Heidi Klum Arrives At The Cannes Film Festival In A Curve-Hugging Wrap Dress
Film festival season has begun, and things are kicking off with the Cannes Film Festival, which is often attended by some of today's biggest and upcoming stars.
Though most people tend to look forward to the actors who hop onto the red carpet, there are always a few added celebrities from different fields who still step out and impress. One of whom is Project Runway star Heidi Klum, who has attended the festival for several years now, stepping out in elegant looks and dresses.
This year, for the media personality's first festival appearance on Tuesday, she attended the premiere of La Venus Electrique in a curve-hugging, peach gown. The strapless springtime dress had a structured bodice with a super plunging neckline that led to a large floral embellishment in the center. The wrapped fabric hugged her figure as extra fabric trailed behind her with a train.
Fans React To Heidi's Dress & Suspect She Gained Weight On Social Media
After high-quality pictures and videos of the 52-year-old at the film festival were shared on social media, fans, fashion critics, and more had a lot to say about her look for the evening.
There were a lot of style enthusiasts torn about the dress, with many finding it flattering and writing about how beautiful it is, while others thought Heidi could've done better for the look that kicked off her time at the festival. However, there was also a lot of attention on how it emphasized her shape, making her look a bit more curvy than usual.
"She gained weight," speculated a fan on Instagram. "I love to see that it happens even to supermodels once they are a little bit older."
"[She's] healthy, curvy, womanly, and most of all confident," added another.
One user wrote they did "not recognize her," as another commented, "She is beautifully representing all of us luscious older women with curves and happy lives!"
