Heidi Klum’s Fully Sheer Dress With Thong Reveals More Than It Covers At Vetements Paris Show

Heidi Klum, the 52-year-old supermodel, has stepped into Paris Fashion Week with a look that seemed to draw more ridicule than praise from viewers.

The appearance came during the Vetements womenswear Spring/Summer 2026 show on Friday, where Klum arrived in a sheer lace gown coupled with a bizarre accessory: gold grillz flashing across her teeth. 

While she smiled for cameras, netizens wasted no time in making their thoughts known, with some being brutally direct.

“Klum’s the oldest swinger in town,” one viewer wrote.

Klum went braless in the transparent lace dress, revealing a white thong underneath. She paired the gown with nude heels, black sunglasses, and heavy grey-toned makeup, completing an outfit that left little to the imagination.

These types of form-fitting, translucent outfits have become a fixture at fashion week in recent years, with celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Bianca Censori using them to guarantee headlines.

Klum’s choice placed her squarely in that same lane, with viewers expressing exasperation at what they see as a tired, vulgar attempt at relevancy.

“She seems emotionally stunted. Trying desperately to hold on to her 20’s. Desperation is not attractive. Just sad,” one comment read. 

“Reeks of desperation,” another said. “Absolutely classless.”

Critics felt Klum’s outfit drew negative attention to her daughter, who is still establishing herself as a model

Klum was joined by her 21-year-old daughter Leni, who wore a cropped black shirt and pencil skirt, and her brother-in-law Bill Kaulitz. Together, they posed for photographers and sat in the front row at the event.

The family appearance, however, only fueled more scrutiny.

“Another Madonna, can’t grow up. Stealing her daughter’s moment,” one person remarked.

Another added, “I’m sure her kids are mortified. No class and a bad role model tbh.”

Leni Klum has been carving her own path in modeling after growing up largely shielded from the spotlight. 

She is the daughter of Klum and Italian businessman Flavio Briatore, though she was later adopted by Klum’s ex-husband, musician Seal, who helped raise her from infancy.

In recent years, Leni has become a recognizable figure in fashion in her own right.

Critics, on the other hand, believe Heidi’s choice of outfit did little to help her daughter’s rising career.

The model also made headlines for stumbling as she was leaving a Karl Lagerfeld event

The Vetements show capped off a busy week for Klum. 

Days earlier she had appeared at the Christian Louboutin Loubi show in a sheer lace catsuit, walked the L’Oréal runway event, and even made headlines for nearly face-planting while leaving Karl Lagerfeld’s “From Paris With Love” party. 

The supermodel lost her balance stepping off a curb in a strapless jumpsuit and towering heels, laughing it off after security helped her back up.

But while the stumble was seen as a harmless mishap by netizens, her turn at Vetements was not. 

The gold grillz and see-through gown kept attracting negative attention and comments. 

“Sick narcissistic woman. Anything for attention. Lacks morals and decency,” wrote one viewer. 

“Careful. If you have any more work done on those they’re likely to break off and roll around on the floor,” another wrote, referencing her dental accessories.

“She’s in crisis.” Netizens compared Klum to other celebrities who have walked the red carpet in similar outfits
