Heidi Klum always stuns on the red carpet and TV screens with her incredible fashion choices, particularly for her reality shows, “America’s Got Talent,” “Making the Cut,” and “Germany’s Next Top Model.” With the latter currently filming the second portion of the show’s 20th season in Los Angeles, I can only imagine what stylish surprises Klum will throw our way.
With her background in fashion and modeling, it’s no surprise that she perfectly embodies the title of top model. Her years of experience in the industry are reflected in her stylish yet practical style. Whether strutting down the red carpet or judging competitions, she always impresses fans and viewers with her impeccable taste in fashion.
Let’s look at what Klum has in store for us in terms of style as she films the latest season of “Germany’s Next Top Model” in Los Angeles.

Radiant in Rhinestone Pantaboots and a Glamorous Blazer Dress
Pantaboots, the iconic boots and leggings hybrid popularized by Balenciaga’s former creative director Demna Gvasalia, are not going anywhere this year despite some people wishing for the trend to disappear.
Heidi Klum is the latest celebrity to be spotted wearing pantaboots. What makes her pair stand out is the intricate and eye-catching detailing, with an array of sparkling silver rhinestone crystals adorning the entire length of the boots, from the thighs down to the tips of the pointed toes.
But like most pantaboots, these are designed to hug the thighs and hips like leggings, fitting snugly and flattering Heidi’s figure before transitioning seamlessly into a pair of delicate pointed stiletto pumps.
Kim Kardashian famously wore nude pantaboots with a lacy Balenciaga dress at the 2023 Baby2Baby Gala. Dua Lipa donned denim pantaboots while promoting her Future Nostalgia tour in 2022. At the Givenchy PFW show last year, Joey King channeled Kim Kardashian in a cleavage-baring chainmail top with black pantaboots.

A Dazzling Fashion Statement: Heidi Klum’s Head-to-Toe Crystal Glam
Heidi Klum is known for her daring fashion choices, which she repeatedly demonstrated by pairing her shimmering pantaboots with a matching bedazzled jacket.
The jacket has a structured silhouette and is encrusted with the same rhinestones as the boots, making it the perfect partner for Klum’s eye-catching footwear. It boasts a tailored construction with structural shoulders, punctuated with black buttons at the cuffs, and an off-center wrap-front design secured with an eye-catching sculptural golden rose in place of traditional buttons.
Instead of wearing a necklace as an accessory, Heidi Klum chose a scarf that mirrored the sparkle of her shoes and jacket, featuring the same decorative crystal embellishments. But while it added extra sparkle to her already glimmering look, I can only imagine the discomfort it brought around her neck. Heidi nevertheless carried off the look with elegance and ease.
She added some rings to the mix, accentuating her already striking appearance, and paired them with earrings hidden behind her lengthy side-parted locks. She also added silver smoky eye makeup and nude lipstick to complete her look.

Exuding Bohemian Sensibility in Brown Thigh-High Boots and Fur Jacket
A few days prior, Klum was pictured in an earthy brown head-to-toe ensemble exuding bohemian glamour aboard a rolling set for GNTM on Hollywood Boulevard.
She looked effortlessly chic and relaxed as she sat on the set with her legs crossed, showcasing her thigh-high boots in a warm brown cognac shade. They’re made of buttery soft leather and have comfy loose shafts extending up her thighs, allowing some movement. The almond toes add classic elegance that’s flattering on many foot shapes, while the stiletto heels are tall enough to add height and give a modern, elegant look.

Klum combined her boots with a brown sweater-knit dress to create a cohesive yet comfortable ensemble. The dress’s ribbed V-shaped neckline and thigh-grazing hem gave it a sophisticated and elegant touch, while its soft fabric made it cozy. The brown fur coat added a new dimension of luxury to the entire look.
I adore how this combination is stylish and practical for the cooler weather. To finish her striking look, Heidi wore several rings and oversized brown sunglasses with square frames. The rings added glitz and refinement to the look, while the sunglasses gave her a laid-back calm.

She effortlessly blends bold trends with high glamour, dazzling in crystal-encrusted pantaboots or embracing bohemian chic in thigh-high leather boots. The German-American model continues to push the boundaries of red carpet and street style.
Klum isn’t alone in her love for pantaboots—A-list celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Dua Lipa, and Joey King have all embraced this daring footwear trend. Their takes on pantaboots show just how versatile the style can be, from futuristic high-fashion moments to casual, edgy ensembles.
