Heidi Klum, Paris Hilton, and Maya Jama Shine at BoF 500 Gala in Paris

Heidi Klum, 53, turned heads with her vibrant red minidress and smooth complexion at the star-studded Business of Fashion (BoF) 500 Gala in Paris. The supermodel was joined by Paris Hilton, 45, and Maya Jama, 32, at the Shangri-La Hotel Paris during Paris Fashion Week.

Klum wore a strapless red minidress with black tights and stilettos. Hilton opted for a racy lace dress, showcasing her platinum blonde hair, while Jama appeared in an elegant black gown.

The annual gala, hosted by BoF, celebrated the unveiling of the BoF 500 Class of 2026, an index recognizing influential figures in the global fashion industry.

Among the attendees were "nepo babies" Iris Law, 25, and Lila Moss, 24, who both chose off-white dresses. Singer Ciara, 40, showcased her baby bump in a sheer lace dress, having recently announced her fifth pregnancy.

Other notable guests included Alexa Chung, 42, in a purple bouffant dress, Coco Rocha, 38, in an animated green gown, and former Victoria's Secret Angel Taylor Hill, 30, in a glitzy, feathered ensemble. Emma Thynn, Marchioness of Bath, 40, wore a plunging silver dress alongside Colman Domingo, 56.

Klum has previously spoken about embracing aging and beauty. Last year, she expressed her support for open discussions about plastic surgery and Botox, stating, "Whoever wants to talk about [plastic surgery] and wants to share, give me all the numbers." She emphasized that women over 50 are still relevant and visible, asserting, "Don't hide in your 50s." Klum also shared her perspective on beauty's evolving nature, noting, "Beauty is ever-changing, and I'm here for the change." She added that the desire to grow old is universal and that life remains engaging even in later decades.

Klum commented on her own aging process, noting the presence of a single gray hair in her eyebrow and on her chest. She believes in embracing change and avoiding age or body shaming, stating, "Everyone should do what they want to do."
