Heidi Klum’s Topless Poolside Photo Draws Attention Amid LA Heatwave

Heidi Klum shared a photo on Instagram Thursday showing herself sunbathing topless by a pool in Los Angeles, wearing only a black thong and aviator sunglasses, as the city experiences a heatwave.

The 53-year-old model posted the image alongside her dog, with an orange towel, a black Chanel purse and a bowl of olives visible nearby. She captioned the post, “❤️‍🔥 It’s hot in LA,” set to the song “Sunset Paradise” by L.D.B Time to Chill.

This is not the first time Klum has shared revealing beach or poolside content this year. In August, she posted a photo wearing a silk scarf and sheer pink lace bottoms tagged to Intimissimi, the Italian lingerie brand she has represented for years. Later that month, she shared footage from a beach vacation with husband Tom Kaulitz, including a clip in which she removed a silk sundress to reveal she was wearing only a $40,000 Bulgari necklace underneath.

In July, Klum promoted a snack collaboration with Funny-Frisch by posting a beach video in which she covered herself with a chip bag bearing her image, captioned “Glazed ham on the beach.”

Klum’s 22-year-old daughter, Leni, has also appeared in promotional content for Intimissimi’s Oktoberfest collection, posting alongside her mother in matching white bras and lace panties.

Klum has four children — Leni, Henry, 21, Johan, 19, and Lou, 17. Leni’s biological father is Italian businessman Flavio Briatore; she was adopted by Klum’s ex-husband, singer Seal, in 2009.
