Happy birthday, Heidi Klum! The supermodel turns 50 today, and in honor of the milestone, we’re taking a quick peek at some of the best moments throughout her illustrious career.

The German model shares four teenage kids, Leni, Henry, Johan and Lou, with her ex-husband, British singer Seal. She and her hubby, musician Tom Kaulitz, got married in 2019 and have been inseparable since.

The TV host, who has won awards for her time on Project Runway, is a staple on America’s Got Talent, as well as her most recent project, Making the Cut. Klum is best known for her 13 years as a Victoria’s Secret Angel. She was the first German model to walk the runway for the brand. Additionally, she was photographed for SI Swimsuit nine separate years and landed the cover after her debut photo shoot in 1998.

Here’s a look back at some of Klum’s most iconic media moments.
