Heidi Klum brought Beverly Hills’ famous Rodeo Drive to a standstill yesterday with her thigh-high leather platform boots.
The German supermodel squeezed herself into a pair of Alexander McQueen kinky boots as she posed on the streets of LA’s shopping mecca for a German Vogue shoot.
The 35-year-old dangerously tottered on a street bench in the 12-inch high heels in the undoubted highlight of a wacky series of shots.
Her thigh-high boots appeared to ape the style of her famous friend Victoria Beckham.
Posh Spice caused a stir at her fragrance launch in New York in September when she stepped out in a ?3,300 Antonio Berardi thigh-high latex boots without a heel.
Heidi’s presence on Rodeo Drive soon attracted crowds of shoppers.
The 5ft 9 supermodel and mother of three also dared to bare her flanks in slashed-to-the-thigh dress.
In a throwback to Eighties fashion, the plunging black dress had unusual turquoise woolen balls in the puffy sleeves.
She wore the power dress with a quirky accessory – a baby pink plastic poodle handbag.
The 5ft 9 supermodel was given extra height with a pair of brown and black lace effect heels with an ankle strap.
Heidi also posed in another Eighties-style black mini dress with oversized lace collar and peep-toe ankle boots.
In a more demure ensemble, Heidi went for secretary chic in a black jacket and pencil skirt with white collar.
She gave the look an added fun factor with a red lips clutch bag with quirky toe definition nude heels.
But the shoot wasn’t just all black, Heidi was given a colour injection with a mermaid-esque Giles Deacon red scaled mini dress with matching red coat and killer black heels.
The day the mother-of-three was striking poses in busy Rodeo Drive, she was also gracing TV screens in her adopted home of America.
Heidi went undercover as a waitress in a LA pizza parlour as part of an April Fool’s Day special to trick members of the public.
With her face free of make-up, Heidi flirted up a storm as confused customers told her she looked like ‘Heidi Klum’ in the CBS special I Get That A Lot.
She said: ‘I didn’t wear makeup and I had my hair in a bun with a pencil in it.
‘I got to be the pizza girl. I got to be someone I am normally not. I was quite rude to people. I would bite their pizza and give it to them. I would drop the dough on the floor, pick it up and use it.
‘I got a lot of [phone] numbers. I was flirting. I don’t usually do that because I am happily married.’
Modelling job aside, Heidi was thrilled to find out she could resume her hit TV show Project Runaway after producers sorted out a legal wrangle.
Producers Weinstein Company wanted to move the fashion design reality show from NBC to Lifetime, but NBC sued the Weinsteins, claiming it had violating their contract.
Nearly a year later, the Weinsteins confirmed yesterday they have paid NBC for the rights to move the show to Lifetime so it is expected to hit TV screens later this year.
A joint statement from NBC and the Weinsteins said: ‘The Weinstein Company will pay NBCU for the right to move Project Runway to Lifetime. All of the parties are pleased with the outcome.’
Heidi has hosted the show since it began in 2004 and was nominated for an Emmy Award last year as Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition Program.
