Like mother, like daughter: Heidi Klum’s youngest child, Lou Sulola Samuel, just made her Paris Fashion Week debut. Accompanying her mom on a trip to the fashion capital, the teenager—who turns 17 in just a few days—was seen matching Klum’s sartorial energy at the Vivienne Westwood Spring/Summer 2027 show and, later, at the BOF 500 gala.

The double-whammy of events made for rare appearances from Samuel, who has kept a fairly private life despite her public-facing parents. (Of course, she’s made some exceptions—most notably for her mother’s annual Halloween bash and father Seal’s 2024 Los Angeles premiere of The Book Of Clarence.)

The mother-daughter duo coordinated for both of the October 3 outings, starting with Westwood peplums and later changing into voluminous minis. First, for creative director Andreas Kronthaler’s presentation, Samuel selected a printed denim corset and matching miniskirt, while Klum wore a white blazer with a draped shawl collar and long maxi skirt. Both front-row guests finished things off with platform pumps.

For their party looks, the 16-year-old kept things in the Westwood fam with a white off-the-shoulder silk-satin minidress, while her mother changed into a red leather Saint Laurent Spring 2018 ensemble. The supermodel’s look featured a dramatic, sculptural strapless bodice covered in silver studs, and a fiery miniskirt with an uneven hem.

The Project Runway judge has long instilled a sense of personal style in her children, having famously revealed that the “number one” rule in her household is to “always look cool.” As for rule number two? “Don’t forget about rule number one.”

Klum shares Samuel, along with her three siblings, Leni Klum, Henry Samuel, and John Samuel, with her ex-husband Seal, who she was married to from 2005 to 2014. Her current husband, Tom Kaulitz, likewise plays a big part in raising the children, and reportedly even asked for their permission before proposing to their mom in 2018.
