Heidi Klum Posts Topless Poolside Photo, Teases Bigger Halloween Bash

Heidi Klum, 53, posted a new topless photo to Instagram this week showing her lounging poolside in black bikini bottoms, captioned “It’s hot in LA.” The photo, taken in Los Angeles, shows her reclining on a daybed with her dog beside her and a grass lawn and swimming pool in the background.

The post drew a wave of comments from fans, with one calling her the “greatest super model to ever do it” and another writing “Absolutely smoking hot.” Other commenters joked that she was “making it hotter” in Los Angeles.

The German-born supermodel has posted similar images before, including a recent photo of herself in semi-sheer white underwear covered only by a multicolored shawl. In December 2025, she was photographed walking topless on a beach in St. Barts with her husband, Tom Kaulitz.

Klum has said her comfort with nudity traces back to her upbringing. In an August 2024 interview with Fox News Digital, she said, “I grew up… with a lot of nudity… on the beach… for me, this is no big deal.” She added, “It’s just a very common thing… it’s not like I’m doing something, ‘Oh, this is so out of line.’ And I always go to a beach when there’s not a lot of people there… I feel like I’m not… hurting anyone’s feelings.”

Halloween party turns 25

Separately, Klum confirmed her annual Halloween party is returning this year for its 25th anniversary. The “Germany’s Next Top Model” host is known for elaborate costumes, having previously appeared as Medusa, E.T., an earthworm and Princess Fiona from “Shrek.”

Speaking to People earlier this month, Klum said she thinks hard every year about “how I can one-up myself.” Of this year’s look, she said, “All I can say is that we’re going bigger than ever,” adding she “can’t wait to celebrate” the “very special milestone” with everyone.

“I can’t say too much yet, but I can tell you that this year’s costume is going to be much bloodier than in years past,” she said. “I always love finding a way to surprise people, so I think this one will definitely be gory and get a reaction!”
