Heidi Klum: Henry Dresses Up in Girly Costumes

Posted by Karl Erikson



You've gotta figure that when your mom is a supermodel like Heidi Klum, you're going to learn a thing or three about fashion, even if only by osmosis. Leni, 4-1/2, Henry, 3, and Johan, 2, have a big costume closet at home so they can play dress-up. And there don't seem to be any gender roles imposed in Heidi's and Seal's house.

Heidi says that Henry wears all the costumes, including his sister's princess gowns. "There's nothing wrong with that," explains Heidi. The flashy sequined dresses are lots "more fun than Buzz Lightyear." Yeah, try explaining that to the kids on the playground in a few years. I mean, it's not like I've never dressed up as a woman...even recently. But in school? Hell no. I was already getting my ass kicked enough.



Heidi says she's found a new design niche: inventing boy-friendly costumes. "I should make costumes for boys," she says. "They'd have to be blinged out. Why can't Luke Skywalker be covered in Swarovski crystals?"

Um, maybe because he's Luke Freaking Skywalker? Maybe she's thinking about Luke's little-known brother, Liberace Skywalker. Now that guy had a fabulous rhinestoned lightsaber.

I think its cool that the gender stereotyping her kids will see on the playground doesn't follow them into the dress-up 'closet'... Perhaps if Henry gets it all out now he won't need to dress up in his later life- like um? you. I bet he's a lot cuter in a dress than you were in that get up a while back! ; )
