Heidi Klum embraced traditional Bavarian dressing for Oktoberfest in Munich, stepping out in a pink dirndl with a plunging corset-style bodice and delicate white lace.
The 53-year-old model wore the fitted design over a white blouse with short puffed sleeves. Scalloped lace framed the low neckline and finished the sleeves, while vertical seams emphasised the shape of the pink bodice.
A patterned apron covered the full skirt, with a wide ribbon tied in a bow at her waist. Small pink motifs decorated the fabric, which fell below her knees and finished with a scalloped edge.
Heidi completed the look with a crown of white and yellow flowers and a white, heart-shaped quilted handbag on a gold chain. A delicate heart pendant and a large pink gemstone ring complemented her outfit.

Smiling as she walked through the illuminated festival grounds, Heidi gathered the side of her skirt in one hand as she made her way through the crowds.
Heidi Klum’s Oktoberfest appearance
Heidi also shared a glimpse of her preparations on Instagram, posting a clip of herself adjusting the front of her bodice before heading out. “Oktoberfest München 2026,” she captioned the post, adding a pink heart.
Her outing followed HeidiFest, the celebration she hosted at Munich’s Hofbräuhaus on September 17, ahead of Oktoberfest’s official opening.
The event returned for its second year and was broadcast on RTL for the first time. Husband Tom Kaulitz, daughter Leni, son Henry and mother Erna were among the announced guests, alongside Naomi Campbell and Nadja Auermann.

Heidi previously explained that she preferred exercising regularly without feeling the need to commit to lengthy workouts.
Speaking to Buro 24/7, she described an approach built around doing a manageable amount consistently. “I don’t think you have to do a lot, but if you do a little bit [regularly], I think that’s important,” she said.
Her activities included running outdoors, hiking, yoga and tennis, while trampolining also featured among the ways she stayed active.

Heidi previously spoke about preparing meals at home and involving her children in the kitchen.
In an interview with Women’s Health, she described making vegetable soup and keeping fruit and vegetables ready for morning smoothies. She also explained that she made room for favourite foods, recalling a dinner during truffle season.
“I had to have the truffle pizza and the truffle pasta. It’s not like I don’t [indulge], but not all the time,” she said.

Why Heidi Klum rejected calorie counting
Heidi addressed speculation about her diet in a 2023 interview with People, following a false report that she followed an extremely restrictive eating plan.
She explained that she was concerned about readers potentially copying something she had never recommended. “I’m not a calorie counter,” she said. “I never have. I’ve always been lucky that I’ve never had that obsession to count calories or whatever.”
Heidi also reflected on how her habits had changed since meeting Tom, explaining that she had become more relaxed about exercise than she had been earlier in her modelling career.
Heidi Klum’s comments on aging
In her July interview with Us Weekly, Heidi discussed gaining weight over the years and feeling comfortable with the change. “I think with age, we look better when we’re not as skinny,” she said.
She recalled that Tom had encouraged her to eat more, a suggestion that initially surprised her after years in an industry where she had faced pressure to be thinner. Looking back at photographs from earlier in her career, she said she had come to agree with him. “Proportion-wise, I look better bigger.”
Heidi also discussed ageing in a November 2025 interview with InStyle, explaining that she felt fortunate to experience it. “Everyone should age the way they want to age, and people should just be more graceful about it,” she said.
