Heidi Klum published a rare archival photo in her youth and compared herself to her daughter Leni

Supermodel Heidi Klum posted an archival photo on Instagram* of her youth, and then shared a photo of her 19-year-old daughter Leni, who followed in her footsteps and is making a career in the modeling business.

In a file photo, Klum, now 50, poses in a white T-shirt and jeans.

Heidi Klum and her daughter often appear together. Heidi and Leni previously came under fire for their candid photos together after the brand's advertising campaign was met with controversy. Many found it inappropriate that mother and daughter were posing together in their underwear. At the same time, Leni herself said in an interview that she really liked the photo shoot and the filming process, and she was not particularly interested in negative comments: despite the criticism, they took part in the brand’s campaigns more than once.

Earlier, Heidi Klum and her husband Tom Kaulitz, who is 17 years younger than her, celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary. The supermodel admitted that she is often criticized for having an affair with a man who is much younger than her, but noted that she herself does not feel any discomfort about this and remembers it only when they start talking to her about it. Heidi herself boasts a wonderful figure for her age, which she is not shy about showing off - the supermodel is often photographed topless by the paparazzi.
