Heidi Klum shared a topless poolside photograph on Instagram, captioning the image with the phrase "It's hot in LA." The 53-year-old supermodel appears in the post lounging on a daybed with her dog, wearing only black bikini bottoms, with a swimming pool and grass field visible in the background. The post generated immediate comments from fans, who praised Klum's appearance and joked that her presence makes Los Angeles hotter. One commenter described her as the "greatest super model to ever do it," while another stated she is "Absolutely smoking hot." A third user commented that she is "making it hotter" in Los Angeles, and another added that the city is "especially" hot "with you there!"
Klum has a history of posting revealing images on social media. In a previous Instagram post, she wished fans a good morning while standing outside in semi-sheer white underwear and a multicolored shawl, an outfit that left much of her torso exposed. In December 2025, Klum was photographed walking topless on a beach in St. Barts with her husband, Tom Kaulitz. Klum previously explained to Fox News Digital in August 2024 that her European upbringing makes her comfortable with public nudity. She noted, "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,’" stating that she often chooses beaches with fewer people because she feels she is not hurting anyone's feelings.
Klum's Halloween party is scheduled to return this year, marking its 25th anniversary. The event is known for Klum's elaborate costumes, which have previously included Medusa, E.T. from the movie "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial," an earthworm, and Princess Fiona from "Shrek." Speaking to People earlier this month, the host of "Germany's Next Top Model" discussed her approach to the annual costume. She said she thinks hard every year about "how I can one-up myself" and told readers, "All I can say is that we're going bigger than ever." Klum described the milestone as "very special" and expressed excitement to celebrate. She teased that this year's costume would be "much bloodier than in years past," adding, "I always love finding a way to surprise people, so I think this one will definitely be gory and get a reaction!"
