Heidi Klum brings back the side boob trend with head-turning red carpet appearance

Heidi Klum ensured she brought all the fashion drama to The Devil Wears Prada 2 premiere in New York on April 20. The supermodel wore a teal gown that was chosen as a winning look in the upcoming Season 22 of Project Runway. 

Created by one of the designer contestants on the show, the dress featured a halter-neck design with a daring open side that revealed part of Heidi’s side bust. It also showcased dramatic, cape-like draping that flowed into a train behind her, finished with a ribbed pattern.

The supermodel’s luscious locks were styled into bouncy curls while her makeup oozed soft glam, courtesy of a smoky eye and a nude lip.

If you delve deep into the fashion archives, you’ll notice that designers have long been championing feminine natural features through corsetry, strapless silhouettes, and sheer, embellished gowns. The side boob trend is part of the broader naked dress look that’s defined by its barely-there materials – sheer mesh, metallic knits, chainmail, lace, and airy organza all play a part in its ethereal appeal.

Heidi has never shied away from a daring look, proving that even in her 50s, you can still be playful with fashion. The supermodel previously opened up about ageing in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar. “I feel 35. Also, I never overdid exercising and tried to be a little softer to my body and not beat it so hard,” she shared.

“I am heavier than I was before–not intentionally, but when you’re younger, your metabolism is different. When I was younger, I never tried to look the way I looked. Now, I’ve evolved a little bit, and I feel great in my skin–way more now than back then. Accepting these changes is just the course of life; I have love handles, but I’m not even worried about it.”

Heidi also shared an insight into her beauty and wellness routine. “It’s also important to move and exercise – that includes massages,” she explained. “When I was younger, massages were more about pampering and feeling good. But now, I think of it more as moving your body and activating your cells. I also learned to chew more–it’s better for digestion and gut health. I eat better now, too. I don’t eat many raw foods anymore because it’s harder for your body to break down than cooked food. I am also big into bread with grains, like pumpernickel. We call this black bread in Germany. I make soups like bone broth or chicken soup all the time.”
