Heidi Klum's Best Fashion Moments of All Time

As one of the biggest supermodels in the world and the host for fashion TV shows including Project Runway and Making the Cut, Heidi Klum has all the ingredients of a true style icon. From her eclectic sense of style to her mile-long legs, Klum is always one to look out for on the red carpet. After all, if Klum is coming, you know you're in for a treat.
Talking to SheKnows earlier this year, the model discussed how her style is as versatile as her personality. 'I have so many different moods all the time,' she said. 'Sometimes I want to be sassy, then I want to be super sexy, then I want to be Business Barbie, then I love to be bohemian… so it's all very eclectic.'
Tim Gunn, Klum's longtime friend and TV collaborator, quipped, 'I think you're your own icon.' We couldn't agree more, Tim!
In honor of her 52nd birthday today, let's look back at her best looks over the years, from recent red-carpet knockouts to her maternity glam many years ago.
(We won't be including Klum's jaw-dropping Halloween makeovers in the list, but if you're interested, check out her Halloween looks here!)

Sizzling at 60 and beyond! Senior stars share their secrets to looking smokin' hot

Stripping down at 60 for a birthday snap to share with the world may not be for everyone – but when you look like Liz Hurley, why the heck not? The British actress has never been one to hide her light under a bushel and she can rock a bikini like nobody's business. But Liz went a step further when she recently celebrated her big 6-0 – by whipping off all her kit and posing in a field in nothing but her birthday suit. 'Happy birthday to me!' she said. 'This past year has been a wild ride.' She paid tribute to her 30-year collaboration with cosmetic house Estée Lauder before saying she's 'in love' – a nod to her burgeoning relationship with her new boyfriend, American country singer Billy Ray Cyrus. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Elizabeth Hurley (@elizabethhurley1) Yet while Billy no doubt has something to do with her glow, the fact remains: Liz has barely aged a day since she set temperatures soaring in that Versace safety-pin dress in 1994, back in the days when she was dating Hugh Grant. 'Liz feels as good as she looks and she looks like a million bucks,' a friend says. 'The photos she posts aren't at all filtered. She really looks that incredible face-to-face.'So how does she do it? Last year the Austin Powers star shared some of her secrets for staying in shape – and it turns out she's pretty low maintenance.'My mantra is: don't eat too much, too fast, too often or too late. Or, put another way, eat smaller meals, chew properly, ban snacking and eat dinner earlier. I eat pretty much everything but only have junk food as an absolute treat.' She swears by a lot of veggies, barely touches alcohol and ditched the ciggies years ago. Liz also says she's no fan of cosmetic procedures.'I don't think fillers make you look younger – it just makes you look like you've got filler.' The one thing she does swear by is moisturiser, and lots of it. When it comes to exercise, she doesn't 'go to the gym or do any set exercise'. 'But I am extremely active,' she says. One of her favourite activities is gardening and that means lots of 'bendy-downy, picking stuff up'. And, Liz isn't alone when it comes to sizzling in the official pensioner-age era. SHARON STONE (67) How she keeps so hot The Basic Instinct star set social media alight with her banging bikini body last year when she shared a clip of herself emerging from a swimming pool wearing two ankle weights. Her physique is down to regular workouts – she loves swimming and aqua aerobics and is a fan of yoga and Pilates too. She also sticks to a mainly low-glycaemic diet with little processed food. On ageing Staying healthy is extremely important to the actress, especially after she spent two years learning to walk and talk again after suffering a stroke in 2001. 'I work for it. I work at everything. To me, discipline is a kind of freedom' Sharon Stone Sharon is a firm believer in ageing naturally. 'I think there's a sexuality in having those imperfections. It's sensual. 'I don't think there's anything wrong with cosmetic surgery, but I don't think it's all right to distort yourself.' LISA RINNA (61) How she keeps so hot The actress and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has been a fitness junkie her whole life. 'Luckily, I was born with good genes, first and foremost, and I know that, but I started working out at a very young age – from around 16.' I think it's wonderful to see what works for you. And if it doesn't work for you, it doesn't work for you Lisa Rinna Lisa has come in for some flak from critics who say she's too heavy-handed with the filler treatments, but she remains unapologetic about it. 'There's so much available to us now, which is so great.' She's a big believer in moderation, 'even though it seems like I live very loudly and largely. 'I get my rest. I eat mostly healthy. I'm moderate.' On ageing Lisa has a simple motto. 'I just don't give a sh*t about what people think about me. I've gotten to that place where at 60, I'm so much more confident than I was at 30. 