Heidi & Leni Klum Twin in Bold Minis and Classic Black Pumps at the 2025 Glamour Women of the Year Awards

Heidi Klum and her look-alike daughter, Leni Klum, brought their signature bold red-carpet energy to the 2025 Glamour Women of the Year Awards at The Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Berlin.

They showcased their usual mix of glamour and confidence, with Heidi leaning into her signature wild style in a leopard-print Roberto Cavalli mini dress with black pumps that highlighted her tall frame. Beside her, Leni offered a lighter, youthful contrast, opting for a modern take on sensual dressing in a Christian Siriano creation paired with coordinating black pumps.

What struck me most was how their outfits complemented rather than mirrored each other. They’ve long been known for taking daring sartorial risks, so seeing them arrive in different but equally alluring ensembles didn’t surprise me.

Let’s take a closer look at what these famous mother-and-daughter duo wore.

Heidi Klum Stuns in a Sequined Roberto Cavalli Leopard Mini Dress and Classic Black Pumps

Heidi Klum made a striking entrance at this year’s Glamour Women of the Year Awards, proving why she was deserving of this year’s Global Icon honor. The moment she stepped in front of the cameras, she brought that unmistakable blend of glamour, charisma, and boldness that has defined her entire career.

Heidi showed off her long legs in a shimmering Roberto Cavalli mini dress that perfectly captured her wild, confident style. The dress was embellished with sparkling sequins arranged in an eye-catching leopard design, giving it a lively appearance from all angles. It clung to her statuesque frame, featuring a halter neckline and a thigh-skimming hem, exuding sexy glamour that was very much her signature.

A Faux-Fur Auter Coat Adds Luxe Volume to Her Wild Cavalli Mini

For a touch of luxury, she draped the $1,050 Auter “The Fox” faux-fur coat in Espresso Noir over her arms. The voluminous fuzzy outerwear featured a sculptural, mid-length silhouette with an exaggerated shawl collar that brought drama and volume to the look.

Soft and plush, it added dimension and depth to her fitted dress, creating a striking contrast between the sleek mini and the rich faux-fur texture.

Sheer Tights and High-Gloss Black Pumps Show Off Heidi’s Long Legs

She kept her accessories understated, wearing only a few rings, so the bolder elements of her outfit remained the focus. Her long, blonde hair was styled straight, with full bangs framing her face, and her makeup was perfectly in line with her usual glam, with smoky eyes, nude blush, and a soft, matching lip.

She completed the look with sheer black tights that gave her legs a smooth, polished finish while adding an extra layer of sophistication to the bold mini dress.

On her feet, she chose classic black pumps, which kept the outfit sleek. The pointed toes and high heels elongated her legs further, enhancing the clean, elegant lines of her silhouette.

Celebrities Who Master the Sheer-Tights-and-Patent-Pumps Formula

Even Heidi’s combination of sheer black tights and shiny, pointed-toe patent-leather pumps taps into a styling formula we’ve seen in other standout celebrity moments on Your Next Shoes. Sydney Sweeney recently embraced the same glossy finish with sheer black tights and sleek black patent slingback pumps, pairing the look with sculptural, fall-ready designer dresses.

Over at Paris Fashion Week, Chanel’s front row delivered a masterclass in polished legwear with sheer black tights styled with shiny patent Chanel slingback heels. This combination instantly sharpens any monochrome outfit.

And during her recent press tour, Julia Roberts proved the power of a glossy shoe by finishing her refined tailoring with sheer black tights and Jimmy Choo’s high-shine ‘Ixia’ pointed-toe pumps. This pairing echoed the same sleek, leg-elongating effect seen in Heidi’s red-carpet ensemble.

Leni Klum Brings Sculpted Modernity in a Sheer Black Christian Siriano Mini Dress

Leni Klum took a more contemporary route with her look, choosing a structured black dress by Christian Siriano that struck me as youthful and bold. While it still had an alluring feel, the overall effect was more modern than classic, thanks to its architectural shape and sheer detailing.

Architectural Silhouettes and Leaf-Embroidered Sheer Panels Define Her Look

The dress was designed on a sheer black base embroidered with swirling, leaf-like tendrils that added texture. Up top, it featured a turtleneck collar and cap sleeves, with a fitted bodice that cinched Leni’s waist before flaring into a sculptural, ruffled mini skirt. The structured silhouette was interesting, but I wasn’t a fan of the turtleneck on her; it felt a little too high, almost making it look as if her head was just above the neckline. The hem ended above her knees, maintaining a crisp silhouette that emphasized the dress’s craftsmanship.

Underneath, Leni wore a black scoop-neck bodysuit, which offered coverage while still allowing a peek at her legs through the sheer panels.

How Stars Style Christian Siriano’s Bold Mini Dresses With Polished Heels

Celebrities continue to embrace Christian Siriano’s signature flair for bold mini dresses, and the shoe pairings tell the story. For instance, Alicia Silverstone turned heads in a textured Siriano strapless mini dress, paired with clear Betsey Johnson pumps, in Venice.

Meanwhile, Heidi Klum opted for a metallic gold Siriano mini at the “America’s Got Talent” quarterfinals, pairing the look with coordinating gold heels for maximum impact.

And even in maternity fashion, Katherine Heigl proved that Siriano and heels still deliver: she paired a crisp white Siriano dress with nude Casadei pumps to elongate her silhouette.

Minimalist Styling and Sleek Black Pumps Keep the Focus on Her Sculptural Mini

She skipped jewelry completely and kept her hair sleek and straight, with slicked strands framing her face. Her makeup, which featured brick-red lipstick, mascara, and a peachy blush, felt a bit too strong for her delicate features, giving her a more mature, gothic appearance.

For shoes, she opted for classic black pointed-toe pumps with shorter heels. The simpler design kept the focus on the dress’s intricacy, while the heels gave the look a younger, more relaxed feel and kept the outfit from becoming too heavy or formal.
