EVEN supermodels like Heidi Klum, contrary to their lofty titles, aren't immune to making mistakes — or even worse in the fashion world — choosing a bad outfit.
While taking risks often comes with the territory, it's arguable Heidi's most controversial styles have paid off.
You've heard of "tasteful" cleavage, but some argue that Heidi's look at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival veered more on the dangerous side.
Other daring — or not daring enough — looks landed her spots on multiple "worst dressed" lists.
CANNES NEAR WARDROBE MALFUNCTION
A supermodel's job is often to demand attention, and demand she did at last year's Cannes Film Festival red carpet with a bright canary-yellow dress.

Attendees couldn't tear their eyes away from the model even if they tried, and not just because of her fit's flashy color.
The Zuhair Murad gown put Heidi in the spotlight, showing off plenty of underboob and midsection with criss-cross cutouts at the chest and waist.
A high leg slit leading all the way up to her waist even showed off the leggy model's toned physique.
Two panels of yellow fabric attached to her shoulders mimicked the effect of wings, creating a cape that she threw around for dramatic effect (there's always room for more drama).
While Heidi experienced a near wardrobe malfunction with the dress' deep chest cutout, she kept things under control and just kept smiling for the cameras like a true professional.
LINGERIE AS OUTERWEAR
As of late, wearing lingerie as outerwear has emerged as a controversial fashion trend.
Heidi, however, appears to be a fan of the movement, as she wore a lingerie-inspired dress to the 2024 Grammys.
The blonde rocked a slinky little black number that might've passed for mysterious and elusive if it wasn't for the sheer upper top and diamond-encrusted black bra design.
While Heidi shined in the flashy get-up, the dress' diamonte bikini cutout may raise a few eyebrows.

CUT-OUT OR CUT-IT-OUT
Heidi has proven herself to be the Queen of Cutouts, especially after her iHeartRadio Awards appearance in 2023.
The model pulled up in a cobalt-blue Julien Macdonald bejeweled dress complete with chainmail and matching accessories from her earrings down to her toenails.
Once again, a fan of the high leg slit, Heidi's long legs were on full display.
So was her torso and plenty of cleavage, thanks to a blue side panel that connected to her opposite shoulder.
Luckily for the model, no wardrobe malfunctions were had that night, probably thanks to a liberal use of boob tape.
ALL THAT GLITTERS IS... SILVER
Heidi stood out on the 2023 Golden Globes red carpet in a silver sequined dress, complete with a white-purple boa.
The spring 2023 Kevin Germanier piece included a plunging sweetheart neckline, and cutouts backed with nude-colored fabric.
The supermodel paired the ensemble with a chunky silver necklace, which gave the dress the appearance of a mock neck.
She added a silver clutch, silver stilettos, and silver nails to complete the look.
LOWEST MARCS
A Marc Jacobs silk halter dress earned Heidi the lowest marks — and a spot on worst-dressed lists — after her appearance on the 2011 Golden Globes carpet.
She strutted down the aisle in a flowy red, brown, and nude piece that she paired with red-bottomed gold stilettos.
Critics took issue with an extensive list of grievances.
Disastified fashion fans were set off by a number of fashion choices, whether it was the large brown bow tied at her waist, the dozen chunky brown bangles on her wrists, or the mismatched and unflattering orange-red toenails and matching lip color.
ALL FLUFFED UP
Celebrities are just like you and me, and Heidi seemed dead set on proving that when she stepped out in a barely there mini dress that looked straight out of FashionNova.
The Project Runway host donned a laced-up lilac dress with side cutouts and a plunging neckline to DIRECTV Presents Maxim Electric Nights at City Market.
She layered a shaggy beige jacket over the strappy dress and carried around a burgundy clutch.
To finish off the look, she fluffed and curled her signature blonde shag into a partial updo that blended seamlessly against her jacket.
With all the textures and strings, viewers may not know where to look, especially since she was sporting bright red toenails and clear plastic pink heels.
