Heidi Klum made history as the first German model to become a Victoria’s Secret Angel. She earned her wings in 1998 before hanging them up in 2010. She also worked for the lingerie label for two years without her Angel title.

While she’s considered one of the most iconic VS Angels, Heidi said she declined an invitation to participate in Hulu’s docuseries, Victoria’s Secret: Angels and Demons.

“They asked me if I wanted to be part of it. And I was like, ‘If you’re looking for a negative story, you’re barking up the wrong tree because I had the most wonderful time there,’” Heidi said on Wednesday’s episode of the Just for Variety podcast with Marc Malkin.

“Hearing all these stories pop up to me is mind-blowing when they accuse different people of different things, and I’m like, ‘My gosh, did this really happen?’ I don’t know. So I was always waiting to get more insight, but it never came. So I never continued watching it.”

She also bashed the show for being “boring,” saying, “I thought it was quite boring, to be honest with you.” “Hardly anyone I knew was on that show. I didn’t know who half of those people were. It’s so strange. I’ve never met any of these people.”

The three-part docuseries, directed by Matt Tyrnauer, details the rise and fall of the lingerie empire. It also explores the alleged widespread misogyny, sexual misconduct, harassment, and bullying of employees and models within the company.

That same day, the Making the Cut host put on a colorful display as she arrived at the AGT set in Pasadena for the third qualifiers results show.

The top two acts for America’s Got Talent third qualifiers this week have been named, but Heidi Klum once again stole the spotlight in a three-piece bold ensemble.

Heidi looked stylish in a printed black blazer worn over an orange top that’s tucked into a pair of retro-style printed flared trousers.

She then slung a green Gucci purse with a silver chain strap over her shoulder and added several inches to her height with glossy orange slingback pumps.

Wearing oversized sunglasses, Heidi styled her long blonde hair down in textured waves and wore minimal makeup.

Posing on the red carpet at the Sheraton Pasadena Hotel for the live show on Tuesday, the longtime AGT judge showcased her boobs and insured legs in a dazzling two-piece black outfit by Dolce & Gabbana.

The custom ensemble included a fitted bodysuit designed with crystal-embellished latticework on the front and a plunging V-neckline with large rhinestone trims.

She paired the flattering number with a floor-length knot skirt with an extremely high slit that put her toned legs on full display.

Styled by Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn, the 49-year-old German supermodel elevated her 5’9” height with black peep-toe platform heels.

Heidi added more sparkles to her look with a selection of statement diamond rings, a chunky bangle, and a pair of diamond earrings.

Makeup artist Linda Hay, meanwhile, highlighted her eyes with smokey black eyeshadow and eyeliner. She also added matte nude lipstick and a hint of dewy glow to her look.

Never one to shy away from an eclectic mix of colors and prints, Tom Kaulitz’s wife arrived at the hotel earlier in the day in an eye-catching jumpsuit by Stella McCartney.

Her outfit features a mirrored Hawaiian print, spaghetti straps, a cleavage-baring V-neckline, and wide-leg pants.

As if the patterned jumpsuit wasn’t busy enough, Heidi layered a long cardigan decked out in colorful geometric prints.

Adding more pattern to the look, Leni Klum’s mom carried a black-and-white Intrecciato checker “Olimpia” bag by Bottega Veneta across her body.
