Heidi Klum’s youngest daughter, Lou Samuel, made a rare public appearance during Paris Fashion Week.
The 16-year-old, whom Klum shares with singer Seal, joined her mom for several events, including an exclusive Audemars Piguet party on Oct. 2.
For the outing, Lou wore a striking floor-length blue dress, while Heidi opted for a black off-the-shoulder dress.
The following day, Lou and Heidi attended the Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood Spring/Summer 2027 show and later stepped out for the BoF500 Gala at the Shangri-La Hotel Paris.
For the Westwood show, Lou wore an acid-wash pink denim top with a flared waist, a matching asymmetrical miniskirt, floral platform heels and a snakeskin-print bag. Heidi wore a white blazer with a floor-length skirt and platform heels.
The proud mom told Vogue Germany that the trip to Paris was “a little early birthday present” for Lou, who turns 17 on Oct. 9.
“Vivienne Westwood and Andreas [Kronthaler] are very dear to me,” Heidi said. “I had the privilege of walking in his show last year – and I thought it would be the perfect first fashion moment for my beautiful Lou in Paris at Fashion Week.”
Lou also spoke to the publication about what it was like to experience Fashion Week for the first time.
“I feel like I’ve always been in the spotlight, basically since birth. It’s just part of who I am and my siblings are,” she said. “But I feel like now, actually going to a real fashion event and experiencing high fashion firsthand, I can express myself more and present myself officially, instead of just walking around and being photographed. It really means a lot to me. I’m honestly incredibly nervous because it’s my first time.”
Lou’s older sister Leni Klum, 22, has built a career in modeling, while her brother Henry Samuel, 21, made his runway debut in Paris in January 2025.
When asked whether her siblings had offered any advice, Lou said watching them pursue their own paths has given her confidence.
“I don’t really get any advice from my siblings, but watching what they do and seeing that they can do it too—and we all grew up in the same environment—gives me so much confidence.”
Heidi shares Lou, Henry and 19-year-old Johan with ex-husband Seal. Seal adopted Heidi’s daughter Leni during their marriage.
