Supermodel Heidi Klum has no problem stripping off as body confident star nears 50

Heidi Klum says she is ready to take her clothes off at the drop of a hat, even though she’s in her 50th year.

The supermodel, 49, who has been sharing glam bikini snaps on Instagram, says she has no body hang-ups, despite her advancing years.

Heidi, who posed naked for Allure magazine in 2012, said: “I feel the same as I always did. You don’t have to ask me twice to take my clothes off and show myself in lingerie. It’s kind of like putting on an old hat, in a way.”

Heidi’s lookalike daughter Leni, 18, has followed her into the modelling business.

She said: “It’s great and a bit scary at the same time, because the world is big and there are a lot of crazy people out there.

“But I love that she is getting to do all of the things I always dreamed of doing. She’s worked on campaigns for Michael Kors, Dolce & Gabbana and Dior Beauty.”

Leni has received a lot of career advice from Heidi, who was raised in West Germany and won a TV model contest in 1992 after sending in
some holiday shots.

Of the win, she said: “It was just a fluke… I never dreamed it would lead to an actual job.”

Heidi is now back on Amazon Prime Video’s Making the Cut, where fashion designers compete to win $1million.

Her fellow judge on series three of the show, which starts next week, is fashion guru and “TV husband” Tim Gunn. The mum-of-four joked: “It’s the longest relationship I have ever been in.”

Heidi, who is married to singer Tom Kaulitz, was also tempted back to modelling for Kim Kardashian ’s Skims shapewear campaign.

She said: “Kim called me up and asked if I wanted to do the Skims ad with Alessandra Ambrosio, Candice Swanepoel and it’s Tyra Banks.

"I was like, ‘Hell yeah!’

"It was a lot of fun to be with my Victoria’s Secret angels again.”
