Golden girl

On May 31, 2026, Heidi unveiled her new campaign for Calzedonia, showcasing her incredible physique in a series of sun-drenched beach photographs and video clips. The former Victoria’s Secret model was bathed in golden light as she reclined poolside wearing a shimmering golden-brown two-piece.

In January 2026 Heidi shared a snap of herself working out on holiday in St Barts. Taking to Instagram, Heidi posted a clip of herself exercising outdoors in a skimpy yellow bikini, confidently powering through resistance-band moves while standing poolside. With sweeping ocean views behind her and the sun glinting off the water, the scene felt more like a luxury campaign shoot than a workout.

In August 2025 Heidi looked like a mermaid emerging from the ocean in a tiny leopard print bikini bottom and strategically placed shells and a beautiful necklace, as she leaned against ocean rocks. "Woopsy" she captioned the cheeky shot.

The supermodel treated her husband Tom Kaulitz to a bikini photo that oozed siren-core on Valentine's Day in 2024. The black-and-white photo was shot by photographer Rankin and depicted the blonde bombshell showing off her toned physique in a swimming pool. Heidi wore a triangle bikini top and matching thong bottoms while her hair was styled into beach waves.

Heidi embraced a thong moment in a cute black and gold two-piece while enjoying a family boat trip in Europe. She visited several European destinations during her break, and during the Austria leg of her trip was joined by her three youngest children as well as her husband Tom.

Heidi couldn't have looked more relaxed as she floated in the water on a birthday trip. The supermodel wore a tiny floral two-piece as she lay face-up in the ocean and showcased her incredible figure during a sun-soaked getaway with her husband.

While not strictly a bikini, we couldn’t include a Heidi gallery without a snap of her strutting her stuff on the Victoria’s Secret catwalk. Shot back in 2001, Heidi looks like she's barely aged a day since. Her pretty white two-piece and wings are positively angelic.
