Heidi Klum will celebrate her 51st birthday on June 1. Klum began her modeling career after winning a contest in 1992 and was the first German model to become a Victoria’s Secret Angel. She hosted the reality show “Project Runway” from 2004 to 2017, for which she won an Emmy Award in 2013, and has been a judge on “America’s Got Talent” since 2013. She also hosts “Making the Cut” for Amazon Prime. Here, WWD takes a look back at her style evolution.
