Heidi Klum, 53, has shared a provocative social media post featuring her posing topless in lace lingerie on her driveway. The supermodel, recently returned from a getaway to St. Barts with her husband Tom Kaulitz, donned a sheer pink kaftan and lace bottoms for the racy snapshot.
Klum, who previously appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated in 1998, also spoke about her evolving body image. She revealed that her husband encouraged her to embrace a fuller figure, particularly in light of menopause. "I think with age, we look better when we're not as skinny," Klum stated, noting that her husband pointed this out and advised her to "eat more; you would look better if you had more meat on your bones." She contrasted this with the fashion industry's typical emphasis on skinniness, saying, "it's not something you're told in the industry, ever, because you're always supposed to be skinnier than you are."
She also expressed no interest in GLP-1 weight loss drugs like Ozempic, declaring, "I'm not interested at all." Klum mentioned she has gained weight over the years and is no longer a size 24 in jeans. She recalled past experiences in the modeling industry where photographers told her she was "too fat" and made her cry.
Klum also made a rare comment about her ex-husband, Seal, 63, discussing criticism he faced regarding his skin during their marriage. "He has lupus, and quite frankly, I think he looks beautiful," she said. Klum, who shares four children with Seal and her previous partners, emphasized the importance of self-acceptance: "You can't please everyone, and not everyone is going to like what you do, but you have to look in the mirror and be happy with who you are."
In addition to her modeling career, Klum has collaborated with the snack company Funny-Frisch for a limited edition range of crisps featuring her image on the packaging. The collaboration is described as a union of "two strong pop culture brands."
