Heidi Klum Strips Down And Goes Topless During Golden Hour

Heidi Klum is once again proving that confidence doesn’t come with an expiration date. The supermodel, television host, and fashion icon turned heads this week after sharing a topless golden hour photo on Instagram, igniting a wave of reactions from fans, ranging from glowing admiration to sharp criticism. The post, which quickly racked up tens of thousands of likes and comments, shows Klum embracing a serene, sun-soaked moment while reminding followers that she’s still very much in control of her narrative. At 50-plus, the "America’s Got Talent" judge continues to defy Hollywood expectations, and this latest snapshot only added fuel to the conversation surrounding age and beauty.

In the striking photo, Klum is seen lying topless on a towel along a wooden deck, wearing nothing but a dark bikini bottom as the sun sets behind rolling hills and calm water. Positioned on her back with one knee bent and her arms resting naturally across her chest, the supermodel appears completely at ease, soaking in the glow of golden hour.

Klum kept her caption simple, writing just “Golden hour”, letting the image speak for itself. And speak it did. While many fans flooded the comments with praise, admiration, and respect, others took issue with the topless post.

One supporter wrote, “You have my utmost respect because it is always impressive that after your children and at over 50 you still have such a great figure," as another echoed, "Her body is her job, a lot is invested in it."

But not everyone was impressed. Some users expressed discomfort, with comments like “So sorry but this is not nice,” and “Enough already.”

After reading the comments, one of Klum's fans came to her defense, pointing out the tone of the criticism itself. “It is quite interesting to read comments under posts of Heidi," they began. "Most are hateful, jealous ones. A woman that is beautiful, youthful, rich, successful, a mother, a wife, a businesswoman, a sexual being and over 50 years old simply cannot be forgiven by society.”

The bold energy behind Klum’s topless sunset moment isn’t new. Just months earlier, the supermodel sparked similar buzz when she shared a striking fashion-forward photo from her November 2025 collaboration with Indie Magazine. In that post, Klum lounged effortlessly across a modern chair in a black leather coat and heels. “Thank you for letting me be one of your calendar girls,” Klum wrote at the time, crediting Indie Magazine for the feature.

Klum’s confidence posting didn’t stop with high-fashion editorials. Earlier in May 2025, Klum shared another striking snapshot, but this time soaking up the sun poolside in Los Angeles. Wearing a black-and-white bikini with her arms stretched wide, Klum looked carefree and radiant as she embraced the warm weather, her tousled hair falling effortlessly across her face. She captioned the post simply, noting the 86-degree Los Angeles heat, letting the image do the talking once again.

In an August 2023 Instagram post, the supermodel posed barefoot against a stone wall wearing a colorful cutout one-piece while holding plates of fresh fruit. "Make sure to eat your fruits,” Klum wrote in the caption, punctuating the message with a string of fruit emojis and an Italian flag.

Whether she’s topless at golden hour or sharing a sun-soaked moment by the pool, Heidi Klum continues to live confidently and unapologetically.
