According to the report, the model also carried a white, heart-shaped quilted handbag and wore a large pink gemstone ring.

The model shared a glimpse of her preparations on Instagram, posting a clip of herself adjusting her bodice before heading into the illuminated festival grounds. Her appearance follows the recent "HeidiFest" celebration she hosted at Munich's Hofbräuhaus on September 17, an event that was broadcast on RTL for the first time.

A "breakfast of champions" and the end of calorie counting

Beyond the fashion, Klum has become vocal about a lifestyle that prioritizes consistency over intense, lengthy workouts. According to her interview with Buro 24/7, she advocates for a manageable amount of consistent activity rather than grueling sessions. She has also emphasized the importance of preparing meals at home, such as making vegetable soup and keeping fresh produce ready for morning smoothies.

The report notes that Klum is "not a calorie counter," a stance that marks a significant departure from the rigid dietary standards often found in the high-fashion industry. in November 2025, she even shared her "breakfast of champions" on Instagram, which consisted of boiled eggs, buttered toast, avocado, celery, and cherry tomatoes.. She expressed concern about readers potentially copying her habits, clarifying that she does not follow a strict caloric regime.

How Tom Kaulitz helped shift her post-modeling body image

Klum’s relationship with her body has shifted significantly since meeting her husband, Tom Kaulitz. She has openly discussed the transition from the intense pressure of the modeling industry to a more relaxed approach to her physique. Klum stated that she feels she looks better with more proportion,noting, "I think with age, we look better when we're not as skinny ."

This shift in perspective was supported by Kaulitz, who encouraged her to eat more, helping her move away from the obsession with thinness that defined her earlier career. Reflecting on her journey, Klum emphasized that everyone should be allowed to age in the way they choose, suggesting that society should be more graceful about the process.

The distinction between HeidiFest and the 2026 Oktoberfest stroll

While the report highlights the star-studded nature of the recent HeidiFest—which included guests like Naomi Campbell and Nadja Auermann—it remains unclear if these celebrities joined Klum for her public stroll through the Oktoberfest grounds. Additionally, while her family members, including daughter Leni and son Henry, were announced as guests for the Hofbräuhaus event, the report does not confirm if they accompanied her to the Braeurosl area during the festival's second day.
