Leni celebrated her 19th birthday on May 4th, and for the occasion, she planned a day off with her mother, Heidi. Their day began with a shopping spree on Manhattan’s west side.
While Heidi, the 49-year-old supermodel, dressed up elegantly, Leni chose a more casual ensemble—a black sweatshirt paired with a leather jacket. Both opted for sunglasses, subtly concealing their faces as they navigated the city.
In the spirit of celebration, Heidi made an exception, allowing Leni to partake in a drink resembling champagne. The moment was captured on a vibrant New York City street, and Heidi shared the experience on social media, reflecting on the fleeting nature of time.
Upon returning home, Leni was pleasantly surprised to find a birthday cake bearing her initials awaiting her. Changing into a festive white jumpsuit and clutching pink balloons, she posed at the decorated holiday table.
Leni, the daughter of Heidi and Flavio Briatore, remains appreciative of opportunities to collaborate with her accomplished mother, even in the face of occasional criticisms regarding their joint fashion photoshoots.
Heidi, also a mother to three children with artist Seal, recently took on the role of the face of Intimissimi. The resulting photoshoot sparked diverse reactions, with some expressing discomfort, while others dismissed it as nepotism.
Leni, however, continues to maintain her silence in response to critiques, focusing on the gratitude she feels for the chance to work alongside her talented mother in the fashion industry.
