Heidi Klum knows how to take a vacation. When the supermodel isn't busy at work, shooting campaigns and working on her TV projects, she can almost always be found at the beach. Klum's latest getaway destination was St. Barts, where she rung in the New Year alongside her husband, Tom Kaulitz. During her extended stay, she sported plenty of trendy resort looks, but her most recent - a beachside 'fit featuring a DIY whale tail - might be her best yet.
Heidi Klum is ringing in 2026 the only way she knows how: with barely-there looks, of course. The supermodel always finds a way to incorporate naked fashion trends into anything she's doing, from doing ad campaigns in lingerie to hosting Project Runway and Germany's Next Top Model in sheer attire. So naturally, her New Year's holiday was no exception. To celebrate 2026, Klum jetted to celebrity vacation hotspot St. Barts with her husband, Bill Kaulitz.
Klum believes the best beachwear is extra breezy. "I grew up going to nude beaches with my parents, so I'm a nudist," she told Ocean Drive magazine in a 2018 interview. "I have no problems with nudity at all. I'm very free. When I go to the beach, it's in a very remote place where there are not a lot of people, and I like to go topless."
Heidi Klum is a woman of many traditions. Among them are showing out during Halloween in the most unhinged, OTT costumes, helping steer young talent via her reality TV shows such as Project Runway, Germany's Next Top Model, or America's Got Talent, and routinely starring in Intimissimi campaigns with her daughter, Leni. Though Klum has been an intimates model for nearly the entirety of her decades-long modeling career, the mother-and-daughter duo only began fronting the Italian intimates label's campaigns together three years ago.
