Rising star: the look of the teenager without makeup was very different from the glamor of her Vogue Germany cover photo (the first), which she took with her mother
In December, Leni got excited on Instagram after buying a copy of her Vogue Germany cover for the January / February 2021 edition, which also featured her mother Heidi, 47.
“MEIN ERSTES✨ COVER”, she wrote, which in German means: “My first cover”.
‘I couldn’t wait to buy one, or ten …’ she added, as she marked the magazine and her mother.
Leni and Heidi wore multicolored suits for the cover photo, with the model in training wearing a blue blazer and big red pants, while her mother turned him around in a red blazer and flowing blue pants.
The former Project Runway host shared the cover in December with a warm caption for her daughter, originally in German.
Cover girls: Heidi talked about her daughter and the cover on Instagram in December, while lamenting that her daughter could not have a ‘normal’ childhood because of her parents
‘I’m so proud of you. And it’s not because you chose your own path, ‘she began.
‘I know, that no matter which way you go, you will be your own woman. You always know exactly what you want and what you don’t want. You are not a mini-me and I am glad you can now show who YOU are, ‘she continued, before admitting that her daughter could never have a’ normal ‘childhood because of who her parents were.
Although Leni’s biological father is Italian businessman Flavio Briatore, the two broke up shortly after the model announced her pregnancy.
She and her future husband Seal were together when she was born in May 2004, and Heidi said the 57-year-old singer is her real father.
