Overview
- On Feb. 2, Klum and designer Marina Hoermanseder shared behind‑the‑scenes photos and video detailing the dress’s construction from concept to red carpet.
- The team created a neck‑to‑knees mold of Klum’s body, then wetted, stretched and heat‑shaped nude leather over the form for a precise fit.
- Multiple paint tests were used to match Klum’s skin tone before each side was sanded, sprayed and lacquered to achieve a reflective sheen.
- The garment was built as two pieces buckled together, which limited mobility; Klum called it a showstopper and said she could not sit in it.
- During the ceremony she changed into a black strapless dress and posted a video eating a burger, as coverage also highlighted Hoermanseder’s signature body‑molded leather work worn by stars such as Kylie Jenner, Naomi Campbell and Rihanna.
