Heidi Klum Sunbathes Topless By The Pool In Nothing But A Black Thong

The former America's Got Talent judge took to Instagram on Thursday, May 1, to share a quick video of how she is preparing for the hotter months ahead.

In the video, the model, 51, is seen sunbathing by the pool. But instead of wearing a bikini, she sat in a lounge chair nearly naked.

Klum wore a tiny black thong in the video, but remained topless to avoid any tan lines. The 51-year-old angled the camera ever so slightly to show off her toned legs and backside, while also giving a better glimpse at the clear blue, sunny day she enjoyed.

" I'm super comfortable naked today. To the point where my kids are like, 'Mom, I have a friend coming over.' And I'm like, 'Have I ever been naked in the backyard when a friend was coming over?' " Klum recalled in her 2023 PEOPLE StyleWatch cover story.

She added, ⁘As soon as someone is coming, I put my top on. But if no one is there, sun's out, bums out. I just don't like tan lines because I wear so many different outfits. I don't want to have straps anywhere from tan lines. It's very strategic."

" I'm not shy about my femininity . I love dressing up where I have my cleavage showing, wearing miniskirts, high heels, gorgeous stockings — but that doesn't mean I want to go home with you," Klum said in a November 2024 interview with the U.K. newspaper The Times .
