Standing tall at 5 feet 9 inches (175.3 cm) with a US shoe size 11, Heidi Klum has long commanded attention both on the runway and beyond. Even in her early television appearances, footwear played a role in her style story.
In the late ’90s, she appeared barefoot in a guest role on the hit sitcom Spin City (1998–1999), where she played herself opposite Michael J. Fox’s character. The cameo not only highlighted her statuesque frame but also foreshadowed how she would later use shoes and fashion as part of her television presence on programs like America’s Got Talent.

Heidi Klum first appeared in the Spin City episode “There’s Something About Heidi,” the second of season three, which aired on September 29, 1998. At the time, the supermodel had just turned 25 that June.

Following her rise to fame as a supermodel and memorable guest appearances on Spin City, Heidi Klum continued to captivate audiences with her undeniable charm and fashion-forward style.
Over the years, she has transitioned from the runway to television, becoming a household name for her beauty and charisma as a TV personality. This was especially evident during the 11th season of America’s Got Talent, where she dazzled viewers with her stunning outfit choices. One such moment was when Heidi took the stage in a breathtaking semi-sheer black dress that perfectly showcased her statuesque figure.

In August 2016, Heidi Klum glammed up for the “America’s Got Talent” Season 11 live show at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.

The then-43-year-old supermodel showcased her statuesque figure in a semi-sheer black dress with metallic silver and black flowers.
The flirty hemline of the mini dress highlighted her long legs, while the high neckline and long sleeves added a touch of modesty to the otherwise daring ensemble.

Heidi flawlessly adhered to the black-and-silver theme of her ensemble, complementing the look with sleek black drop earrings and coordinating rings. She completed her sophisticated appearance with chic black heels, adding just the right touch of elegance to her stunning outfit.

The mom-of-four wore her blonde tresses in a wavy side-swept style. She completed the look with subtle smoky eyeshadow, black mascara, and pink lipstick.
Heidi’s Charlotte Olympia “Evelyn” sandals added an extra sparkle to the look. They feature sparkling baguette crystals that catch the light at all angles. They also have double front straps, adjustable ankle straps, open toes, and 4.5-inch heels.

From her late-’90s TV cameo to her dazzling red-carpet turns, Heidi Klum’s style has only grown bolder with time. In recent years, she’s delivered some of her most striking fashion moments yet—anchored, as always, by unforgettable shoes.
