July 2024 · 3 minute read

Heidi Klum is a celebrity who rose to fame thanks to her modeling work. As a supermodel, she has worn many expensive outfits on the job. In one instance, she presented a special bra from Victoria’s Secret that cost $11 million. Unfortunately, Klum accidentally broke it while trying to show off an interesting talent.

Heidi Klum was a Victoria’s Secret Angel for 13 years 

Klum was born and raised in Germany. She started modeling in her home country in the early 1990s and soon expanded her career worldwide. Klum became an international sensation in the latter half of the decade when she appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated and became a model for Victoria’s Secret.

In 1999, Klum officially became a Victoria’s Secret Angel. She went on to become a popular spokesperson for the brand. Klum also wore the “Fantasy Bra” during three different Victoria’s Secret fashion shows.

Klum ended her stint with Victoria’s Secret in 2010. She told Page Six at the time, “All good things have to come to an end. I will always love Victoria’s Secret. It has been an absolutely amazing time.”

Heidi Klum once broke an $11 million bra while yodeling

In 2003, Klum was promoting a “Fantasy Bra” that cost $11 million. She appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno wearing the bra with the intention of showing it to the audience. However, in the middle of the show, it broke.

Klum recently appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, where she shared that this was “the worst public wardrobe malfunction” she had ever had.

“I was yodeling, and as I was yodeling, it broke, naturally,” she said. “I was supposed to show it and I couldn’t anymore and I was like, ‘Oh my god, they’re really gonna get mad at me because now I can’t show why I’m supposed to be here. And then they had to go on a commercial break. Martin Short was there, and he fixed it all. It was funny.”

When Ellen DeGeneres asked Klum about the connection between yodeling and the bra breaking, Klum explained that yodeling requires her to make a lot of chest movement, which could snap a bra.

Heidi Klum’s legs are reportedly very expensive

Things in Klum’s world can get quite expensive. However, it is just not the clothes she wears that are pricey. In fact, some of her body parts are insured for millions of dollars.

Speaking to DeGeneres, Klum explained that a client took out an insurance policy on her legs. However, her legs are worth different prices.

“When I was young, I fell into a glass and I have a big scar,” she said about the leg that cost less to insure. “Obviously I put so much spray tan on right now you can’t see it right now but, yeah, one was more expensive than the other one. It’s weird the things some people do.”

Back in 2017, Klum revealed to People that the more expensive leg was insured for $1.2 million, while the other one was only insured for $1 million.
