Heidi Klum, the 52-year-old model and television personality, has recently reappeared in the public eye through a series of images and campaign materials featuring her in various swimwear. These appearances notably align with the 11-year anniversary of remarks made by Donald Trump in 2015, where he stated Klum was "no longer a 10."
Klum's recent Calzedonia campaign, released on Monday, showcases her in bikinis, a visual echo to the period when Trump's comments generated widespread media attention. Klum herself publicly addressed Trump's statement at the time, posting a humorous video on Twitter depicting a man in a Trump mask removing a "10" from her shirt to reveal a "9.99" price tag. The latest campaign imagery, depicting Klum in slender silhouettes for the Italian beachwear brand, surfaced just days ago, making this anniversary a point of note.

Further adding to the visual narrative, Klum has consistently shared images of herself in swimwear throughout the past year. Celebrations of her 52nd birthday on June 1, 2025, saw her posting steamy bikini photos. Earlier in 2025, in June, she was featured in a Calzedonia campaign in a powder blue swimsuit. A prior birthday, in May 2025, also brought bikini photos, with Klum, then 51, stating she felt 25.
Her engagement with beachwear extends beyond simple birthday tributes. In December 2024, Klum posted images of herself in a red string bikini while on a family vacation in the snow. More recently, in January 2026, she was photographed topless during a beach vacation in St. Barts, with reports indicating her continued comfort with public nudity regardless of age.
Background to the Trump Remarks
The 11-year anniversary in question refers to April 2015, when Donald Trump, then a candidate for president, was interviewed by The New York Times. During the interview, he reportedly made the comment about Klum's perceived attractiveness, stating, "Heidi Klum. Sadly, she's no longer a 10." This remark quickly became a subject of global discussion, drawing responses not only from Klum but also from various media outlets dissecting the intersection of public image, aging, and celebrity commentary. The context of Trump's statements often involves his personal ratings and assessments of public figures.
