Heidi Klum, as one of today’s top models and television personalities, is typically flooded with comments about how great she looks. However, after she walked on the red carpet alongside her daughter for the Venice Film Festival, she got more criticism than usual.
The Project Runway host hit the Venice Film Festival this week in a figure-hugging corset gown alongside her daughter, and it was a notable fashion moment for the mother-daughter duo. However, on social media, people began to comment that the dress didn’t flatter Heidi and wrote that they thought she looked as though she had gained weight. Luckily, her fanbase was there to defend her from any trolls, noting that she looks amazing for her age. Read more about it below.

Heidi And Leni Klum Arrive At The Venice Film Festival In Dramatic Corset Gowns
This week, some of today's biggest celebrities began arriving in Venice, Italy, for the notorious Venice Film Festival, which, like Cannes, is just as much of a fashion show as it is a film-based celebration. This year, Heidi and her 21-year-old daughter, Leni, were invited. Leni is following in her mother's footsteps as a talented model.
The mother-daughter duo showed up in two very different corset dresses, which hugged their figures and added a sultry yet dramatic flair to their looks. Heidi's dress was a light salmon pink color and made from a silky material that draped across her as her torso was hugged by the corset portion. The dress had princess-like drop sleeves and a very structured top. The 52-year-old decided to accessorize her dress with some elegant and expensive-looking silver jewelry, including a large bejeweled necklace.
She carried a matching clutch and had her famous blonde locks styled with loose waves and some choppy bangs. She was all smiles next to her daughter, and while some fashion enthusiasts loved her dress, others found it far from flattering.
The Internet Reacts To Heidi's Dress On Social Media And Accuses Her Of Gaining Weight
Once high-quality pictures of Heidi and her daughter on the red carpet in Italy hit social media platforms like Instagram, they quickly went viral, as most red carpet photos of her do. Of course, there were a good number of comments from users who praised her good looks and style, but others thought this dress was a total miss and felt it did not complement her body.
"Terrible dress for Heidi," commented an Instagram user. "Poor execution, and she should have had a backup."
"Heidi looks old, bloated, and pregnant," added a critic.
"Wow, someone put on some weight," wrote a user, as another said they "wouldn't have left the house" if they were her.
"Can't she see it's so unflattering?" they asked.
However, because of her great reputation and loyal fanbase, the mom of four was defended by those who felt like not only does she still look fantastic these days, but that her figure is looking more 'normal,' and that she should be proud to show it off.
"Heidi has a normal woman's body," commented a fan. "Good for her."
"Let her be," added another, who implied Heidi was "reaching a certain age" but "looks happy."
"Nice to see that she squeezes into outfits like a lot of us normal folk," added a user.
"None of you is even a fraction as hot as her," commented a fan who defended the German-American from "body-shaming" trolls. "Humble yourselves."
While we're not sure if Heidi is reading these messages about her film festival look, we're wondering if these comments on her dress will sway her from wearing corset dresses in the future, or if she'll listen to those defending her instead.
