Does Heidi Klum Look Fat on Her Nude GQ Cover?

Celebs Bare All for Magazines

    Heidi Klum's in nothing but her birthday suit for the March issue of German GQ. Fortunately her hubby Seal isn't the jealous type -- according to Heidi he's seen the photos and "loves them."

    GQ

    Kate Hudson recently revealed that she loves posing for provocative photo shoots -- but the sultry starlet certainly isn't the only celeb who's willing to bare all for a magazine cover.

    InStyle

    Jennifer Aniston for GQ
    Was her ultra-revealing cover stunning or sad? Find out!

    GQ

    Eva Mendes for Jane
    The actress isn't bashful about showing a little skin (just look at these steamy Calvin Klein ads!).

    Britney Spears for Bazaar

    Britney Spears for Rolling Stone
    But of course, Brit was happy to bare all before she was ready to bare children.

    Christina Aguilera
    They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

    Marie Claire

    Demi Moore for Vanity Fair
    And before Britney and Christina were competing with pregnant poses in their birthday suits, Demi Moore graced the cover of Vanity Fair in nothing but her wedding ring (and some nice earrings!).

    Vanity Fair

    Lindsay Lohan for Entertainment magazine
    Back when it was plausible that she might turn out sane.

    Mariah Carey for Interview
    Still looking great at 38!

    Interview



Emotions often run high in the world of fashion when designers seem to deliberately push the boundaries of what is an already undernourished idealized standard for runway models. When you call a supermodel like Heidi Klum "too heavy" -- as Wolfgang Joop did recently -- you've really stepped over the line. In an interview attacking the 36 year old model, Joop told Bild that "she is no runway model! Heidi Klum is simply too heavy and has too big a bust." Slam.

Adding insult to injury, Wolfgang went on to enumerate the reasons that he thinks she isn't fit to grace the catwalk by critiquing her facial features and the very bubbling personality that makes her a standout: "she always grins so stupidly. That is not avant-garde – that is commercial!"

Maybe Joop needs to take a look at the last few decades of supermodel history, because Heidi Klum most certainly is a runway model ... and has been since the early 90s. But he's not the only one trash talking Heidi, Louisa von Minckwitz, a top modeling exec has voiced her own criticisms:
"At 1.76 meters she is five centimeters too short. But, despite everything, she is a dream woman, an advertising icon and a superstar."
Regardless of what any of her detractors are saying, Klum is set to bare all in the March edition of GQ. We're not all that excited about the cover, but it has nothing to do with Heidi's measurements -- we're just not fans of the art direction.

Don't know, we think she looks pretty skinny. What do you think?

She is gorgeous and seems genuinely nice to boot! These people are just critics and haters. Who wouldn't be jealous of a woman with good looks, money and fame, and a wonderful husband and adorable kids?
