Supermodel Heidi Klum faces criticism for ‘weird’ mother-daughter photo shoot

Heidi Klum and her 20-year-old daughter Leni Klum are facing backlash after posing together for an ad for an Italian lingerie company.

The models excitedly published several photos from their latest campaign with Intimissimi, during which they pose in two separate sets of underwear. Heidi (51) wore a burgundy two-piece bra and underwear, and her daughter Leni (20) wore a black lace set in a nude shade.

In the caption of her celebratory Instagram post, Leni he said to her fans that she was “excited to show you more of this excellent collection… Stay tuned!” Her mother shared the identical exciting feelings in her post.

“@Leniklum and I had a great time shooting this with @Rankinarchive and @Thomashayo,” she wrote, before telling fans to look out for their campaign on billboards in Germany and on TV.

Despite the thrill, fans debated whether or not the mother-daughter duo’s campaign was appropriate. Heidi has disabled comments on Instagram, while her daughter’s page remains to be open to responses.

One critic he said“Yes, nothing like getting half naked with your mom…” as one other evenly criticized Heidi’s parenting, writing: “I would like more for my daughter than just lingerie modeling.”

Two others said: “It’s kind of weird” and “Kind of weird doing it with your mom.”

Some fans who saw nothing unsuitable with the photos reacted in a different way. One person commented on Page Six post asking, “How is this any different than a mother and daughter posing together in a bikini on the beach?”

A fourth fan said: “It’s just a day at work for them.”

Heidi and Leni posed together in lingerie for the identical brand in 2022 before this 12 months.

In March, Heidi talked about how she mentors Leni now that she is pursuing a modeling profession herself.

She he said Glamour: “We discuss every thing, I take a look at her offers. I help her select outfits for parties. She normally chooses an outfit that I advised her against (laughter). I made it clear from the start that as my daughter she could be a goal for public opinion. Many people will think she’s cute, others will think she’s silly. Just because she’s my daughter. People who do not like me may routinely dislike her. He should have thick skin, but my kids do.

Heidi’s modeling profession gained momentum after a photo shoot that landed her on the duvet of Sport Illustrated Swimsuit magazine in 1998. Thanks to this, she became a Victoria Secret Angel and the primary German model to grow to be one. She has also served as a judge on reality competition shows reminiscent of “Project Runway” and “America’s Got Talent.”

With all her modeling knowledge, she tries to let her daughter be herself within the industry.

“I want Leni to have her own experience,” she told Glamor, “free from any connections she may need made through me. I would like her to experience and learn every thing that is hot at once. She has her own style and that is good – I don’t desire her to be like me.
