Heidi Klum’s daughter Leni, 18, stuns in Frankies Bikinis photos

Leni Klum recently turned 18 – and judging from the snaps on her social media, the aspiring model wants everyone to know she’s all grown up.

Heidi Klum’s lookalike daughter Leni is all grown up.

The 18-year-old model officially became an adult recently and her social media feed appears to have matured with her.

Leni, the eldest daughter of modelling royalty Heidi, shared a series of bikini snaps on Instagram this week – proving she’s got what it takes to follow in her German mother’s footsteps.

In the snaps, she can be seen snoozing in the sun while wearing a pink printed two-piece swimsuit from celebrity favourite Frankies Bikinis, a brand famously worn by JLo in her “killer selfie”.

She rocked the “Harlow” halter top, which retails for $170, and “Sarah” thong bottom, priced $140, both in a cute, blush, floral pattern, dotted with tiny butterflies.

The Dior Beauty ambassador shielded her face with a straw sun hat, captioning her post with a sleeping emoji.

Fans were quick to praise the up-and-coming model – who has already scored several high-profile runway gigs – labelling the snaps “stunning” and “amazing”.

Leni has just recently graduated from high school, sharing a post with fans last week, captioned: “Class of 2022.”

She also graced the front cover of Glamour magazine in Germany – just two months after appearing alongside her mum for Harper’s Bazaar Germany, both appearing on April editions of the prestigious fashion title.

She was also spotted on the hot pink carpet at the 2022 Canneseries Festival the same month, wearing a bold green two-piece and black biker boots.

Her shamrock green blazer and matching shorts were worn over a white shirt, turning heads at the event in the south of France.

The rising model walked her first runway in Milan last October, with dad Seal supportively attending the event and posing beside her on the red carpet.

She made her catwalk debut two months earlier at the designer brand’s star-studded Alta Moda spectacular in August, strutting through Venice’s St Mark’s Square in couture and a crown.

Among the famous faces in the crowd were Jennifer Lopez, Kris Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian, Vogue reported at the time.

Leni was born in 2004 and adopted by Seal after mum Heidi split with her biological father, businessman Flavio Briatore.

Leni began modelling as a teen and has more than 1.4 million followers on Instagram.
