Heidi Klum was caught by paparazzi while sunbathing topless with her husband in Cannes. Klum and her husband enjoyed their romantic moments on the balcony without letting the camera bother them.
German supermodel Heidi Klum was caught by paparazzi while sunbathing topless on a hotel balcony with her husband Tom Kaulitz in France for the Cannes Film Festival. These daring shots, following her luxurious red carpet outfits, exploded onto the tabloid scene.
The Cannes Film Festival, where the heart of world cinema beats, is this year stirring not only with awards but also with the secret lives of celebrities behind the festival. Legendary supermodel and television star Heidi Klum, one of the festival's most striking guests, made a boundary-pushing move on the balcony of her luxury hotel. The 52-year-old Klum, lying completely topless in only bikini bottoms while sunbathing, could not escape the lenses of tabloid reporters.
Unbothered by Cameras: Relaxed Attitudes on the BalconyHeidi Klum, bronzing while lying topless in the luxury hotel suite, was joined by her musician husband Tom Kaulitz, 16 years her junior. Kaulitz, guitarist of the band Tokio Hotel, first appeared on the balcony in pajama top and sunglasses, then also removed his shirt to sunbathe with his wife.
The relaxed and romantic demeanor of the couple, paying no attention to the cameras around, was captured moment by moment. The photos, quickly spreading on social media, have taken the internet by storm.
Heidi Klum Defies the Years
She Was the Star of the Red Carpet, Became the Balcony RebelJust days before these daring balcony moments, Heidi Klum had caused a storm on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival.
The famous model, who drew all eyes in a completely sheer, gold-leaf detailed magnificent dress, then appeared at another gala in a striking peach-toned design. These topless sunbathing shots, following the dignified and ultra-luxurious style on the red carpet, have divided tabloid followers.
The star, known for her passion for extraordinary costumes, had shown a completely different profile at the world-renowned Met Gala earlier this month. Contrary to her nudity in Cannes, she was covered from head to toe at the Met Gala.
The famous model, transformed into a living sculpture with a creative design, was almost unrecognizable while walking the red carpet. This is seen as the biggest proof that Klum views fashion as merely a playground.
Recharging Before Returning to ScreensPreparing to return to screens in July with the legendary fashion competition Project Runway, Heidi Klum is essentially recharging before her busy work schedule. Klum recently announced she adopted a new dog named Fritz from a shelter.
