Heidi Klum's Plunging Glitter Dress 'Inappropriate' After Gaining 'A Lot Of Weight'

Heidi Klum turned heads on the Cannes Film Festival carpet last week, going sparkly and skintight in another show-stopping look. The supermodel, 51, joins the slew of stars swarming down on the French resort town this year, although 2025 is a little different. Cannes has now implemented a "no nudity" rule, seemingly putting an end to ultra-sheer or eye-popping gowns. Heidi raised eyebrows in her low-cut dress, although the majority of negative remarks were more about her weight. Users body-shamed the blonde, saying that she's gained tons of weight and that her dress wasn't "appropriate."

Scroll for the photo. Looking glamorous in Elie Saab, Heidi went for a shimmery, holographic effect in a tight column gown with a heaving strapless neckline.

Displaying her ample assets and toned shoulders, the America's Got Talent judge rocked cap sleeves and sequin lavenders, showing off her slim waist and killer hips in a structured look complete with gold piping throughout. Posting a photo of her dress on Instagram, Heidi highlighted her height and her age-defying good looks, tagging the luxury designer and the L'Oréal cosmetics brand she fronts.

Rocking retro-curled hair as she opted for old-school Hollywood glam, Heidi stunned with a full face of makeup on, sporting cheek blush over foundation, plus a rosy lip. Her Instagram post quickly gained a like from singer Nicole Scherzinger, however comments on Heidi's feed are largely disabled. Fans were able to leave their thoughts over on The Daily Mail, where an article collated Cannes looks from an array of celebrities.

"Heidi Klum is putting on the pre-menopausal weight. She needs to start wearing clothes that fit her properly. This dress isn’t it," one fan said, gaining over 100 likes.

Another user called the German-born star "chunky," although this comment wasn't agreed on by everyone. Elsewhere, a fan said that Heidi had "gained a lot of weight," with a further comment reading:

"Heidi is another one that needs to start dressing more age-appropriately." Heidi Klum has never paid attention to shaming remarks. In fact, she's fresh from posting cheeky bikini action during her downtime in Cannes. The mom of four was again trolled when a fan wrote that she "needs to start dressing for her new weight and age."

In 2024, Heidi made headlines for jetting out to St.Barts, where she freed the nipple and plenty more in topless photos. Hitting the ocean as she topped up her tan, she showed off her curves in only bikini bottoms, making instant headlines for her brazen display. Fans largely supported her freeing moment, although a few users did raise eyebrows.
