Heidi Klum waited a ‘whole year’ to wear her Grammys 2026 ‘naked’ dress

Heidi Klum’s baring new details about her barely-there 2026 Grammys look.

When the supermodel hit the red carpet earlier this month wearing a nude leather dress by German designer Marina Hoermanseder that had been custom-molded to her curves, the “naked” look instantly went viral.

But Klum, 52, recently revealed that she originally planned to wear the head-turning outfit to last year’s show instead.

“A different dress came in,” she told People, “and I changed my mind again last minute.”

But Klum was set on the look getting its Grammys moment, so she waited another 12 months to bring it out.

“I thought this is a true Grammy dress because people are a little bit more expressive there with their fashion,” the style star said.

While the dress made endless headlines, it wasn’t the easiest to wear.

“It was very hard to walk in it because it is very hard material,” Klum admitted.

“It’s kind of like an armor piece, front and back. There’s no slit, and so there is just no give. So you can only do baby steps, tiny little baby steps,” she added. “That’s why there’s a lot of fun memes going around now of me running around on the red carpet.”

Where is this dress now, you might wonder? Klum “got to keep” the iconic look, and it’s now “in its gorgeous box and back in the basement.”
