Another month, another 90s supermodel offspring to keep tabs on. This time, we're getting to know Leni Klum, the freshly 18-year-old daughter of German supermodel Heidi Klum. She's already strutted the runway for the likes of Dolce & Gabanna in Sicily, and is a brand ambassador for both Dior Beauty and GHD.
