The legendary supermodel made the outing a family affair, gracing the red carpet alongside her eldest son, who made his runway debut earlier this year.
Heidi Klum attended the 2025 American Music Awards alongside her son, Henry Samuel, on Monday night, May 26, at the BleauLive Theater at Fontainebleau Las Vegas.
The pair matched in style and energy, dressed to the nines in all-black ensembles at the prestigious awards ceremony. Heidi wore a sleek black gown with bold side cutouts and a dramatic train, paired with over-the-knee black leather boots.
She parted her hair down the middle, letting the soft waves frame her face. Beside her, Henry opted for a monochrome look, featuring a classic black suit with a buttoned-up shirt and dress shoes.
Videos of the pair walking the red carpet and posing for photos together circulated online, sparking a flurry of compliments
OMG he’s gorgeous!!!” one fan gushed. “Her son is super handsome,” another echoed the praise. Others were struck by the pair’s uncanny resemblance.
He looks just like his mom, look at that smile. So handsome,” one onlooker observed. “Has her smile & nose,” another noted. “Henry and Heidi are like twins. Henry looks nothing like Seal,” a viewer remarked.
Ahead of the ceremony, Heidi and Henry stopped to speak with Entertainment Tonight’s Denny Directo. “I brought my gorgeous son tonight!” the mom of four proudly announced.
When asked how it felt to be attending the AMAs with his mom, Henry replied, “It’s amazing. I mean, it’s my first time here—with her on the red carpet—so it’s a great experience.”
Heidi also chimed in, sharing that she brought the 19-year-old along because he loved music. The businesswoman said it was nice to have her son with her at such a prestigious event.
She added, “My husband was exhausted from, you know, from Cannes—I was like, ‘Alright, I know who’s gonna step in.'”
Prior to their arrival on the red carpet, Heidi posted a video of herself and Henry singing along to Eminem’s “Guess Who’s Back” while riding in a golf cart. The duo appeared to be having fun as the camera panned back-and-forth between them
Their joint public appearance comes months after Henry made his runway debut at the Lena Erziak Haute Couture Spring-Summer 2025 show as part of Paris Fashion Week in January.
For his first look, the young model donned a bold black suit with a relaxed wrap-style jacket, featuring a deep V-neck and sash tie at the waist.
The standout detail was the dramatic open back, adding an unexpected edge to the otherwise classic silhouette.
His second look featured black tailored suit layered under a sweeping satin cape, fastened at the shoulder with an ornate brooch. Following the show, Henry appeared on the first “Fight Back” cover of Hunger Magazine as well as in Vogue Germany.
Speaking with Vogue Germany about his experience and his preparation for his big moment, he shared, “Leni advised me to straighten my gaze and walk like I was balancing a book on my head. My mom told me to do my best and remember to have fun.”
Heidi also expanded on this in another interview with Access Hollywood. She shared that both Henry and Leni—her eldest daughter and first child with a former boyfriend—frequently asked for advice on how to navigate the modeling industry.
She admitted she was a bit surprised when Henry told her he wanted to model; she always thought he’d pursue music. Still, she encouraged him and helped him practice his strut at home.
Leni also got her start as a teen, and like Henry, she recently made headlines alongside Heidi at a high-profile event. The 21-year-old made a dazzling entrance at the 4th Annual Global Gala hosted by The King’s Trust on May 1, 2025, at Casa Cipriani
While the event highlighted global philanthropy, Leni’s bold fashion choice quickly sparked reactions across social media.
She wore a floor-length sheer black gown adorned with lace and sequins, transparent sleeves, and a cinched waist that emphasized her silhouette. A slicked-back bun and diamond stud earrings completed the minimalist styling, allowing the gown to take center stage.
Beside her, Heidi walked the red carpet in a flowing black satin robe-style coat. The two shared a warm embrace and a kiss in front of the photographers.
Online, reactions to Leni’s appearance were mixed. Some critics questioned her resemblance to the German supermodel, “They look nothing alike.” A second commented, “Is she adopted she doesn’t look anything lij [sic] Heidi beautiful girl,” while another said, “look alike? They don’t even look related.”
Still, many praised her poise and elegance. “Aww her daughter is beautiful,” someone else remarked, reflecting a broader wave of admiration for Leni’s confident red carpet presence. Another fan described Leni as a “Briliant woman [sic],” showing admiration for her poise and presence.
One different commenter praised her appearance, calling her a “beautiful girl” and adding a heart emoji to convey affection. Another echoed the admiration, noting that she is beautiful like her mom.
One user, overwhelmed by her look, dropped a string of expressive emojis followed by the word “perfect.” Meanwhile, another viewer acknowledged both women’s beauty but pointed out that they don’t resemble each other.
The buzz around Leni’s red carpet moment came after a personal milestone: her 21st birthday on May 4. The celebration that followed was nothing short of star-studded—and deeply personal.
Leni marked the occasion at E11EVEN, a celebrity-favored nightclub in Miami, arriving at the venue around 1 a.m. with a group of about 20 close friends.
According to Page Six, she and her entourage pulled up in a luxury party bus and were escorted to a VIP table, where a glowing sign spelled out her name and a train of bottle service welcomed her to the celebration.
The night took a heartfelt turn when her father, four-time Grammy winner Seal, picked up a guitar around 2:15 a.m. and performed an acoustic rendition of his 1994 hit “Kiss from a Rose.” The tribute moved the crowd, as the singer then led partygoers in two rounds of “Happy Birthday” while champagne flowed across the room.
It was such a special moment,” a source said. “You could feel the love — and the party didn’t stop all night.”
Around 3:30 a.m., rapper 50 Cent took the stage to perform a string of his hit singles, including “Magic Stick,” “P.I.M.P.,” “In Da Club,” and “Candy Shop.” Seal, visibly enjoying the performance, danced in the crowd and recorded the moment on his phone.
Meanwhile, Heidi honored her daughter with a personal tribute on Instagram. The model and TV host posted a carousel of throwback photos of herself with Leni as a baby, writing, “Happy Birthday Leni I love you with all my heart ❤️.”
