Heidi Klum, 51, and Her Daughter Leni, 20, Face Criticism for Their Lingerie Photoshoot

The latest photo shoot featuring Heidi Klum and her daughter Leni Klum is attracting attention, but not for the expected reasons. The internet was immediately ablaze with conflicting responses as the couple posed together.

The limelight is nothing new to Heidi Klum and her daughter Leni. However, their most recent lingerie photo session has undoubtedly generated a lot of buzz.

Heidi Klum and her daughter Leni are accustomed to being in the spotlight. But there’s no denying that their most recent lingerie photo shoot has created a lot of talk.

In an Instagram video, the couple posed together on a soft couch wearing matching bra and underwear sets. The two can be seen laughing, spinning about, and even taking turns taking pictures of one another in the video. They perfectly captured the relaxed and self-assured atmosphere of the photo session.

Longtime supermodel Heidi deleted comments on her campaign Instagram post, but her daughter Leni kept hers open. Netizens quickly expressed their opinions. Not everyone, though, praised the mother-daughter partnership.

One person commented, “Very odd to do this with your mother,” and other users agreed. “This is kinda weird,” said another commenter. It was deemed “inappropriate” by a third user, who also questioned the dynamic of “mother and daughter filming each other in lingerie.”

The criticisms continued after that. The following was another exceptionally hurtful remark made about Heidi: “What’s wrong with you??? The thought of me photographing my daughter while we play about in lace underwear It’s completely messed up.

Others questioned the boundary-pushing idea of the campaign, calling it “disturbing” and uncomfortable. Heidi and Leni have kept quiet in the face of criticism, allowing the campaign to do the talking.

As more comments came in, one individual questioned the promotion, asking, “Who dresses up in lingerie with their mom and prances around taking pictures?” and stating that it didn’t work for them. Another said that “Heidi needs to back off her kids career[sic]” and recommended that she continue modeling on her own to be relevant.

On the other hand, some people perceived the campaign’s advantages. A commenter who expressed support said, “BEAUTIFUL😍👏.” They stated that they simply regarded it as “a mother and daughter who are like best friends❤️😍” and didn’t understand why it was strange.

Heidi and Leni have previously served as Intimissimi models. They collaborated on another private photo session back in 2023. The “AGT” judge at the time posted the image to Instagram to promote the advertising campaign.

“We’re excited about our new @intimissimiofficial campaign!” she captioned the photo. Look for my mom and myself on billboards throughout Germany, and if you spot us, tag us! Check out the new collection right now on the internet and in all Intimissimi locations.

Rocking a white lacy lingerie set with beads, Leni clasped hands with her mother, who wore a purple set courtesy of the lingerie brand. However, the photo didn’t sit right with some of the fans. “I would not be proud to show my daughter off in this way. I would feel embarrassed and sad,” a commenter said.

However, other fans gushed about the pair. One user commented, “You and your mom look absolutely gorgeous,” while another remarked, “Genetics jackpot.”

Leni Klum got her first modeling job when she and her mother appeared on the cover of Vogue Germany. She remembered the day as “such a good day,” particularly because she was working with her mother. “It was just so many things to be excited about,” she said.

Leni gained a lot of attention during a family vacation in Italy back in June, which sparked a lot of conversation. Leni was a vision in a vibrant bikini, embracing the calm and thrill of a fantastic family vacation.

She kept things stylish by wearing her two-piece with a contemporary necklace, stylish black sunglasses, and a messy bun for her dark hair.

Her boyfriend, Aris Rachevsky, who accessorized with a gold necklace and wore blue board shorts, joined the up-and-coming model. He plugged his earphones into one ear and listened to music in a few pictures.

The couple, who have allegedly been dating for almost three years, can be seen getting affectionate with one another in a number of photos that have been circulated online. Aris once seemed to be photographing his lover when she posed on a rock on the beach.

In addition to Aris, Leni was accompanied by her mother, Heidi, and her stepfather, Tom Kaulitz, who was Heidi’s spouse. Heidi, who at one time felt very liberated, matched her daughter’s beach day feel by donning sunglasses and a bikini, hers dark and florally patterned.

Online uproar resulted from the public’s reaction to photos of the family’s Sardinian beach day that were posted online. To put it mildly, the majority of individuals were not impressed by Leni’s appearance or behavior with her partner. “May I suggest the bikini is too tiny,” someone posted on Facebook.

Someone else added, “Certainly doesn’t behave very classy.” Social media users disagreed with the headline of an article that described Leni as curvaceous, saying, “Straight body no curves.” Flavio Briatore, another person who believed Leni resembled her biological father, declared, “She resembles her dad.”

One particularly strong-willed reader who supported Leni commented, “Why Not Flaunt It If You Have It? She is stunningly beautiful ❤️. Another Facebook user said, “Like mother like daughter…” in reference to Heidi and Leni.

Regarding the previously mentioned remark regarding the mother and daughter’s similarities, Heidi and Leni are similar in a number of ways. In keeping with her mother’s career path, the 20-year-old has already begun modeling.

Heidi boasted in 2021 about Leni’s first modeling gig at the age of 16, appearing on the German Vogue cover in December 2020. “She’s been doing fantastic,” she exclaimed about her daughter. She has had a long-standing desire to become a model. And since she is now old enough, I at last said yes.”

When Leni was younger, she talked about her mother and spent years watching her model, saying, “I had grown up going to work with my mom.” She continued, “Ever since 11 or 12 years old I’ve been begging her and then finally I turned 16 and she said that I could finally start modelling.”

In addition, Heidi Klum has offered her daughter some wise counsel regarding modeling. She always reminds me that I should enjoy myself. In a previous interview, Leni revealed, “She’s always like bounce around, have fun, be energetic, be excited.”

With her gorgeous appearances and outfits, Leni Klum has been leaving the audience wanting more ever since she made her modeling debut.
