Heidi Klum isn’t afraid to dress how she wants.
In an interview with The Times, the “America’s Got Talent” judge, 51, clapped back at those who criticize her fashion choices.
“I’m not shy about my femininity,” she told the outlet. “I love dressing up where I have my cleavage showing, wearing miniskirts, high heels, gorgeous stockings — but that doesn’t mean I want to go home with you.”
“That’s just my personality. Why not? I want to have fun and show my body, but I have boundaries, as do all women.”
The former “Project Runway” host also spoke about modeling in the ’90s and the limited opportunities to participate in fashion shows.
“I went for endless castings. Only a few asked me to try on their sample clothes and I just didn’t fit into them. I was 90-60-90 [35-24-35]. The clothes would get stuck on my breasts or my hips. Instead, I did a lot of catalogues, which was fine — I made money,” she said.
Klum is no stranger to negative comments.
Recently, she received backlash after appearing in a lingerie ad for Italian brand Intimissimi with her 20-year-old daughter Leni and 80-year-old mom Erna.
“Quite strange to do this with your mum,” one person commented on Leni’s post of the shoot. “This is really weird tbh,” someone else added.
The mother of four touched on her daughter’s burgeoning modeling career in the interview.
“My daughter is so nonchalant. For me the cameras had to become my friends. I had to learn that it’s just a person clicking away, capturing what you give: you play with the lens, not the person. She’s more of a tomboy — she won’t wear my clothes.”
