The 18-year-old model and the 59-year-old singer were all smiles at the highly anticipated premiere of the film. Leni wore a strapless mini dress, paired with pointed-toe slingbacks and a black clutch, finishing the look with a red lip and matching nails.

Seal seemed to be excited to walk the red carpet with his daughter, wearing a black Prada jacket, black pants, and white sneakers. Heidi and Seal divorced in 2014, however they have remained friendly, and the singer continues to raise Leni as his own.

The talented musician adopted her in 2009 after marrying Heidi in 2005. The young model’s biological father is Italian businessman Flavio Briatore, who broke up with the supermodel when she was pregnant with Leni.

It’s not surprising that Leni decided to become a model, following in her mother’s footsteps. “My mom and I just have the same love for the same thing,” she previously said, explaining to People that she got “help starting off,” showing appreciation for her parents.

“I know that people would dream to start off with what I had. I’m so grateful that I’ve been able to take what was gifted to me by my mom,” she said, describing Heidi as “an inspiration.”
