Heidi Klum Hits Fashion Show with Son Henry

For the star-studded event on October 23, the supermodel brought her A-game, and her son, standing beside her, matched her energy effortlessly.

Heidi Klum arrived at the 2025 InStyle Imagemaker Awards red carpet ready to steal the show. The model and TV personality brought her 20-year-old son and fellow model, Henry, as her date — a stylish move that quickly set social media buzzing with fan reactions.

A Stylish Mother-Son Red Carpet Moment

Heidi stunned in a black bandage-style dress that featured a plunging neckline and a front zip-up detail, pairing the look with black sandal heels and a gold clutch. Her son, meanwhile, looked effortlessly polished in a classic black suit as he walked the red carpet hand-in-hand with his mom.

Mother and son were smiling as camera flashes lit up around them. Fans couldn’t contain their excitement as they caught a glimpse of Heidi and Henry at the fashion show. Many couldn't help but notice how much Henry resembled his father, singer Seal.

Fans React to Henry's Striking Resemblance to Seal

One viewer was amazed, exclaiming, "Is that Seal's son? Omg he's grown now 😢 time flies." Another fan gushed, "Looks just like Dad Soul [sic]." More people chimed in, "Seals double."

One admirer commented, "Double of his dad! Nice to see mum and son together 🙂" while another shared warm praise, "Beautiful Heidi and Henry!" Compliments poured in for both, as one fan sweetly remarked, "❤️❤️❤️😘 wow her son all grown up beautiful and handsome both."

Some fans spotted touches of Heidi in Henry's features. One noted, "He's got mom's smile!" while another added, "They have the same exact nose and smile😍."

Family Pride and Runway Beginnings

Henry officially stepped into the modeling world in 2025, following in his mother's footsteps. In August, he made his New York Fashion Week debut for Kith, a milestone that marked his steady rise in the fashion scene and his mother’s proud influence.

Having signed with Next Management in July, Henry had already made waves earlier in the year. He was featured as the only male model in Lena Erziak's spring haute couture show during Paris Fashion Week.

When he took to the runway for Kith on Lafayette Street, he wore a light-wash denim set layered over a zippered track sweater. His mother and younger brother, Johan, watched from the front row, cheering him on.

Heidi Klum later swooned over the moment, "Henry here on the catwalk today, my youngest son moving into his college dorm. Things are changing. It’s only his second show and he did so amazingly. It’s so fun to see your child having joy in what he’s doing."

For the Los Angeles–based model, having his family in the front row brings both excitement and pressure. It's a proud moment to know his loved ones are cheering him on, yet the presence of his famous family can make each stride on the runway feel like an even bigger performance.

His Runway Rituals and Musical Inspirations

When it comes to gearing up for the runway, Henry already has his routine figured out. His pre-show ritual includes a playlist that keeps his energy high. Hits from Rihanna and Future help him set the tone before he steps into the spotlight.

Yet, his musical taste runs deeper than just rap. Like his father, Seal, Henry is also a skilled guitarist, often drawn to rock and blues when he plays. His personal playlists, however, reveal a wider range, from hard-hitting hip-hop tracks to the smooth, jazzy rhythms of Steely Dan, a band he listens to frequently.

His mix of influences perfectly mirrors his balance of modern cool and classic style, both on stage and on the runway.

Much like Seal, Henry also enjoys spending time in the studio, experimenting with sounds, instruments, and production software. He often joins his dad in creative sessions, observing his techniques and exploring different effects on guitar pedals.

His passion for music began around age nine, when he first picked up a guitar after discovering bands like Metallica and AC/DC. The spark came, fittingly, from hearing one of their songs on the "Iron Man 2" soundtrack — an early clue that creativity runs deep in the family.

Aside from her son, Heidi also goes to events with her daughter. The supermodel and her 21-year-old daughter, Leni Olumi Klum, turned heads at the star-studded BoF 500 Gala during Paris Fashion Week on October 4, 2025.

The glittering event — meant to celebrate fashion's most powerful players — instead sparked a digital firestorm after the duo walked the red carpet in looks that ignited fierce debates, confusion, and criticism across social media.

Draped in a structured, off-white mini dress, Heidi, 52, turned heads with an outfit that featured giant, three-dimensional geometric shapes, dramatic wide sleeves, and pearl-beaded nude tights.

With white gloves, pointed heels, and smoky eye makeup framing her signature bangs, the supermodel was clearly aiming for high-concept couture — but not everyone was impressed.

Beside her, Leni went for dark elegance in a strapless black gown featuring sheer side panels and a leaf-embroidered bodice, crowned with a diamond necklace and a center-parted updo.

Yet despite the sleek silhouette and designer detailing, it was her expression — not her ensemble — that became the talk of the town.

'Why Is Her Daughter So Sad?': Social Media Turns on Leni's Expression

The online commentary was relentless. On Facebook, the snark began with, "Heidi looks good & her daughter is lovely but what is Heidi wearing?" — and only escalated from there. Another person speculated, "Heidi looks like she's had her lips done." One simply observed, "Daughter looks scared!"

Over on Instagram, it was more of the same — and possibly even harsher. One fan declared, "daughter outshines her [sic]✨️." Someone else tried to find a silver lining, suggesting, "I think she's Heidi is dressing like that to allow her daughters spark to shine [sic]😍."

Lip Filler Rumors, Sad Eyes, and That Outfit: Public Dissects Every Detail

Speculation on Leni's subdued expression ran wild. "Why is her daughter so sad?" one Instagrammer wondered, while another posed, "Why [sic] Leni so angry?" Then came the blunt remark, "Heidi K's daughter omg so little 😂😂[sic]."

Not even Heidi's fashion sense was spared. "Maybe she should ask her daughter for fashion advice," one netizen jabbed, while another gave a rare compliment, "Heidi Klum's daughter has a great eye makeup [sic]."

While the BoF 500 Gala was designed to highlight global fashion icons, the appearance of Heidi and Leni — who's slowly carving out her own path in the modeling world — became more about unspoken tension, bold choices, and icy glances than couture.
