Story summary

Heidi Klum, the 53-year-old model, shared a provocative photo on Instagram during a Los Angeles heatwave. In the post, she was seen sunbathing poolside in nothing but a black thong and aviator sunglasses while reclining on a patio sofa. A strategically placed dog accompanied her, with an orange towel underneath, a black Chanel purse nearby, and what appeared to be olives in a bowl.

Klum captioned the photo, “❤️🔥 It’s hot in LA,” setting it to the song “Sunset Paradise” by L.D.B Time to Chill. She previously shared another less-is-more sunbathing style post on Instagram earlier that month, captioned “M☀️RNING 🥰🌴🐠❤️.” Klum has been the face of Intimissimi, an Italian lingerie brand, for years and often promotes their products in her social media posts.
