This Supermodel Daughter Will Be The Next Gigi Hadid

It's not unusual for children to follow in their parent's career footsteps, especially in Hollywood. This pattern also rings true in the modeling industry, where new talent emerges with a familiar name. One of the fresh faces to debut last year from this talent pool was Leni Klum, daughter of supermodel Heidi Klum. The 16-year-old appeared on the cover of Vogue Germany's January/February 2021 issue, alongside her mother, to mark her entry into the modeling world. The duo wore vibrantly colorful blazers and pants in opposite colors for contrast, showcasing an array of must-have pieces from fashion houses such as Prada, Dior, Versace, Louis Vuitton, and Miu Miu.

Fans who have followed Klum's successful career know that she was a longtime host of Project Runway, a former Victoria's Secret Angel, and has appeared in several films including Sex and the City. Given Klum's connections and experiences in the industry, she'll be Leni's go-to guide to making it big. The budding young model already has over 533 thousand followers on Instagram — she has nine posts so far — and considers her mom her "bestie." Leni also joins the ranks of fellow models such as Kaia Gerber, Lily-Rose Depp, Lila Grace Moss, Georgia May Jagger, and the Hadid sisters who have famous supermodel parents.
