Heidi Klum’s son, 19-year-old Henry Samuel, made waves at Paris Fashion Week when he stepped onto the runway for the Lena Erziak Haute Couture Spring-Summer 2025 Show on January 28, 2025. This debut not only marked a significant milestone in Henry’s life but also placed him firmly in the spotlight as the son of two iconic figures—model Heidi Klum and musician Seal.

Opening the prestigious fashion presentation, Henry displayed confidence and poise in a striking all-black suit with a daring cutout in the back. His dark, down dreadlocks added a unique flair to his look, highlighting his striking resemblance to his famous parents. The fashion world buzzed with excitement, as Henry’s entrance symbolized a new generation of the Klum family gracing the runway.

Heidi, proud of her son’s accomplishment, shared a heartfelt message on Instagram, expressing her amazement and pride. “So proud of you Henry,” she wrote, sharing a video of his runway moment. She also posted several behind-the-scenes moments of the show, showing the close bond she shares with her children. “It was so unexpected. He did so good,” Heidi gushed, adding a personal touch to the event’s coverage.

While Henry’s runway debut may have been a surprise to many, he received advice from both his mother and sister Leni, who herself has been active in the fashion industry. Leni, who has walked in numerous shows and starred in campaigns with her mother, offered Henry practical tips, like keeping a straight posture and maintaining eye contact.

However, despite the positive attention, the debut also ignited some debate online. Some observers praised Henry for his striking features and modeling potential, with many noting how he took after his famous parents in terms of looks and charisma. “Looks just like his mom and dad! All grown up and very handsome,” one commenter wrote. Others even compared him to a young Lionel Richie, admiring his strong facial features.

Yet, not all reactions were as complimentary. Many critics quickly labeled Henry a “nepo baby,” suggesting that his famous lineage played a significant role in his opportunity to walk the runway. “Funny how all these celebrities’ kids just get stuff handed to them! It’s such a joke,” one commenter remarked. Others echoed this sentiment, saying his career would not have been possible without the influence of his parents.

Despite the mixed opinions, Henry’s debut at Paris Fashion Week remains an exciting moment in his life. Though he has expressed an interest in multiple creative fields, including sports, music, and film, his runway appearance shows that he is open to exploring the world of fashion. His confidence on the runway and the pride of his famous family demonstrate that he has the potential to carve out his own path in the fashion industry—whether it’s as a model or in another creative field.
