9 Of Heidi Klum's Spiciest Outfits

When it comes to fashion, Heidi Klum knows how to have fun. Whether she's rocking outfits that put her supermodel legs on full display or hosting her iconic yearly Halloween party, she knows how to dress for the moment. If an event calls for old Hollywood glamour or an ensemble so spicy that it makes conservatives clutch their pearls in horror, Klum is there serving up unforgettable looks every time.

But for some, like those aforementioned pearl-clutchers, Klum's fashion choices can be a bit much. Something to which Klum has zero qualms about addressing. "I'm not shy about my femininity," Klum told The Times in November 2024. "I love dressing up where I have my cleavage showing, wearing miniskirts, high heels, gorgeous stockings ... I want to have fun and show my body, but I have boundaries, as do all women." Klum further explained that, despite the way she chooses to dress, a choice that she's very much entitled to, no matter what some angry critic with too much time on their hands has to say, her attire is an extension of her personality and isn't an invitation or suggestion that she wants to go home with someone.

Although Klum found herself on Women.com's list of worst-dressed celebrities of 2024, most of the time, this is a woman who really knows how to pull a look together. After all, as a model and television personality, it's her job to do so. If you're ever feeling like you need to bring more spice to your outfit, let Klum be your inspiration. Life is too short to play it safe when it comes to fashion.

Breaking the rules at Cannes

One of the best things about the Cannes Film Festival is how so many of the celebrities ignore the red carpet dress code. Although the festival has finally lifted its ban on flats for women, it still has strict policies against things like 'voluminous outfits, in particular those with a large train' or anything that might be too revealing. When Heidi Klum attended "La Passion De Dodin Bouffant" at the Palais des Festivals in May 2023, not only was she wearing a gorgeous bright yellow gown by Zuhair Murad Couture, but her underboob was on full display. Considering underboob-baring outfits were trending in 2023, Klum nailed the look, and Cannes needs to get over it.

Proving gold lamé can be ultra-sultry

While the Academy Awards are the part of the evening where most celebrities keep their dresses on the tame, sophisticated side, when it's time to hit up the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, there's a major shift in attire. For the 30th Vanity Fair Oscar Party in 2024, Heidi Klum didn't hold back and opted for a stunning drapey cutout gown in gold lamé by Harris Black. Between the design and liquid gold color paired with her hair slicked back, Klum channeled some Princess Leia vibes — if Jabba the Hut unchained her and let her go to the VF party.

The beaded straps are enough to make a non-celeb a little nervous

In June 2022, Heidi Klum attended the Elle Women in Music event, presented by Dolce & Gabbana. While it's fairly common for those attending an event where the presenters are fashion designers to rock said fashion house, Klum decided to go with Peter Dundas, who created a silver mini dress that looked rather precarious, like the beaded straps across the front and the back could give way at any moment. Luckily, Klum didn't become another celebrity who had to handle a wardrobe malfunction that night, but even if she did, she would have done so with grace, making it into something more funny and less catastrophic.

Giving new meaning to the word cheeky

Just a few months before Heidi Klum attended the Elle Women in Music event in June 2022, she hit up the Maxim Electric Nights in Los Angeles. Similar to the look she wore in June, on this particular February evening, Klum again put all her faith in the straps holding her mini dress together. This time, it wasn't just the straps crisscrossing over her bust line — they were also on either side of her hips, going from the hem to what appears to be all the way up the side. As much as this is one of Klum's spiciest looks, it's also a lot of fun and perfect for a Maxim event.

Mastering the sheer clothing trend

Since 2023, sheer clothing has been extremely popular, especially among celebrities, and it's not all that hard to ace the sheer clothing trend. Whether you just want to dabble in little pops of skin or leave very little to the imagination as Heidi Klum does here at the Vetements Womenswear Spring/Summer 2026 show in Paris in October 2025, we've got you covered. All it takes is confidence in knowing that no matter your shape or size, you can get in on this sheer trend too.

Making (almost) naked the theme for 2026

When Heidi Klum attended the 68th Grammy Awards in February 2026, she started the new year off with a bang by wearing what's been called the "naked" dress. "My dress is made by a German designer and her name is Marina Hoermanseder," Klum told Reuters. "So she basically does a mold of the body. It's leather. And then she sprays it and color matches it as close to my skin as possible so it looks, like, nude." As much as Klum loved the dress, it wasn't very practical, and because she couldn't sit in it, had to change after walking the red carpet. Both Klum and Hoermanseder took to Instagram to share how the dress came to fruition.

Lingerie on full display while in Vivienne Westwood — as Vivienne would have wanted

In October 2025, Heidi Klum was one of many celebrities to attend Vogue World: Hollywood 2025 at Paramount Studios. Not only did Klum walk in the Vivienne Westwood Spring 2026 show, but she also had the honor of being the last one on the runway, closing out the show. When she wasn't modeling, she was rocking another look from the same collection and, to no surprise, it was another sheer ensemble. The white lace dress revealed Klum's undergarments, but her choice to pair the dress with a blazer and complete the outfit with black accessories took this very spicy look to an ultra-elevated level.

Looking like a work of art with an epic plunging neckline

For the "Blinded By Delight" Grand Show Premiere at Friedrichstadt-Palast in October 2025 in Berlin, Heidi Klum definitely dressed to impress. While, yes, the spicy component was there — after all, there really is no other word for such an epic plunging neckline — it's the design of the dress by Jeremy Scott that was truly breathtaking with its uneven hem and dramatic sleeves. Klum completed her outfit with the new sky-high (4.7-inch) Miss Z pumps by Christian Louboutin in patent leather.

And Klum's spiciest look of all...

If you really thought we'd get through a list of Heidi Klum's spiciest outfits and not include her naked alien costume from Halloween 2019, you were mistaken. If the definition of spiciness, at least in the fashion world, is being risqué and showing what the mainstream deems to be a little too much, then of course, Klum nailed it here. Not only were her breasts (prosthetics, of course) on display, but so was her brain, her intestines, and even her muscles — again, all prosthetics. If you want to be the spiciest one on the block, this is the look you need to rock.
