about this bond, describing it as “everything.” He fondly recalled feeling a connection with Leni from the earliest stages of her life, indicating his deep-rooted affection for her since before her birth.
Seal met Klum when she was pregnant with Leni and recalled loving the little girl throughout Klum’s pregnancy and even more so when was born. He has acted as a father figure to Leni throughout her life, and the pair have formed a formidable bond.
Heidi Klum has also expressed her pride in her children. She marveled at how much her children had grown, particularly noting her son Henry’s impressive height of 6’3”. This fond moment came after Klum posted a photo of her son as a baby to commemorate his 18th birthday.
The family, consisting of Leni, 19, Henry, 18, Johan, 17, and Lou, 14, grew under the nurturing care of Seal and Klum. Henry, Johan, and Lou are all Klum and Seal’s biological children.
Lou, their fourth child and second daughter, was born into a loving home. When she was born, Seal described her as “beautiful beyond words.” He felt there was no way he could love her as much as his other children, but when she was born, he saw it was possible.
During their marriage, Seal praised Klum for her exceptional qualities as a mother and wife, admiring her ability to maintain romance and warmth in the family, even amidst the challenges of raising three young children.
However, everyday struggles got under Seal’s skin, like trying to get Henry and Leni to brush their teeth. Klum and Seal split in 2012, finalizing their divorce in 2014, but have remained co-parents to their children.
