Heidi Klum's 'Dark Side' Revealed: Throwback Stuns Fans

Supermodel Heidi Klum recently delighted fans by sharing a nostalgic image from the 2002 Brit Awards via her Instagram Stories on February 21, 2026. This throwback featured Klum with a striking brunette hairstyle, a departure from her iconic blonde look. She sported a layered mid-cut adorned with full, wispy bangs, a style that garnered significant attention.

The former "Project Runway" host showcased two distinct outfits at the event: a gray midi dress over a black lace bra, followed by a vibrant, sequined gown with a plunging neckline. This glimpse into her past hairstyle drew parallels to her eldest daughter, Leni Klum, who currently maintains long, dark brunette tresses and often styles them in soft waves.

Klum also reflected on her daughter Leni's burgeoning modeling career, revealing she initially hesitated to let Leni enter the industry at age 12. Leni eventually made her modeling debut alongside her mother for Vogue Germany at 16. Klum emphasized the discipline required in modeling, noting that "there are a lot of things that happen behind the scenes."

Furthermore, Klum shared her enthusiasm for Leni wearing her clothes, highlighting the benefits of upcycling and extending the life of garments. She expressed pride in her daughters reusing her wardrobe, advocating for sustainable fashion practices and encouraging a shift away from single-use wear.