'There's this whole thing about ageing gracefully, and I'm like, 'F**k it. I'm going to age disgracefully.'' GAYLE KING (70) How she keeps so hot Oprah's bestie dropped jaws when she appeared in the Sports Illustrated Swimwear edition last year, showing off a bod she trimmed down with the help of Weight Watchers. The CBS Mornings co-host works out five to six days a week and does 30 minutes of cardio on the treadmill and 30 minutes of strength training. She swears by Jim Karas' book The Business Plan for the Body, which provides motivation and inspiration to achieve fitness goals. 'Before I was doing cardio, cardio, cardio,' she told 'And I wasn't losing weight the way I'm losing now. Jim said to me that building up muscle really does burn calories faster. For me, that's been the case.' On ageing Gayle is all about welcoming the passage of time. 'Each passing year is an opportunity to look at your life and think about what's working for you and what's not,' she says. Remember life is short and you should take advantage of every single minute Gayle King 'Take care of yourself so you're healthy enough to enjoy life and figure out what makes you truly happy. Get rid of sentiments like, 'I'm too old for that'.' BROOKE SHIELDS (60) How she keeps so hot Brooke used to do a lot of dancing but after breaking her leg a few years ago and having multiple surgeries, she's turned to low-impact exercise. 'I do fitness classes four to five times a week, mixing in Pilates and anything that deals with strength and stretching.' Over the past few years she's been changing the way she eats, saying she listens to her body more now. 'I'm really starting to realise if I crave something, I probably need something in it' Brooke Shields She likes to eat smaller, 'more balanced meals' throughout the day so she can remain full. On ageing The only way to age is to embrace it, Brooke says. 'And that feels quite rebellious because of how society has become so myopically focused on youth. 'We shouldn't lose sight of the value that comes with age and experience and time. I'm sitting with myself more. I don't bore myself.' I feel like more of a new person now than I've ever felt. I'm a bit more in my own life and skin Brooke Shields Brooke is no fan of cosmetic procedures. 'People could probably look at me and think I need it but I'm a bit scared. But as I've grown older, I also realised it's really about what makes you feel good about yourself. And if that involves this procedure or that procedure, it's your prerogative.' JANE SEYMOUR (74) How she keeps so hot The former dancer keeps active with regular hikes around her Malibu home and also enjoys low-impact workouts such as Pilates and yoga. 'At this age I'm looking around me at all the people I know who run, and they've had knee replacements, hip replacements or shoulder replacements.' She loves stretching and still does ballet-barre moves on a daily basis. 'My body remembers its muscle tone. It comes back pretty quickly.' The actress likes a Mediterranean diet, sticking mainly to fish and vegetables, and is also a fan of intermittent fasting. 'I like to give my body 16 hours to recoup,' she says. Botox and filler aren't for her, Jane adds. 'I've been playing a lot of amazing roles, recently two women with Alzheimer's with very emotional scenes, and if you're going to be that emotional, you need every muscle in your face.' On ageing Being older can be the best phase of your life, the four-times-married star says. 'A woman reaches a certain age where they've been married or have worked their entire lives or raised their kids, and then suddenly the everyday purpose shifts. Everything just changes and you suddenly think, 'Wait a minute, who am I?' This is a phase in life when you can give yourself permission to do what you need to do for you Jane Seymour 'I'm going to live my life to the full. I'm going to be there with my friends, help people where I can and keep the mantra that beauty is body, mind and spirit.' Demi Moore (62) How she keeps so hot She admits she used to be obsessive about her figure but now has a new approach to health, focusing on self-acceptance. 'I was dieting and exercising in a very obsessive-compulsive way,' the award-winning actress says. I changed my body multiple times but wasn't really myself Demi Moore 'I couldn't go on fighting my body and my weight – I had to make peace. I started by giving up hard exercise.' Demi turned her attention to more low-impact workouts and took up hot yoga before switching to kundalini and is now a qualified kundalini yoga teacher. She follows a raw vegan diet, sticking to vegetables, nuts, seeds and legumes in their raw or minimally heated she hasn't addressed rumours she's had plastic surgery, it's widely believed she's had work done. 'Demi does have incredible bone structure, but it seems she's had a lip lift and possibly a face lift, a lid lift and Botox,' plastic surgeon Mark Solomos says. On ageing Demi believes ageing and 'being old' are two different things. 'Somehow we've confused that, and ageing is actually a tremendous gift.'I wouldn't trade it – you couldn't pay me to be 21. As good as it might sound, it was torture!' The mom of three is in the 'most exciting time of my life'. 'My children are grown and I have the independence to really redefine where I want to go. I don't know what that looks like or where it is, but I'm just excited to be living in it.'

