At the 2026 Grammy Awards, Heidi Klum made one of the evening’s most talked-about appearances in a custom dress by Marina Hoermanseder. The supermodel and television host attended the 68th Annual Grammys, held in Los Angeles, wearing a sculptural, skin-toned leather look that appeared to mold directly to her body.

Marina Hoermanseder, known for her signature buckles and body-focused construction, designed the leather dress using a bespoke mold created specifically for Heidi Klum. According to behind-the-scenes images shared by the designer on Instagram, the process involved producing a three-dimensional body form adjusted precisely to Klum’s measurements before building the leather garment around it. The resulting silhouette hugged her frame seamlessly, reinforcing the illusion of a second skin while maintaining a high gloss, sculpted finish.
The strapless leather dress featured clean edges along the neckline and sides, with subtle hardware closures visible along the seams. The glossy surface reflected light across the red carpet, amplifying the sculptural quality of the piece. She completed the look with nude pointed-toe stilettos, while leaving her hair worn loose and parted down the centre. Klum styled the look with minimal accessories, allowing the craftsmanship and form of the dress to remain the focal point as she posed for cameras throughout the evening.
Klum, who has long been a fixture on major red carpets as both a model and media personality, shared moments from the night on her own social platforms. Hoermanseder also documented the creation process, posting images of early sketches, colour matching tests, and the final molded form used to shape the dress.
The look quickly gained attention online for its technical precision and bold approach to red carpet fashion, reinforcing Hoermanseder’s reputation for experimental construction and Klum’s willingness to embrace boundary-pushing designs.
