It's safe to say that Heidi Klum's kids have all inherited her model good looks. But as her daughter Leni follows in her footsteps, she's certainly giving her mother a run for her money. The 20-year-old took to Instagram to share the latest snaps from her photoshoot with Desigual, a picturesque picnic on a cliff top overlooking a stunning Californian beach.
Leni lounged lazily on a picnic blanket as she pursed her lips over a straw and drank an Erewhon smoothie. In another photo she ate strawberries and looked away from the camera candidly. With her hair smoothed into a slick bun, and a glowing dewy makeup look, Leni looked like a classic California girl.
She donned a casual white top which gathered round her neck but left cut outs that showed her prominent decolletage, and paired it with casual jeans overlaid with a black sarong. As she enjoyed her Los Angeles picnic, it was hard not to see her mother's resemblance in her wide-set eyes and pout. The duo have worked together on modeling contracts, starring in Intimissimi's lingerie campaigns alongside her mom, which was certainly a point of pride for Heidi.
The mom-of-four said of working with her daughter: "To do photoshoots together with her and just to see how she’s just very comfortable and also comfortable around me even when we’re doing underwear shoots or something like that." She added: "It makes me proud that my daughter is super comfortable in her skin also in front of me and around me because not every kid is in the world. So, I love that we have this beautiful relationship.
" While Heidi is perfectly content to go on a shoot with her daughter now, the supermodel wasn't always happy with the idea of her modeling - and certainly had reservations about it. "Obviously, as a mother, [I want my] child to do what she wants to do. The industry is great.
..and I've been in it for over 20 years, but it's a lot of traveling; it's different," Heidi told People, adding: "You have to be a strong person, especially as a woman; you have to be very strong.
" Yet despite her mother's reservations, Leni seemed to always know she wanted to be a model. "Ever since I was young, my aspiration has been to pursue a career in modeling. Growing up in an environment immersed in this world, I’ve always wanted to follow my mother’s steps," Leni confessed to Zoo Magazine.
