Heidi Klum Channels Shipwreck Survivor in Tattered Gown at InStyle Awards
The model stunned on the red carpet in a deconstructed lace creation.
Heidi Klum embraced a dramatic aesthetic at the 3rd Annual InStyle Imagemaker Awards in Los Angeles, arriving in a deconstructed ivory lace gown that evoked the image of a shipwreck survivor.
The 53-year-old supermodel wore an off-the-shoulder creation by London-based designer Dreaming Eli, from their "Dirtied Dream" collection. The dress featured an artfully tattered design, with smudges of faux dirt accentuating the corset and a gathered skirt that extended into a muddied train. The collection's theme, as described by the brand, aims to capture "a dream dragged through dust, pavement, sweat, weather, time... Lived-in beauty. Ruined but magnificent."
Klum complemented the distressed gown with pristine accessories, including a diamond choker and nude Christian Louboutin Rosa Z sandals. Her stylist for the event, Law Roach, also made a statement on the carpet, posing alongside Klum in a floral Givenchy coat.
Following the awards ceremony, Klum shared moments from the event on her Instagram, including videos of her interacting with fellow attendees like Priyanka Chopra.
The appearance came after a busy Paris Fashion Week, where Klum walked for Ottolinger's spring 2027 show and attended front row at Saint Laurent and Vivienne Westwood. Her youngest daughter, Lou Samuel, also made her Paris Fashion Week debut during this time. Klum shares Lou with ex-husband Seal.
Looking ahead, Klum is preparing for her annual Halloween party, teasing a particularly gruesome costume for this year, which she described as "very, very bloody."