Autodesk CMO Dara Treseder on how brands are navigating attention and polarization at Cannes Lions

At the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, top agencies and brands vie for awards and hustle to close deals. As this year's event wraps up, Autodesk CMO Dara Treseder shares the insider buzz—from the continued rise of creator-led content to how brands navigate getting the right kind of attention in a polarized market. This is an abridged transcript of an interview from Rapid Response, hosted by Robert Safian, former editor-in-chief of Fast Company. From the team behind the Masters of Scale podcast, Rapid Response features candid conversations with today's top business leaders navigating real-time challenges. Subscribe to Rapid Response wherever you get your podcasts to ensure you never miss an episode. What are you hearing people talk about here at the festival? A lot is going on. There's a recurring theme. I think . . . everyone is trying to figure out, How can I cut through without being cut out? How can I cut through without alienating a core part of my audience? Because we're living in such a polarized time, where there are very few things people can align on. And so there is really that, but we are also in an attention recession, where it's so difficult to get attention, and getting attention is not enough, because you have to convert that attention into intention, right? To get people to actually go into discovery, consideration, and ultimately purchase. So, it's not just getting the attention, but the attention in the way that's right for your brand. Exactly. Getting attention in a way that's right for your brand and drives action, drives engagement. And now, there's just so much that grabs people's attention, so grabbing attention isn't enough. It's actually converting the attention into intention, into buyer intent. Are there any rules about it, or is it that each brand has to do it in its own way? I think that there are some themes that we're seeing about how brands in general are doing this, across all industries, B2B, B2C, healthcare, technology, beauty, retail. We're seeing some recurring themes. And I think one of the big themes is leaning into creators and community, because people show up for people. They might not necessarily show up for brands in the same way as we've seen in the past. So a lot of brands are leaning into [that]. I mean, creators are all over the place. Creators and athletes. Because creators and athletes come with a more dedicated and a more engaged and a more, I'm going to use the word rabid, a little bit, fan base. Yes, real fans. Real fans, rather than just celebrities that you see. I mean, we've been talking for a few years about influencers and how that has sort of changed the marketplace. It sounds a little bit like we've broken through to a new layer with that? We've certainly broken through to a new layer. And in fact, they don't want to be called influencers. They want to be called creators. Because they're saying, 'Hey, I'm not here to just influence. I'm here to co-create with you to drive a certain outcome.' So we're seeing that happen more now. And does that change the relationship that a brand like yours has with a traditional advertising firm? Are you going to creators in a different way? It definitely changes, because creators have, I think, a lot more say and a lot more power, and they're taking a bigger space at the table. So, gone are the days, I think, where it's just you find a creator, you tell them exactly what you want to do. If you're actually trying to drive real results and you want their fans to show up, they're taking an audience-first approach. So first of all, you've got to find that creator that aligns with your values. So you have to know they agree with you or they're simpatico in that way before they start. There's got to be trust. . . . And the trust goes both ways. You have got to trust that they are aligned to your brand values, they are aligned to your customer base, because remember, you want to cut through, you want to break through, but you are not trying to cut out a big portion of your customer base. So you need to make sure that you have that trust that yes, they are aligned to your brand values, they're aligned to your purpose, they're aligned to the outcomes, but then you also have to trust them to give them the space to do what they do. Because it can't come across as an ad. It has to come across as something more organic, something that they would truly want to do on their own, because that's when their audience shows up, and that's what determines the result. Are you, in your conversations with your peers, with other CMOs, are you hearing them privately acknowledge like, 'Oh, we didn't do that quite right? We alienated a group we didn't want to.' One hundred percent, especially in today's world. . . . As we're having these private CMO roundtables, we're all sharing, here's what went wrong, here's what went right, here's what I learned. And a lot of it is just, the margin for error is a lot slimmer than it ever was. There is a very thin line between cutting through and cutting out. It's like walking on high heels on a teeny-tiny thread. There is no margin for error. And so . . . a lot of CMOs are thinking about, How do I do this and how do I do this well?. . . And I think one of the things that's really important is making sure that you have a broad pull at the table as these decisions are being made, and that you are also able to pivot and adjust very quickly. Yes. The idea that to break through, you have to say something sharp, but you're also saying that the risk is higher than ever, but you have to take that risk. There's no way out of this bind. There's no way out. Let me tell you. We've got to give CMOs and marketers, all marketers at all levels, we've got to give [them] a break. It is a tough world out there. And so, yes, you have to opine with a spine, but you got to be careful what you opine on. So you need to pick the thing that truly makes sense for your brand and business. You cannot opine on everything. If you speak about everything, you're speaking about nothing. And if you end up speaking about things that you have not earned the right to speak about, you don't have the credibility to speak about, you could end up in some real hot water that you don't want to be on. Not the good kind of bath, the scalding kind of bath. So there really is that thoughtfulness that has to go into it.

