By Evie Scott on February 29, 2024 at 10:00 AM EST
Heidi Klum's daughter Leni Klum faced a tough crowd as she stunned in lingerie for a special Christmas campaign last year. The 19-year-old model and daughter to America's Got Talent judge Heidi Klum has made headlines galore for joining her mother in Intimissi's underwear promos, and she's faced plenty of backlash over twinning with 50-year-old Heidi in undies. In these photos, Leni largely posed solo as she updated her Instagram just in time for the 2023 holidays. Despite the sizzling display as she got festive in red lingerie, fans were kinda creeped out by the daughter situation. The comments say it all.

Scroll for the photos. Showing off her stunning figure, Leni stripped down to a lacy, multi-banded red bra with sheer aspects and a feathery finish as she posed by a red backdrop.
Holding a massive red bow above her head, Leni added in matching, super-skimpy briefs as she highlighted her toned waistline, also showing off her ample assets and model legs as she wowed in her matching two-piece. Leni sent the camera a soft smile while rocking a vibrant red lip, also wearing her highlighted locks down.

Leni returned in a similar, sexy black bustier-style bra and matching briefs for an equally racy look as she flaunted her model figure, with the final slide bringing in mom Heidi as the two featured in video mode and taking a selfie before showing off their red lingerie. In a caption, Leni told her 1.9 million fans: "The new @intimissimiofficial Christmas campaign with me and @heidiklum is out now! Find the campaign styles and many more online and in all @intimissimiofficial stores NOW!!"

While many fans left love, the most-liked comments sent some shade. "There is something childlike about the daughter which makes it a bit creepy," one fan said, with over 1,000 others liking the comment. While another fan argued that at 19, Leni is an adult, and not a child, a third user jumped in to say: "Yes it's childlike because they've got her playing with her biological mother. Not shopping in a department store with her friends. Bizarre ad campaign reeks of child sexualisation."
This isn't the first time that Leni and Heidi have made headlines as fans deem their lingerie ads inappropriate.
"I can't believe how a mother feels it's okay to expose her daughter like this! and do photoshoots together! the mom is too old for this and the girl is too young! 😐" a further fan said.

Some fans jumped in to defend Heidi and Leni. "Y'all think your rude comments are gonna change their careers? Im glad they have a great relationship. Grow up people," one angry fan wrote. Heidi and Leni join signer Jennifer Lopez in fronting the Italian luxury lingerie line. Leni, meanwhile, is also signed to major brands including Dior Beauty and Karl Lagerfeld.
