The new season of “Germany’s Next Top Model” with Heidi Klum is expected to start in February 2025. Daughter Leni Klum will also be taking part. The 20-year-old has already posted behind-the-scenes photos from the shoot. However, not everyone likes the outfit she is wearing. Quite the opposite, because what it reminds many of her Instagram followers of is rather shitty.

In a few months, it will once again be “Only one can become Germany’s Next Top Model.” And one. Because the 20th season is not just reserved for women. What else the anniversary season of GNTM has in store is not yet revealed. But daughter Leni Klum is already sharing the first glimpses behind the scenes on her Instagram account, including her dress. The designer piece made of white chiffon catches the eye of followers. It does so not because of its transparency, but because of its resemblance to—toilet paper!

At least according to some commentators. One wrote, “It’s giving – here follows a toilet paper emoji – but very high fashion.” With over 180 likes, many of the users agree. So the comparison doesn’t seem to be entirely without merit, as the skirt part of Leni Klum’s dress in particular is somewhat reminiscent of toilet paper that has slipped off the roll.

But despite the many likes for this comment, the rest of the comments on Leni Klum’s dress are almost exclusively positive. “Wow”, “So divine,” or “You are beautiful, the dress suits you well,” write some observers. And Leni Klum herself is probably also a big fan of the layered dress. Because she captioned the three photos she shared with “Wearing my dream dress on the set of Germany’s Next Top Model”.

Incidentally, the dress was created by Lever Couture. This is a label from Ukraine whose styles are also worn by stars such as actresses Anya Taylor-Joy and Ashley Park. Mom Heidi Klum is also one of the wearers of these extraordinary pieces. She wore one of the extravagant dresses, which consisted mainly of apricot-colored ruffles, to the Amfar Gala in Cannes in May 2024.

So we’ll be seeing even more dresses like Leni Klum’s on GNTM in the new year. Who knows what exciting looks await us in this context—and what we will see from Leni herself in the new season!
