Mother and daughter duo Heidi Klum and Leni Klum stole the show at The Art of Elysium’s 25th Anniversary HEAVEN Gala’s red carpet.
The pair attended the prestigious event at The Wiltern in Los Angeles to celebrate 25 years of the non-profit’s existence. 50-year-old Heidi and her 19-year-old daughter stunned in strapless gowns.
The pair showcased their resemblance in both their beauty and matching beaming smiles. Heidi opted for a fitted floor-length dress in beige, embroidered with a gold lame floral design almost as bright as her smile.

The famed TV host accessorised with gold bangles and heels that matched her loose platinum tresses. Model daughter, Leni, chose a red glittering gown with sweetheart neckline and an identical red floral choker.

Leni wore a classic makeup look reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn, favouring thick, overstated brows with a nude lip, and boxy eyeliner. The look was finished off with simple silver earrings.
The event was centred around celebrating a quarter century of The Art of Elysium – a non-profit supporting underrepresented groups through art and social change. The organisation is supported by a whole host of famous faces alongside Heidi, including Kanye West, Katy Perry, and Sting.

The night honoured English author Neil Gaiman, who chose to highlight the significance of literature and the importance of libraries. The 63-year-old was awarded with The Visionary Award.
Heidi, and daughter Leni, recently made headlines for a controversial lingerie shoot. The pair stripped off in a campaign for underwear brand Intimissimi, which Leni then shared to Instagram.
The barely-there sheer underwear left commenters reeling, branding the photos as “sexist”. One commenter explained, “It’s because it’s a mother and daughter posing in lingerie.

“Couldn’t be more sexist, objectifying of the female body, or fantasy inducing if they tried.” Another added, “Doing a photoshoot with your mother in lingerie is still weird.”
However, many rushed to the pair’s defence, complimenting the pictures. One user commented, “Beautiful mother and daughter, wow!” whilst another agreed, “The most perfect woman on earth!”
Leni responded to backlash in the past by waving away critics. She told PageSix: “I honestly didn’t look at a lot of the reactions.
“I am overall happy with the campaign and I had an amazing day with my mom. I think the photos turned out great.”
