Heidi Klum kept her energy light, but she wound up mega-slammed as her feathery minidress look went viral in June. Strutting around in Paris, France, the 51-year-old flaunted her supermodel figure in a fun pink dress formed entirely of feathers, but users seeing her fashion choice didn’t seem impressed.
While Heidi’s own Instagram followers suggested that she was veering away from “dignity” and not dressing her “age,” users on The Daily Mail also sent the thumbs-down. Here, fans called Heidi’s look “ridiculous,” although some did praise the German-born star for her jaw-dropping figure. Heidi was in Paris with husband Tom Kaulitz, 35. Photos on The Daily Mail showed her exiting her hotel with Tom, although the IG showoff came as a solo affair.
Heidi Klum Shows Off Fun Feather Minidress
Drawing the eye to her long legs, Heidi kept summery and girly in a strapless minidress with that loud feather finish.
Going strapless and thigh-skimming as she headed out in the French capital, the former Victoria’s Secret Angel kept comfy in trendy sneakers, going bare-legged and rocking shades. Meanwhile, a cross-body purse added lilac accents as Heidi completed her look with a gold necklace.
Fans got both a photo on IG, plus a video of Heidi sashaying around a small street as she showed off her cute fit. While the video gained over 150,000, it sparked backlash.
Fans Say Dress ‘Looks Ridiculous’
Over 110 users on The Daily Mail have now liked a comment reading: “She looks ridiculous.”
“Thirsty desperado. Embarrassing,” another wrote, with a third referencing 20-year-old model daughter Leni Klum. This fan gained over 100 upvotes for replying:
“I’m shocked at how many women dress so risque when they are old enough to be grandmothers, because they have a hard time getting older. Please you only embarrassing yourselves by trying to look the age of your adult daughters.”
This remark may have gained likes, but those defending Heidi noted its age-shaming nature. Meanwhile, on Instagram, where Heidi usually has comments disabled, one fan replied: “This is what someone who doesn’t look like his age looks like, unfortunately.”
Heidi might have received negative replies to this look, but she’s more than proving her staying power. The America’s Got Talent judge has been celebrating her ambassador status with beauty giant L’Oréal on social media.
Earlier this year, she and daughter Leni fronted media outlets for their stunning red carpet appearances at the Cannes Film Festival.
