Leni Klum takes after her mom, Heidi Klum, in many ways.
Aside from inheriting Heidi’s genes and following in her fashionable footsteps by launching her own modeling career, Leni Klum is also not afraid to experiment with risk-taking outfits.
Take, for instance, her braless appearance at the Alice + Olivia Spring 2024 Ready-to-Wear fashion presentation during New York Fashion Week on Saturday.
The 19-year-old model, who reportedly stands between 5’4” and 5’7”, had NYFW seeing red as she arrived in a red-hot vegan leather trench coat with nothing but a pair of black knickers underneath.

Stacey Bendet’s latest collection pays “homage to an era where style was extremely influential,” presenting a reimagined version of the historic time when NYC’s prominent figures gathered at the Plaza Hotel’s grand ballroom for Truman Capote’s Black and White Ball, dressed in black tie outfits.
Leni Klum clearly stood out in head-to-toe red, with her cleavage on full display in the vibrant outerwear from the New York City-based contemporary label.
Retailing for $895 at Revolve, the “Nevada” trench coat was cut from shiny vegan leather and featured a vintage silhouette with a classic notch collar, trench-inspired lapels, shoulder epaulets, and long sleeves with straps at the wrists.
It also had tonal whipstitch trims for a hint of Western flair and was cinched at the waist with a matching removable self-tie belt to keep Klum’s modesty in check.

Leni paired the bright red coat with coordinating red leather boots featuring an over-the-knee silhouette, sharp toes, and thin stiletto heels.
Her striking monochromatic outfit was akin to Heidi Klum’s signature style, which often features monochrome and streamlined looks.
Leni continued her sleek appearance by pulling her tresses back into a center-parted tight bun, showcasing her tiny diamond studs. She then wore radiant makeup, with red blush and muted lipstick, and highlighted her blue eyes with eyeliner and mascara.

In an interview with The New York Post at the Alice + Olivia show, Leni shared that she “adores” all the risque undergarments she modeled for Intimissimi with her mom, Heidi Klum, early this year.
She added she wears lacy and sporty styles from the Italian clothing label, depending on whether she’s “going to be alone” or “going to bed” with her boyfriend of four years, Aris Rachevsky.

Heidi also excitedly told her fans about their new campaign and billboard ads. However, she was compelled to turn off her comments section after netizens called the photoshoot “weird.”
One person commented, “I would not be proud to show my daughter off in this way. I would feel embarrassed and sad.”
Another wrote, “Ngl this is big weird, mother and daughter posing in lingerie together tf.”
“Ewwww what mom would want to pose with their daughter in bra and panties for the world to see,” another user said.
Others, on the other hand, complimented the mother-and-daughter duo, saying, “Legend and legend’s daughter.”
“Always stunning!” another wrote.
