German-born model-actress Heidi Klum has a cheeky response to trolls criticising her for going topless.
“It’s just breasts,” the supermodel said on her Instagram Story, in between photos of her PDA-packed moments with husband Tom Kaulitz from her vacation in St. Barths.
Klum, who has been sharing glimpses from her tropical holiday on her social media, has been seen in a number of barely-there swimwear since Christmas—including ditching her bikini tops entirely while sunbathing on the beach.

The actress seems to be on a spree of topless beach days. She rang in 2026 by posting a topless picture of her in a pair of red thong bikini bottoms as she sat by the pool with her “Tokio Hotel” guitarist husband.
Klum had earlier revealed her topless habits, including her children’s reactions to it.
“I’ve always been very open with my body. When I’m suntanning in the backyard, I might not have a top on," she said during a July interview.
She also revealed that her children have inherited the same confidence. "I’m European …my kids don’t know me any other way and are probably more easy going with their bodies because of it.”
Klum jokingly shared that her children always remind her to put a shirt on when their friends are coming over.
