Heidi Klum and her daughter Leni ensured all eyes were on them on Thursday, as they arrived at the annual amfAR Cinema Against AIDS gala during the 77th Cannes Film Festival.
The supermodel, 50, stood out from the crowd in an extravagant dusky pink gown, made of voluminous layers of ruffled tulle.
The avant-garde dress wrapped around her svelte waist before flowing into a dramatic train, leaving her toned legs on dull display.
Heidi added an extra few inches to her already statuesque 5ft 9in frame with a pair of satin stilettos.
Adding even more glamour to the eye-catching look, she sported large bejewelled earrings as she beamed for the cameras.

While, Leni, 18, contrasted with her famous mother by opting for a fitted black gown, that left little to the imagination.
Her daring mesh dress was entirely see-through, allowing a glimpse of her slender figure underneath, while roses were strategically placed over her bust and waist to preserve her modesty.
The model added matching mesh gloves and boosted her height with a pair of black high heels.
Leni completed her striking outfit with a dazzling diamond necklace, while pinning her dark hair back in an elegant half-up-half-down style.
Ever the proud mother, Heidi cosied up to her daughter on the red carpet and planted a sweet kiss on her cheek.
The German beauty later underwent a wardrobe change and slipped into a racy gown of her own, to rival Leni’s.
Heidi bared all in a sheer gown covered entirely in feathers, while exposing her sensational figure underneath.
Turning up the heat, she went braless under the show-stopping dress and flashed a glimpse at her nude underwear.

She swapped her pink shoes for a pair of bejewelled silver high heels and added diamond statement earrings and a large pearl necklace.
Perhaps feeling the evening chill, Heidi also donned a white blazer over the top as she wrapped an arm around Leni.
Their appearance comes just hours after the duo displayed their jaw-dropping physiques in skimpy bikinis as they larked around on a diving board at famous Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc.
Heidi shares Leni with her businessman ex Flavio Briatore, but her ex-husband Seal officially adopted Leni in 2009, four years after marrying Heidi.
Leni subsequently changed her name to Helene Samuel, reflecting the singer’s real name of Henry Samuel, though she goes by Leni Olumi Klum professionally.
Each year, the gala held in Cannes brings a slew of A-listers to the south of France in order to bring awareness and raise funds for the nonprofit.

Jane Campion became the first female director to win in 1993 with The Piano, followed by a nearly three-decade gap until Julia Ducournau received the award for Titane in 2021.
