On the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival, she got a, much to the shock of the known universe. She wore the most complicated Zuhair Murad dress in the world, and she started making a fuss with it. Normal that he left, because he was already half out without having to do anything at all. And she kept flapping with her intense yellow coat-tail. Of course, a circumstance before which others would have resented, she did not care. After all, we're talking about the woman who said, "The fewer clothes I wear, the easier it is for me to pose and the sexier I feel"... And that he has corroborated it again with what has become one of the most viral videos of these days, with his beach ass as the protagonist.

Despised by the world of high fashion

Although it is hard to believe, this feeling of pride in his body has developed him against all odds, because many people may seem to have a canonically perfect body, but not to the world of fashion. In fact, Karl Lagerfeld despised her even though she was a compatriot (he from Hamburg, she from a city in North Rhine-Westphalia). So much so that when he was once asked for his opinion on Heidi Klum, he said, "I have no idea who she is. And Claudia Schiffer doesn't know her either." The catwalk was hostile to him because he considered that he had a 'jaquetón' physique and too much chest (he measures around 178 cm and weighs about 60 kilos, so you can see how the catwalk spends them). And speaking of breast (again): he has them baptized. One is called Hans and one Franz. German humor of the good.

The fact is that Heidi Klum, who was born on this day in 1973, has not made her place on the red carpets and the media and business for being a pretty girl of Haute Couture, far from it. In an interview with 'Telva', a few years ago, he said that "I could never do parades (people know it and in fact ridicule me for it) because I was considered too 'curvy'. When I went to Paris, right after winning the modeling contest, I did several castings, but the clothes did not fit me: they got stuck in my hips or in my chest, because they were designed for extremely thin girls, without any shape in the body. "

Where did you get your success then? From an explosive combination of factors. First, hits such as the cover of the number of swimsuits of 'Sports Illustrated' or the Victoria's Secrets parade. The second is a great business nose, which has allowed him to park the squeamishness (if he ever had them) and embrace with the same enthusiasm a television program – he is currently a judge of 'America's Got Talent' – and a collaboration with a supermarket chain (the Esmara clothing line, for Lidl). Shake the above with a sexy and vitalistic attitude and you get the model considered by 'Forbes' in 2007 as the third richest in the world.

Naked by conviction

In 2017, when she presented the photographic volume 'Heidi Klum by Rankin', she posed totally naked for the first time, as she said, although by then her topless were already mythical -"I grew up on nudist beaches with my parents, so I am a naturist", she said-, and in fact eight years before 'Rankin's Heidilicious' had already been published, by the same photographer (they are close friends), with super sensual photos. Klum explained then that she was very happy with her 43-year-old body and stated that "we have to celebrate the woman's body, no matter the age. I've posed nude before, but I've never shown it in public."

If you take a look at Heidi Klum's Instagram account (11 million followers) there is one thing that is clear to you: she is having a great time at this point in her life. At his brand new 50 years life smiles at him and is physically divine (that we know, at least 'on the outside'). Turned into the parsley of all sauces, married since 2019 to Tom Kaulitz, the guitarist of the German band Tokio Hotel, her four children already raised (Leni, 19, with her ex-partner Flavio Briatore, and Henry, 18, Johan, 17 and Lou, 14, from Seal), the controversies that every so often slip her.

Among them, the one of 2013, for an advertisement for the brand Hardee's & Carl's Jr where he appeared devouring hamburgers in a very sensual attitude. The last one, for posing with her eldest daughter both in bra and panties, for an Intimissimi lingerie ad. The networks were thrown on her accusing her of objectifying the body of her daughter (19 years old, eye). Heidi was slow but replied, "I'm very proud that my daughter wanted to do this campaign with me. For me it's nothing negative. We are not ashamed of each other. We are two strong women who can definitely prove it."