Uma Wang Men's Spring 2026: Big on Bhutan

Designer Uma Wang spent eight days in Bhutan last summer and was bowled over by how stylish men looked in their traditional robes, known as a gho, and striped fabrics galore. She also noticed they never carry bags, tucking their phones and other necessities into the folds of their tightly wrapped clothes, or in capacious pockets. In addition, they mix traditional garb with T-shirts and sneakers and she found that 'more than interesting.' More from WWD Paul Smith Is Feeling Hot Hot Hot Umit Benan Unveils First Boutique in Milan, a Members' Club for the Quality Obsessed Luca Magliano Takes His Cinematic Eye to the Screen for Spring 2026 With CineMagliano She translated all of this into her soothing spring men's collection, employing thick linens with the rumpled texture of burlap for suits, flowing rayon for loose pants and tegos — the loose jackets worn under a gho — and wax-coated drill for utility vests with enough pockets for a mountaineer to pack at least half a dozen sandwiches. Shanghai-based Wang has been quietly making menswear for a decade, selling it to about 80 wholesale clients and building it up to about a fifth of her business. She decided to host a presentation for the first time, inviting retailers and editors to her year-old Milan store with its rugged hardwood floors and industrial shelving. Imperfections are her thing, like a loose rayon fabric upon which she stitched strips of linen. 'The fabrics don't like each other, it seems like a mistake,' she said as a way to explain the rumpled appearance of the stripes, which pleased her to no end. She develops all of her fabrics in Italy, including a gray pinstripe realized with brown yarn that blobbed here and there, reminding you of when the Grinch was stitching his Santa suit and the tail of his dog Max entered the sewing machine by mistake. Wang also tried her hand at a gho, developing a lustrous jacquard based on a tiny swatch of fabric discovered at a museum, and at thin-soled sneakers, which could bring zing to many summer outfits.
