We often theorize, on the site and in life, that some people can wear giant bags and still look good. This might be a way to test if that’s true.
Okay, so it’s not QUITE a giant bag, but it’s a very loosely draped halter. And there could not be less to it when you see it from this angle, although let’s face it, nobody cares about this angle when you have a vast expanse of lovingly buffed Klum torso in the offing:
The dress still doesn’t want to do that much, other than slouch. Kind of like how I feel some weekends, and Mondays, and all the other days. But it has the benefit of being slung around the nude form of a burnished German supermodel, though, which gives it a bit more of a graceful form — or at least the will to live — than if it were draped all over me. It’s a very specific case of, DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME, unless you are a supermodel who is genetically incapable of dumpyness.

My god. She looks gorgeous.
Cheesy blue on an over-tanned blonde – I dont’ think so.
Ditto. She’s working the dress and vice versa. And it’s nice to see her out of her uniform of super-tight mini dresses.
I think it might have looked better on someone curvier. Clearly, she looks good. She’s Heidi Klum, but I think she looks good in spite of it, not because of it.
I’m sorry but it just looks lifeless to me. Perhaps if the draping were better?
Dude, that is hoochie mama wear. Put something away, Heidi. She’s definitely hitting that pathetic genre enjoyed by Halle Berry and Cameron Diaz. You’re getting older. You are still pretty. If we all agree, will ya put it away?
Hoochie dress + too much tan is not necessary when you’re so good looking.
It’s SO baggy yet SO revealing and she’s SO orange…..just no. Heidi, you’re gorgeous, we get it, but this is frighteningly jersey-shore adjacent. You don’t need to try this hard!
This doesn’t whisper ‘Hi, there’ or even scream ‘LOOK AT ME!!’ from the hilltops as much as it hits you over the head with a 2 x 4 and says ‘Do I have your attention now, you pathetic insignificant mewling little mortal, you?’
While of course it looks good on her, I’m also a little embarrassed for her at the same time. This is very try-hard.
is it me, or does the little bit of bunching at her hip (on the front-side photo) look like she’s caught a bit of her dress in her undies?
This works for me, but only because of the colour – it’s such a gorgeous vibrant blue that it makes me think of Caribbean beaches, which is never a bad thing.
Probably off topic, but WHY, WHY after 4 children do her boobs not hang to her waist? The unfairness of it all makes me cry. (not really
)
the weird draping at the midsection looks like a giant blue outie (not to be confused with Audi, in the background). But nice color and love the way it shows her shoulders and back. Just, not quite there, I think…
This is fine in a way, but you should have seen what she wore on the finale of Germany’s Next Topmodel: http://www.styleproofed.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Bildschirmfoto-2011-06-10-um-15.08.52.png this is just… WOW. A harlequin suit with a yellow-black-chequered thingy underneath it.. wow.
OH Heidi!, your head is looking too large for your body. The cure: Sammiches. Lots and lots of Sammiches.
Just goes to show – if you’re incredibly gorgeous and famous, you can wear your new beach cover-up to formal events and actually make it work.
I hate it. She looks naked, and the draping is limp and not enhancing anything. I’m beginning to think Heidi has terrible taste, and the tan is going a long way as evidence there.
I am really not a fan of this dress….the back doesn’t fit and it is too slouchy and the front is way too skimpy. I feel like with a few modifications this gown could have been a lot classier and resonated what she stands for. http://www.bravoerunway.com
Bloody hell. She looks amazing, and really COOL.
I’m guessing there was some actual sewing and cutting involved in this dress, but it doesn’t seem to matter. As the chorus has said, this is trying awfully hard to magnificent sexy beast-ish, and it’s a little strident. It’s not *bad* or terrifying or anything, but it does seem to be screaming a message at me that doesn’t match up.
But I do kind of like the fabric color. Her tan, not so much.
NEED the shoes, though!
I’m late to this party, but I agree with Katherine up there.
Everything started out so well…
…and then she turned around. *sigh* It could have been so nice.
Props for the gorgeous color; and obviously, she’s Heidi Freakin’ Klum so she is gorgeous. But the fabric thingy…..I can’t bring myself to call it a dress. Why didn’t Seal tell her that she forgot her clothes?
It’s not just NO, it’s HELL NO!!
@Holly – YES!!!111
@TaraMisu – no, not fair. Genetic lottery winner – what???
Yes to the color. No to cutting up a jersey sheet and wadding it around a model and calling it haute coture.
That colour is absolutely stunning!
I love that 110 people have said that anyone can pull off that dress. Clearly, you have at least 110 fashion models who read this blog.
I do like this but I don’t like the expanse of bareness. Could the drape have been higher and the shape still kept? I was thinking a clasp somewhere up there but that would’ve ruined the drape. Or maybe a feature bra? Like in gold or something. Should I shoot myself now?
She looks good, but I’m a little worried about Heidi’s sandwich consumption. When was the last time she SAW one?
Dude, her pubes are saying peekaboo.
She looks kind of insanely thin in this dress / possibly otherwise, too. Seal! Take your wife out to dinner, pronto!
By far she is the most beautiful woman on earth. i am not saying this cuz I am german too, but she really is the best out there compared to all the fakeness that exists today.

God, no. It screams desperate. You do not wear beachwear other than on the beach. Didn’t work the last time, not working this time either.
Halo, I think looking naked is the point. She’s stunning. It doesn’t feel desperate to me. It feels Grecian. And I like her tan too. She looks younger in this than she has in years. The super-tight mini-dresses are too young for her now, but this is pretty awesome.
Desperate enough??????????
Hate it. Double hate it because she has the money and the body to wear anything and this is what she chose.
does she have bad hair? I feel like I never see her with anything other than that tight bun, except on Halloween.
Notice how none of the women are looking at her and ALL the men are staring. That says something about her body and the dress….
But heaven forbid someone on Project Runway sends this thing out on a model. I can just hear Nina Garcia and Michael Kors saying how rushed and shapeless it is, and I’m not sure Heidi would be defending it.
