The daughter of the fashion industry icon also wore a matching set of sweat pants and a pair of white high-heeled shoes.

Her lengthy blonde hair was slicked back and fell onto her backside as she made her way along the catwalk.

At one point, Leni was pictured spending time with fellow model Jordan Barrett at the event.

Heidi and Leni both shared several shots from the fashion show to their respective Instagram accounts.

The America’s Got Talent judge initially began a relationship with her daughter’s father Flavio Briatore in 1998.

Prior to becoming involved with the businessman, she was married to her first husband, Ric Pipino, from 1997 until 2002.

She then began a relationship with Briatore and announced that she was pregnant with the couple’s child in December of 2003.

However, the two split up not long after the news was made available to the public, and Heidi went on to begin a relationship with her third husband, Seal, who served as Leni’s adoptive father.

Last December, the mother-daughter duo made a joint appearance on the cover of Vogue Germany, where the fashion industry icon was seen kissing her child’s cheek. 

The reality television personality also wrote a lengthy message that was directed at Leni in the post’s caption, and lovingly told her that she was ‘a really great person with your heart in the right place.’ 

Heidi went on to note that she wanted her daughter to remember the lessons that she had taught her throughout her lifetime.

‘I hope that no matter where you are, you always carry what I have given you over the past 16 years. For the big decisions in life, but also for the very little ones,’ she noted. 

The model then gave her daughter another suggestion that she hoped would be greatly valued as she began her modeling career.

She wrote: ‘And even if you often don’t want to hear your mom’s clever advice, here’s another one: never do something you don’t want to do and always listen to your gut instinct.’

Heidi also pointed out that Leni’s high-profile debut was likely a good omen and that her daughter had a bright future ahead of her.

‘I am sure that an exciting time is waiting for you. Vogue is the best way to start the career you dream of,’ she expressed.

The model concluded the message by noting that she would always support her daughter in all of her ventures and that she was happy to see her mature into an adult. 

Klum wrote: ‘And even if it is a little difficult for me to let go of you into this world, I will always do everything so that you are happy and that your dreams come true. I am proud to be your mom!’
