With her long blonde hair cascading over her shoulders, Heidi Montag struck a confident pose while holding a wide-brimmed cowboy hat in one hand and rocking strappy nude heels.

In the carousel of images, Montag flaunted her trim waistline and hourglass curves, pairing the chic two-piece with a shell-accented bikini bottom that added a playful beach vibe to the western-inspired shoot.
Her caption read, “Cowgirl at heart.”
While the reality star was clearly feeling herself, fans weren’t holding back in the comment section of the Daily Mail’s repost.
One critic wrote, “She is so desperate for fame, attention and money."
Another added, “Prettier before she butchered her face.”
The harsh remarks continued, with a user blasting, “Yikes! A darn shame what she did to her face. Demand a refund from that so called surgeon who did this to you.”
"Never understood the attraction. Fake personality and the most annoying voice," someone else said.

Others dropped notes like “Stunner,” and “I love these pics. woodnymph Heidi vibes.”
