The 16-year-old arrived at her first Paris Fashion Week in a Gen Z take on her mother's signature peplum silhouette.
Family style traditions took center stage at Paris Fashion Week when Heidi Klum's youngest daughter, Lou, made her fashion week debut alongside her supermodel mother. The pair arrived at the Vivienne Westwood spring 2027 show wearing coordinated peplum silhouettes and towering platform shoes—though their interpretations diverged from there.
Klum embraced her characteristic high-glamour approach in a sculptural white blazer featuring dramatic rounded lapels. Gold buttons cinched the waist before the garment flared into a petal-shaped hem, which she paired with a matching floor-length column skirt and dark blue stacked platform heels. Lou reimagined the shape for her generation in an acid-wash pink denim top with a raw, flared waistline, paired with an asymmetric matching miniskirt. She accessorized with a snakeskin-print shoulder bag and floral-strapped platforms.
The mother-daughter connection extended to beauty choices as well. Both wore their hair down—Klum with tousled blonde waves around her shoulders, Lou with voluminous natural brunette curls—complemented by warm, smoky makeup.
At 16, Lou's appearance marked her first fashion week outing. Klum shares Lou and sons Henry and Johan with ex-husband Seal. The two also posed for photos at the show with Paris Jackson and Jaden Smith.
The Westwood show continues a longstanding relationship between Klum and the British house. She appeared as the bride at the close of Westwood's spring 2026 runway presentation and wore a bright white semi-sheer minidress with floral appliqués to Vogue World: Hollywood in 2025. Earlier this Paris Fashion Week, on October 2, she walked Ottolinger's spring 2027 show in a deconstructed suiting look.
Coordinated dressing runs in the family—Klum has previously matched with eldest daughter Leni, 22, with both putting their own spins on the classic little black dress. For Lou's inaugural fashion week, however, the tribute came with a distinctly Westwood sensibility.
