Heidi Klum, 52, dances with swimsuit-clad daughter Leni, 21, after being branded ‘inappropriate’ by fans

Heidi Klum and her daughter Leni shared a fun dance session while getting ready for the Glamour Women of the Year awards in Berlin.

The 52-year-old supermodel and her 21-year-old daughter seemed happy and playful as they danced along to the popular song “What’s Up?” by 4 Non Blondes, following a recent social media trend.

A mother and daughter stood facing away from each other on top of a coffee table, taking turns lip-syncing to a song.

Leni turned heads in a classic black swimsuit with a scoop neck, while Heidi stunned in a sparkly, leopard-print minidress.

The America’s Got Talent star gave fans a peek at how a popular trend is made. Their team was filmed working with bright lights and even a hairdryer to create the desired effect.

Afterward, the two attended the awards show and smiled for photos together on the red carpet at the elegant Ritz Carlton.

Heidi and Leni beamed at the camera, sharing a sweet hug and playfully blowing each other kisses.

Heidi and Leni recently faced criticism from fans who found their past lingerie photoshoots to be unsuitable and strange.

Despite everything, the two seemed calm and collected as they resumed posing for the cameras, looking stylish and well-matched.

Earlier this month, the pair modeled lingerie for the brand Intermissi, highlighting their toned bodies.

Heidi faced criticism from fans in 2023 after she and her daughter, Leni, shared a photo. Heidi wore a sheer, nude-colored bra and underwear, while Leni wore a bright pink matching set.

You know, Spencer and I have definitely heard from fans who weren’t sure about a mother-daughter project, and honestly, it’s something we’ve addressed before. A lot of people have expressed that they’re just not convinced it’s a good fit, and we’ve had to explain our perspective.

‘But for us? I’m proud of my daughter. She’s fine with me like that.’

Heidi shared that feeling good about her body is something she’s always experienced, and it’s a trait she shares with her family.

‘I’ve always been very open with my body,’ she explained. 

I sometimes sunbathe topless in my backyard. As a European, it’s just a natural thing for me, and my children have always known me this way.

She added that their family doesn’t view nudity through a hypersexualized lens. 

Just last month the pair posed for another shoot which saw them wear matching cashmere knitwear. 

Heidi and Leni appeared in a video together, with Heidi wearing a light cream-colored sweater and Leni choosing a darker brown one.

Heidi Klum’s daughter, Leni, was born to her and Italian businessman Flavio Briatore. Later, when Heidi was married to Seal, he legally adopted Leni as his own child.

Leni received modelling offers as a child, but Heidi waited until she thought Leni was mature enough before letting her start a career in the industry.

Leni officially began modelling in 2020.

Heidi wanted to shield Leni from the downsides of being famous, so she waited until she felt Leni was mature enough to handle it – although Leni now seems to enjoy modeling.
