Heidi Klum Solved Summer Red Carpets With a Half-Bikini, Half-Gown Look

As Hannah Montana once sang, you get the best of both worlds. Heidi Klum took in Paris Fashion Week in a dress that’s at once a floor-length black gown and a blue side-tie bikini. Take that, Angelina Jolie sticking her leg out!

Finally, a day-to-night look that also takes you from beach-to-gala and yacht-to-restaurant! The long blue ties create a balance in the silhouette, so that the material actually reaches almost the same length on both sides of Klum’s statuesque frame.

Heidi Klum was attending the Jean Paul Gaultier Paris Haute fall-winter 2023–2024 presentation, in—what else?—a John Paul Gaultier dress, which she revealed on Instagram was hand-sewn by the designer himself. She also added that it’s a “vintage” piece from 2017 (technically vintage means at least 40 years old; over 100 years old makes an item antique; Klum’s dress is just…old—but whatever), writing, “JPG I love you ❤️ always being a visionary of love and diversity in beauty. Beautiful you made me feel tonight ….. now I listen to the street sounds of Paris … inspired by the magical @juliendossena x @jeanpaulgaultier Haute Couture show today 🇫🇷❤️ CONGRATULATIONS JPG 2017 Vintage 💙🖤.”
