Heidi Klum, 52, Shuts Down Paris Fashion Week with a Daring Sheer Gown — and a Mouthful of Silver

Germany’s original supermodel stormed the VETEMENTS SS26 show on October 3, wearing nothing but floral lace, a white thong and a pair of custom silver grillz that flashed every time she smiled. Sitting front-row with daughter Leni, Heidi let photographers zoom in on her metallic dental accessory, tonguing the grillz like a provocation.

While some viewers clapped, others clutched their pearls—literally. Comments flew: “What’s with the steel teeth?” “No to grills!” “Beautiful, but why ruin the smile?” One critic summed up: “Great body, questionable mouth.”

Never one to flinch, Heidi kept the glasses on and the coat open, letting the lace do the talking. Less than 24 hours later she ditched the grillz for a polka-dot power suit at Elie Saab, then hit the Vivienne Westwood runway in a hip-high cut-out gown dripping with rhinestones and garter strings.

Message received: whether it’s silver on her teeth or crystals on her hips, Heidi still sets the flashbulbs blazing—and the internet debating.
