Heidi Klum's daughter Leni Klum turned heads with her bikini body back in 2023, although not everyone liked what they were seeing. In August of that year, the 21-year-old soaked up the sun during a luxurious France vacation, where clearly, she'd been followed by the paparazzi. Flaunting her killer curves and toned legs while in a skimpy bikini, Leni was spotted enjoying her ocean day and jumping into the water, and with the yacht belonging to father Flavio Briatore, it was also a family affair. While many users commented on Leni's figure, some felt that the photos were invasive, particularly given that Leni was only 19 at the time.

Heidi Klum's Daughter Stuns In String Bikini

Scroll for the photo. Displaying her ample assets and firm abs, Leni was photographed in a pale blue bikini with orange piping, triangle cups, and a halterneck.

Opting for a shoulder-flaunting finish as she squinted in the sunshine and made the most of her father's vast yacht, the Intimissi ambassador made eyes pop with her cleavage flash, also proving she's inherited mom Heidi's slim waist and killer hips.

Wearing her light hair down as she padded around barefoot and eventually jumped into the ocean, Leni seemed to be having plenty of fun, but that couldn't be said for some of the fans reacting. Responding on The Daily Mail, one user wrote:

"Totally inappropriate. Can we stop stalking young women for photos of them in bikinis, alongside titles of them 'displaying' their bodies. They are not." Over 700 users agreed. Others,  meanwhile, noted that Leni (who has spent most of her life with adoptive father Seal as her dad) was in the presence of her birth father. "I could never wear that type of bikini/g-string in front of my father, just doesn’t feel right" was another popular comment.

In a caption to her Instagram share, Leni wrote: "Our new @intimissimiofficial campaign! Find my mom and I on billboards all over Germany and tag us if you see it!! Explore the new collection now online and in all Intimissimi stores." Intimissi also boasts singer Jennifer Lopez as an ambassador.
