Heidi Klum’s street style has long balanced bold prints with equally memorable footwear. During two outings in Los Angeles in late November 2021, she built very different looks around the same approach: statement clothing, luxury accessories, and shoes that anchored each outfit in their own way.
One appearance paired layered leopard and jaguar prints with distinctive leopard-print pumps featuring sculpted red heels, while another took a softer approach with a bleached denim Lala Berlin set finished with white Dolce Gabbana “Portofino” sneakers.
Although both pairs have since been discontinued, they remain sought-after on the luxury resale market and illustrate two sides of Klum’s maximalist wardrobe.
Heidi Klum Masters Maximalist Dressing With Leopard Pumps, Plaid Tailoring, and a Camouflage Birkin

She worked a business-chic look, layering the outerwear over a flouncy jaguar-print blouse tucked into a pair of high-waisted plaid trousers.
Rather than toning the outfit down, Heidi leaned further into the print story with pointed leopard-print pumps distinguished by sculpted three-inch bright red heels.

The television personality amped up the clashing prints by carrying an Hermès Birkin bag with a camouflage print. She also accessorized with several rings and added an oversized pair of black-and-gold earrings.
Adding a pop of color to the look, the longtime AGT judge wore fake yellow nails. She styled her blonde tresses straight, flowing over her shoulders, and kept her makeup simple with her eyes hidden behind a pair of Thom Browne side shield sunglasses.

Heidi Klum Elevates Double Denim With Dolce Gabbana Portofino Sneakers and a Vintage Louis Vuitton Bag
Two days earlier, Heidi and Tom Kaulitz embraced contrasting palettes while shopping for furniture in Los Angeles, with Heidi in a pale-blue Lala Berlin co-ord and Tom in shades of pink.

Her matching light-wash denim shirt and wide-leg cargo pants reimagined classic double denim with the label’s signature bleached Kufiya-inspired pattern, giving the casual look a distinctly fashion-forward edge.

Keeping the look coordinated, Heidi slung a light blue Louis Vuitton Vernis Tompkins bag over her arm.

A white T-shirt, matching face mask, and Dolce Gabbana “Portofino” sneakers kept the palette clean despite the patterned denim.
Made in Italy from smooth white calfskin leather, this late-2021 Portofino version featured metallic gold eyelets and branding, plus the collection’s signature faux-pearl detail at the heel. While Dolce Gabbana continues to release new Portofino colorways, this exact edition is now primarily found on the luxury resale market.

The branded faux-pearl embellishment at the heel gave this Portofino edition a more polished, jewelry-inspired finish than the line’s classic minimalist styles. While Heidi’s exact late-2021 version has since been archived, the Portofino remains one of Dolce Gabbana’s signature sneaker collections.
As of August 2026, Farfetch continues to carry a wide range of Portofino sneakers, from understated leather and logo styles to embroidered, rhinestone, and limited-edition designs. Meanwhile, collector marketplaces such as StockX still list numerous discontinued Portofino colorways and special editions, though Heidi’s distinctive faux-pearl heel version is considerably harder to find.
