Heidi Klum and daughter Leni Klum are an inseparable duo these days. Last night, the pair proved their fashion bond is just as strong as their family one.
At the Glamour Women of the Year Awards in Berlin, Germany—where Heidi was honored as a “Global Icon”—the duo made a striking entrance in complementary yet distinct looks that underscored that shared style language. Heidi stepped onto the red carpet in a shimmering leopard print mini dress by Roberto Cavalli, and wrapped herself in a fuzzy chocolate brown cropped coat. The supermodel wore her signature blonde hair long and tousled, with a dense set of bangs.
Leni, in turn, offered a sweet and playful take on the LBD, with sheer, intricate leaf-adorned fabric and a bodysuit underneath, ending in a drop waisted fit and flare skirt. She styled it simply, like her mother, with pointed black pumps. Leni, a brunette, wore her hair stick straight with a sleek side part.
Klum style synergy is the M.O. for the mother-daughter duo. The Klums attended the Vetements show in their own versions of exaggerated and edgy suiting: Heidi in an oversized and hard-shouldered gray blazer coat with built-in gloves (plus, a set of grills), while Leni played it cool in an extra-cropped black button down shirt and matching frayed midi skirt. To celebrate Leni’s collection with German retailer About You, the Klums matched up in billowing white sleeves. At the Venice Film Festival, the pair wore coordinating corset gowns, custom Intimissimi.
21-year-old Leni—also a model—is establishing her own style codes. While her mother has cultivated a more maximalist and playful style in recent years (as both the Queen of Halloween and an arden devotee to the naked dressing trend phenom), Leni is leaning into the more refined and youthful details, often opting for the elevated LBD.
Heidi Klum and Leni Klum are all about proving mother-daughter style doesn’t have to be corny or copycat, but a cool collab.
