Heidi Klum and Seal’s son commands runway with striking look in Milan

Heidi Klum and Seal’s son, Henry Samuel, has taken Milan Fashion Week by storm as he walked his third show for GCDS. The 20-year-old graced the runway in a brown leather jacket that was styled with slouchy black pants, a pink belt, and orange shoes. Henry carried a large green bag that was adorned with croc-effect detailing.

It’s going to be my third show, I’m really excited. There are some really cool people here, all the models are beautiful. I think it’s going to be one of my biggest shows, so I’m really excited. See you on the runway,” Henry said to Vogue Germany backstage.

Henry’s modeling career

The rising star made his high-fashion debut during Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week back in January 2025 when he graced the runway at Lena Erziak’s Haute Couture Spring/Summer show. He has since walked for fashion brand Kith when the label debuted its first show in six years on the streets of New York.

During an interview with GQ after the Kith show, Henry shared the advice that his mom had given him ahead of his runway appearance. “She has different ways of getting in the zone, and I have my different ways of getting in the zone,” he explained. “But her advice is just staying calm, being present, and being very motivated.”

He continued: “I’m very lucky to have a family that can support me in that sense, but also it’s a little bit [nerve-racking], ’cause I’m kind of putting on the show for them, too.”

Heidi Klum’s advice

Henry is also set to star in his mom’s new docuseries, On and Off the Catwalk. The show will follow Heidi at the peak of her career, while also spotlighting Henri and Leni’s modelling work. 

“It’s very raw,” Henry told Paper Magazine of the series. “It’s very like, what really happened.” The rising star explained how his mom inspired him to go into modeling. “We would always visit her on her set days. And we all were just super interested. She just looked like she was having fun in her sets. And I just wanted that feeling as well,” he said.

Henry has previously shared how his mom “instilled a lot of confidence in him” to follow in her footsteps. Shot by photographer Rankin, Heidi and Henry graced the cover of ELLE Germany’s January 2026 issue.

During the interview, the 20-year-old shared how, prior to pursuing his modeling career, he would spend hours “hunched over his computer” playing video games. Henry shared that his mom told him “to pay attention to my posture”. “I like video games and used to constantly sit hunched over the computer. But my mother also instilled a lot in me regarding self-confidence,” he said.
