Heidi Klum Goes Bold in Black

Va va voom! Heidi Klum shows off her second-skin gown, custom-made by Marchesa, at Sunday evening’s Emmy awards, held at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles, Calif.

Due with her daughter in mid-October, the Project Runway host chatted about the idea behind the dress.

“It wasn’t really hard for me, but it was hard for the woman that designed a dress for me,” she laughed. “She started about two or three months ago and that’s kind of difficult…It’s black because I figure, at eight-and-a-half months, black is better! I think it’s elegant and slimming.”

She looks really good and dress is pretty, but I prefer Kourntney’s flowing dress. Just my opinion.

She looks fabulous!

- Jess on September 21st, 2009

She is gorgeous!

- autumn on September 21st, 2009

She looks stunning!

- Liliana on September 21st, 2009

She looks BEAUTIFUL!!!

- Crystal on September 21st, 2009

Good Lord, where on earth has she been hiding that belly? It’s like the moment she got that dress on, the baby felt the need to be known and shown….lol.

Anyway, she looks wonderful. She and Seal both do.

- FC on September 21st, 2009

WOW – if anyone could pull off that dress it is Heidi Klum. She looks great in anything.

- Something About Baby on September 21st, 2009

She looks just gorgeous!!

- Jenn on September 21st, 2009

Seal and Heidi are THE CUTEST!! IMO….I love them. They always seem so pleasant and down to earth and most importantly are very family oriented often having Erna (her Mom) and Guenther(her Dad) with them.

I love that;)

- Ronda on September 21st, 2009

OMG – she looks stunning (as usual)! She is nothing BUT baby!!! I can hardly wait to see the new baby girl!

- daniela on September 21st, 2009

She looks so gorgeous!!

- Daisy on September 21st, 2009

Wow, she looks amazing!I LOVE that dress.

- Rebecca on September 21st, 2009

That dress is amazing! Heidi is all belly and I’m a little sad this will be her fourth. I love seeing her pregnant. She just GLOWS!

- Stephany on September 21st, 2009

Whoops. I meant to say, “I’m kind of sad this will be her last baby.” Not her fourth…I’m VERY happy this is her fourth!

- Stephany on September 21st, 2009

I think she looks gorgeous! I love Heidi & Seal and can’t wait until she has the baby. Look how adorable this pic is from the Emmy’s last night…..http://www.popsugar.com/5144435?page=0,0,6.

There is no doubt about it, Heidi Klum is stunning! But there is something about the silhouette of that gown that I just don’t care for. It’s almost too form fitting. I absolutely LOVE women’s bodies when they are pregnant, but her dress doesn’t do it for me. Flaunt it if you’ve got it, but that dress looks painted on and you see the belly and not her. Makes me wonder what the judges would have thought had one of the designers sent that dress down the runway. . .kwim?

- Gingi on September 21st, 2009

she looks out of this world! so beautiful!

- Matilda on September 21st, 2009

I have to agree with Gingi. Heidi is stunning, beautiful, glowing, but somehow this is not my favorite look on her. I too, think women look great pregnant and there’s nothing wrong with accentuating her bump. I guess it’s just this dress, in my opinion, is all about the bump, and only the bump. The rest of Heidi kinda gets lost in this look. Perhaps that’s what she was going for? Generally I love her pregnancy wardrobe, this just isn’t my fave. ☺

- gargoylegurl on September 21st, 2009

Is Heidi ever pregNANT! Wow. I would wonder if it was twins, but then the baby is probably very big. Her two older brothers were upwards of 9 lbs. at birth, if I recall correctly. I don’t know about Leni, though.

- SAR on September 21st, 2009

Wow, I wish I looked like that the month before giving birth She looks great, I love the dress personally

- Amanda on September 21st, 2009

Heidi’s a beautiful lady but I detest this dress. The picture reminds me of a fish for some reason.

- Angel on September 21st, 2009

She looks radiant. It’s funny, though, just yesterday my grandmother and mom were commenting wistfully on the days when pregnant women wore loose fitting maternity clothing. I suspect my gram would flip if she saw me in something this tight when I get pregnant

- Xan on September 21st, 2009

Does she ever look less than gorgeous? Love the fabulous form-fitting dress (her escort is pretty hot too!). Can’t wait to see their beautiful new baby.

- marlee on September 21st, 2009

gosh just like the other ladies said shes stunning, goodnes

- Sara on September 21st, 2009

She must have some incredible stomach muscles to be carrying so ‘high’! By my second baby, it all was much lower from the weight of the baby!

- Essi on September 21st, 2009

I think she looks gorgeous! I know at the end of my second pregnancy I was huge, so the normal maternity wear made me look even bigger. I went for as much form fitting as possible. It made me feel good and not look quite so big.

- Lyndsey on September 21st, 2009

The dress is okay pretty boring to me.

- Electra on September 21st, 2009

i love the dress! she’s always so gorgeous.

- MZ on September 22nd, 2009

she defintly is all belly and looks great pregnant, but that dress looks so tight and like she can barely breath in it

- gianna on September 22nd, 2009

I’m not usually a fan of teh form-fitting maternity clothes, but I gotta say, she looks beautiful. I think that dress is absolutely stunning on her! Perfectly fitted, great shape, and she is just radiant. (I like the look of her date, too!)

- Shannon on September 22nd, 2009

Love it!

- Lisa on September 22nd, 2009

She truly is beautiful but that dress makes her looks like a gothic mermaid. I like gothic, I even like mermaids, but together and on Heidi Klum..? Not so much. I did see a pic taken from another angle and that looked better.

- Hea on September 22nd, 2009

When my husband saw her in the dress he thought she looked amazing – if anyone is looking for a male perspective I personally loved the look as well although I wonder if it would have been comfortable to wear something so tight at 8 1/2 months?

- lawgirl on September 22nd, 2009

Heidi is as beautiful as always. I love the Heidi/Seal family.

- Cheri on September 23rd, 2009

I would give my left arm to look like that at 8.5 months pg!

- Kim on September 23rd, 2009

I can’t get enough of this family. I absolutely adore Heidi and Seal on their own, but now as a couple/family…they’re awesome. I can’t wait to see their new addition. I just know she’ll be stunning.

- Daphne on September 23rd, 2009

Love Heidi n Seal but the dress NOT

- Simone on September 23rd, 2009

The dress is hideous, she doesn’t look good at all. I don’t know that any dress would have looked good with the way she’s carrying, which is sort of angled funny.

Everyone is plying her with compliments because the only weight she’s gained is in her stomach. That seem to be her genetic gift.

- Lily on September 24th, 2009

WOW!
Heidi looks gorgeous! I love the dress. The mermaid style works brilliantly with her belly, even though I think it would have been difficult even for her to pull off if she hadn’t been pregnant, but right now she rocks it. I quite like that it looks like it has been painted on to her.
