Heidi Klum is a true multitasker when it comes to her career. From modeling shoots to her role as a judge on America’s Got Talent, the international model is always on the go, effortlessly balancing her professional commitments. Remarkably, she has recently discovered a fantastic way to seamlessly integrate her role as a mother into her busy work life.
The 50-year-old and her eldest child Leni, who is also a model, made an appearance at the Intimissimi Dinner on October 6th for the Italian lingerie company’s fall/winter campaign. Heidi and Leni, who is 19, proudly serve as brand ambassadors for Intimissimi. However, some users expressed their distaste over the duo’s lingerie collab, calling it ‘inappropriate.’

Heidi Klum & Leni Rock Sheer Looks For Lingerie Brand Event
At the dinner event, the German supermodel donned a vibrant hot pink mini dress from Tom Ford adorned with elegant lace patterns and long sleeves. She matched her ensemble with pink open-toe heels, sported a sultry smoky eye makeup, and let her flowing blonde hair cascade gracefully.
On the other hand, Leni chose to go with a sheer black gown that revealed her undergarments. She complemented this with black leather boots that reached just below her knees, all in matching black. Her entrance featured a chic half-up, half-down hairstyle, and later in the evening, she let her hair flow freely by untying it.
The dynamic duo of mother and daughter appeared to have a fantastic time throughout the night. Heidi’s Instagram posts captured their enjoyment, featuring moments of them relishing a candlelit dinner, striking poses for selfies, and dancing together with joy.
Yet, fans held another perspective when they witnessed the two promoting the lingerie brand in unison.
Fan Comments
Although Heidi has turned off her Instagram comments for quite some time now, the comments under Intimissimi's IG account were flooded with users thinking their lingerie ads, mesh outfit of her daughter, and the entire promotion was unsuitable.
"Why would you let your daughter walk around in a see-through dress that shows through her underwear? Embarrassing...," wrote one fan.
"I am sorry I don't even feel comfortable looking at this pic. I know she might be an adult but she looks 13 and inappropriate. Sorry. I will have to unfollow," another user said in regards to Leni looking a lot younger than her actual age.
One user commented, "Please use normal ladies. Stop with the celebrities. Especially mothers pushing their young daughters in their underwear. We don't need to see this."
One mom noted, "I love the brand but as a Mom of a 9 yr old she is too young to be modelling this kind of lingerie even though she is 19 because regardless of her age she has been styled to look like a child which is just wrong, offensive and really shortsighted. I don’t know how senior executives of this brand can’t see the error of their decisions!!!"
Besides the outrage over Leni's looks for the campaign, other users were disappointed over the brand's use of a 'nepo baby.'
"Please take down this child image! Too much nepotism here! You can do better Intimissimi," wrote one angry user.
Another comment said, "If another young girl looked just like her she would never have this chance, it's only because Heidi is her mom."
