Heidi Klum Graces Another Cover
Heidi Klum has once again made headlines in the fashion world, landing the latest cover of L’Officiel Austria. On Instagram, the supermodel and TV personality posted a heartfelt thank-you note: “Thank you for having me on your Cover @lofficielaustria 🤍 @rankinarchive @lindahaymakeup @wendyiles_hair.” The series of images shows Klum in sleek, high-contrast frames that underscore her enduring appeal.
Behind The Glossy Frames
Klum’s carousel of five photos ranges from a tightly cropped headshot to full-length poses that showcase her signature poise. The photographer, Rankin (@rankinarchive), delivers crisp monochrome shots, while makeup artist Linda Hay (@lindahaymakeup) and hairstylist Wendy Iles (@wendyiles_hair) craft Klum’s flawless look. In one image, Klum’s windswept hair and bold brows lend an almost cinematic drama to the frame; in another, her relaxed stance in a minimalist dress speaks to her effortless versatility.
A Career Of Firsts
Born in Bergisch Gladbach, Germany, in 1973, Heidi Klum shot to fame in 1992 after winning a casting call contest. Over the past three decades, she’s broken barriers as the first German model to become a Victoria’s Secret Angel and has fronted campaigns for brands from Schwarzkopf to New Balance. Klum parlayed her runway success into television, serving as host and executive producer of Project Runway since 2004 and head judge on Germany’s Next Topmodel, a role she returned to this spring.
Transatlantic Influence
Today, Klum holds dual German and American citizenship and divides her time between New York City and Los Angeles. She has used her platform for philanthropic work—supporting anti–human-trafficking initiatives and local children’s hospitals—and launched ventures in fragrance, swimwear and a Halloween-themed annual party that draws A-list guests. Her magnetic presence makes each magazine cover a highly anticipated moment in fashion calendars.
Inside L’officiel Austria
L’Officiel Austria has featured a range of international stars since its 2014 launch, from Cannes attendees to runway legends. Klum’s appearance follows covers by Blackpink’s Lisa and model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. In an editorial accompanying the cover, she reflects on reinvention: “I’ve always believed in evolving—whether it’s as a model, a mom, or a creative partner in new projects.” The issue hits newsstands next week, with a digital release slated for the magazine’s Instagram and website.
What’s Next For Klum?
As she celebrates this milestone, Klum is gearing up for the fall season of Germany’s Next Topmodel, set to stream on ProSieben in October. She’s also in post-production on a documentary about sustainable fashion, and rumors swirl that she’ll host another televised Halloween special for Netflix. With each venture, she reinforces her status as a multi-faceted creator in fashion and entertainment.
Heidi Klum’s L’Officiel Austria cover shines a light on the teamwork behind top-tier editorials and reminds fans why she remains a global style authority. Whether in monochrome or color, on screen or in print, Klum continues to set the bar for models-turned-moguls.
