Like mother, like son

Long before Heidi Klum earned the title of “queen of Halloween,” she had an ultra successful modeling career. I already knew that her 20-year-old daughter, Leni, was following in her footsteps as a catwalk guru. However, I had no idea that her son, Henry, also inherited the modeling gene. 

This week, the 51-year-old model reversed roles with her 19-year-old son, Henry. Instead of walking the runway, Klum sat in the audience and cheered on her son, who made his modeling debut at Paris Fashion Week.

Henry walked in the Lena Erziak Haute Couture Spring-Summer 2025 show at Hotel le Marois, where he modeled two different looks. His opening ensemble was shown in the video that Klum shared on Instagram, featuring a black suit with a wrap front and an open back. 

The caption read, “So proud of you Henry—Opening the Lena Erziak Haute Couture Show in Paris.”

Henry also walked the runway in a second look that resembled the first one. But this time, the suit had a plunging neckline and cape-style train.

In an interview with Vogue Germany, Henry admitted that he received advice from his mother, who told him to maintain good posture. He also reached out to his sister, Leni.

“Leni told me to look straight ahead and walk as if I was balancing a book on my head,” Henry told the mag (according to People’s translation). “My mother told me to do my best and not forget to have fun.”

When asked if he wants to pursue a full-time career in modeling, Henry said, “Not necessarily.” He continued, “I have many interests—sports, music, film and fashion. I want to use the different creative experiences that are available to me to find the right path for my future.”

The world is your oyster runway, Henry.
