Heidi Klum and her daughter Leni Olumi Klum just had one of the sweetest, most relatable moments on the red carpet, and it’s melting hearts everywhere!
The iconic model, 50, and her 20-year-old daughter made a stunning appearance at the Cannes amfAR Gala on Thursday, May 23. This glamorous event, which raises funds for AIDS research, saw the mother-daughter duo turning heads with their dramatically different yet equally fabulous ensembles.
Heidi, ever the fashion icon, donned a jaw-dropping pink tulle gown by Lever Couture. The dress featured an asymmetric silhouette and a long, flowing train that made her look like she was floating on a cloud. She completed her look with matching pumps and bold silver and green earrings, adding just the right amount of sparkle.
Leni, showcasing her own unique style, chose a sheer black knit dress adorned with 3D floral details around the bust and hips. Her long dark hair was elegantly styled in a half-up look, and she added a chic gemstone choker to give her outfit a touch of glam.
As they posed for photos, photographers captured a heartwarming moment: Heidi was seen wiping something off Leni’s cheek, likely fixing her makeup to ensure she was camera-ready. It was a tender motherly gesture that many of us can relate to, even on such a glitzy occasion.
Inside the event, Heidi switched things up with a sheer white feathered look, adding a white blazer for a chic finish. She effortlessly transitioned from one stunning outfit to another, proving her versatility and style prowess.
Earlier this month, Heidi celebrated Leni’s 20th birthday in grand style. On May 4, she shared a series of highlights from the birthday festivities on Instagram, including behind-the-scenes videos of what looked like a fun photo shoot. In one clip, Heidi, dressed casually in jeans and a neon yellow jacket, was seen directing traffic as Leni and her friends crossed the street, flashing peace signs at the camera.
“Birthday crew ????❤️ for Leni ????,” the proud mom captioned the photos, clearly enjoying the moment with her daughter and her friends.
In a separate heartfelt birthday tribute, Heidi posted a sweet video of herself holding Leni as a baby. “Happy 20th Birthday Leni Olumi,” she wrote. “Time flies. This feels like it was just yesterday. I love you with all my heart. Keep shining your beautiful light.”
Heidi shares Leni with her ex, Italian businessman Flavio Briatore. After marrying ex-husband Seal, he adopted Leni, and together they have sons Henry Günther and Johan Riley, and daughter Lou Sulola.
