Heidi Klum is back in her element, turning the Venice Beach shoreline into her personal high-fashion runway. While filming the milestone 20th season of Germany’s Next Topmodel, the legendary supermodel proved why she remains the ultimate queen of the beach.
Clad in a shimmering, winter-inspired ensemble, Klum defied the typical coastal dress code. Despite the bustling LA backdrop, all eyes were on the host as she orchestrated a high-stakes swimwear challenge for her newest contestants.
Heidi Klum dazzles in see-through Swarovski crystal stretch mesh dress over bodysuit
For this sunset production, Klum collaborated with her long-time friend and designer, Julien Macdonald. She wore a bespoke, ethereal white outfit that fans are already calling a “Snow Angel” masterpiece. The ensemble featured a plunging metallic white bodysuit that cut deep to her navel.
Check out the look by Heidi Klum below:
Over the top, she layered a sheer, stretch-mesh maxi dress encrusted with thousands of Swarovski crystals. The see-through fabric caught every bit of the fading California sun, creating an incredible sparkle with every movement.
To elevate the drama, she added a massive, oversized white feather coat that trailed behind her in the sand. The look was finished with white-rimmed sunglasses and her signature bombshell waves. The filming was a full-scale spectacle.
A temporary judging platform was built just north of the Venice Pier to capture the perfect “golden hour” light. Klum was seen laughing and dancing between takes, clearly enjoying the creative collaboration with Macdonald, who also appeared as a guest judge.
As GNTM 2026 kicks off, this Venice Beach outing serves as a reminder of Klum’s enduring influence. She isn’t just a judge; she is a master of the “moment.” Whether she is lounging in the 86-degree LA heat or strutting in couture feathers, she knows exactly how to keep the world watching. She has successfully traded traditional beachwear for a look that is pure, unfiltered glamour.
