Heidi Klum 'Dressing' Daughter Leni In Underwear Deemed Inappropriate

Heidi Klum has fallen under fire for allegedly "dressing" her daughter Leni Klum in an undies look. The 50-year-old supermodel posed proudly with her 19-year-old model daughter at an Intimissi event in Berlin, Germany last fall, with the mother and daughter duo making sure to turn up for the lingerie brand they are signed to. Leni, who rocked a sheer dress that flashed her underwear beneath, likely picked her own outfit, however, fans seeing the photo ops shared by Just Jared seemed convinced that Heidi was running the show. Multiple users lashed out at the Project Runway alum, slamming her for outfitting her daughter in a revealing look.

Scroll for the photos. Contrasting her daughter as she wore Fuschia pink, Heidi sizzled in a leggy minidress with long sleeves and partially sheer, embellished fabrics. Flaunting her supermodel frame in high heels, the German-born sensation linked arms with her daughter, who stunned in a sleeveless, floor-length black gown that was completely sheer.
Staying safe as she showed her bra and briefs beneath the gown, Leni looked a picture as she rocked the see-through trend, completing her look with a glam manicure, discreet makeup, plus her hair worn down.

In a caption, Just Jared introduced the famous duo, writing: "Heidi Klum & daughter Leni arrive in style for the Intimissimi Dinner in Berlin." Comments didn't take long. While one user replied that the photos were "super sad," another wrote: "They are both beautiful but not loving the look on Leni." Mocking Leni, a third fan said: "Arriving wearing just your underwear is never been a style, sweetheart."
Over 290 fans liked a reply reading: "Why dress your daughter in underwear," and the opinion was reflected by another fan, who said: "Dressing your little girl like this is not stepping out in style." Endless more similar comments poured in, from the fan saying that it was "sad" for a "teen," to one who straight-up called the Dior Beauty ambassador "vulgar."
Mom And Daughter Underwear Campaigns

Heidi and Leni continue to jointly front Italian lingerie label Intimissi, although their campaigns generally prove controversial. The above photo, seeing Leni in a feathery pink undies set while Heidi stripped down to satin white, was called "weird" by one fan. Many have expressed similar sentiments as they find the mom and daughter duo posing in underwear to be awkward.
Festive Undies For Xmas

Intimissi made sure to dress Heidi and Leni in a festive shade of red for its Xmas campaign last year, even throwing in gifts as props.
"To do photoshoots together with her and just to see how she's just very comfortable and also comfortable around me even when we're doing underwear shoots or something like that," Heidi has said as part of clap-back to all the backlash those Intimissi promos garnered.
