Leni Klum stuns at the Vienna opera ball in a 'wasp-waisted' dress and crystal necklaces

Every February, Vienna's cultural scene highlights a major international spectacle: the traditional Vienna Opera Ball. At this grand event, dozens of debutantes—women in white gowns and men in tailcoats—dance the night away under the watchful eyes of attendees in the balconies. From one of these balconies, at this year's 67th edition, the stunning Leni Klum turned heads with her remarkable ensemble.

A stunning sequined dress 

Leni, daughter of the renowned former Victoria’s Secret Angel Heidi Klum and Italian businessman Flavio Briatore, designed her look to radiate glamour, sophistication, and sparkle.

Specifically, the model, who recently appeared on a TV show with her mother wearing a buzz-worthy outfit, opted for a brown dress by Roland Mouret, a master tailor celebrated for his structured designs that accentuate the female form. The dress featured a round neckline covered in tulle, wide straps, and full sequined embroidery. But more than just its sparkle, what really caught the eye was how the dress sculpted her figure with a corset-like cut, creating a dramatic wasp-waist effect.

From the brand known for making the tiaras for debutantes at this event, where the opera house transforms into a dance floor, the model sported three crystal necklaces of varying sizes that framed her neckline like a statement choker. She also wore button earrings, a triple ear-cuff, a bracelet, and multiple rings, perfectly completing her standout ensemble.

From the balcony where she took in the Vienna debutante ball, Leni Klum chatted with British actor Ed Westwick, known for his roles in "Gossip Girl" and "DarkGame," and South African model Candice Swanepoel, who appeared at the 2024 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Swanepoel also turned heads in a striking white satin dress topped with a delicate cape draping her shoulders.
