Like mother, like daughter. Leni Klum turned to mom Heidi Klum‘s closet to find the perfect dress for prom night.“Prom night in mamas dress,” the model, 18, wrote via Instagram on Monday, May 15, alongside three photos posing in a black, strapless gown.

The dress appears to be the same dress that Heidi, 48, wore in 1998 to HBO’s Comic Relief VIII event at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall in New York.

Leni clearly got her mother’s approval to borrow the dress as the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model added a heart-eyes emoji in the comments.The teenager has previously spoken about Heidi’s influence on her modeling career, revealing in a September 2021 interview for Rollacoaster that she was approached by Brandy Melville and offered a job when she was just 12. “I was freaking out because I loved the brand,” she recalled at the time. “And I was shopping with my mom that day so I was like, ‘Mom, please, I’m begging you!

I’ve wanted to do this for so long. You can do it, why can’t I?’”However, the Project Runway star told her daughter that she was “too young” for photo shoots. “Ever since then I’ve been begging and begging,” Leni added.However, once Heidi gave her the go-ahead in 2020, the America’s Got Talent judge has offered her daughter plenty of advice and support. “She’s always telling me, ‘Just be true to yourself and don’t let what other people are saying affect you or change what you’re doing.
