Klum shared various photos and posts on her Instagram stories, revealing that her son opened the show for Lena Erziak Haute Couture in Paris. As models know, the models who pen and close the show play key roles in the show, making for some of the most memorable moments of the evening. 

“So proud of you Henry,” wrote Klum. “Opening the Lena Erziak Haute Couture Show in Paris." 

Klum is the mother of various kids, two of whom have decided to follow in her footsteps and enter the world of modeling. She has kids Leni, 20, Johan, 18, and Lou, 15, who she shares with her ex-husband Seal.

"It was very unexpected. He walked so good," she wrote, adding a heart eyes emoji.

Henry was interviewed by various outlets and shared some of his tips for people who are interested in becoming models themselves. “For walking the runway,” he said in a video posted by Vogue Germany. 

“I guess not being like the turtle and keeping my posture up and straightening my back. And looking forward.”

Over the years, Klum has opened up about parenting and her children's desire to follow in her footsteps, especially her daughter Leni, who's been modeling for some years now. 

"I said to her, at the end of the day you have to be happy with yourself," Klum said in an interview with PEOPLE, revealing some of the advice she'd shared.

"And don't do anything you don't want to do. It's okay to say no. You don't always have to please people. But I'm always with Leni. And she has a very good head on her shoulders."
