The 17-year-old daughter of Heidi Klum is the newest face of Chopard’s Happy Diamonds campaign

It's an exciting year for Leni Klum, who launched her modelling career late last year by appearing on the cover of Vogue Germany with her mother. Since then, she has secured her first solo magazine cover on Glamour Germany, made her fashion week debut in Berlin and recently walked her first red carpet in shimmering Versace alongside her mother at a UNICEF benefit in Capri, Italy.

Adding to that, the iconic supermodel's daughter also stars in Chopard's Happy Diamonds campaign, joining another industry legend: Julia Roberts

Embodying the joyful and happy spirit of Chopard's jewellery creations, the modelling scion posted an Instagram dancing to Paloma Faith's upbeat song, 'Upside Down'—encouraging her 860,000 followers to share their own happy dances.

One of her biggest supporters is her mother, Heidi Klum, who has expressed much delight on social media and television appearances about how the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. In a particularly heartfelt message to her daughter at the start of her modelling career, she wrote:

"I'm so proud of you. And not because you chose this path. I know that no matter which way you go, it will be your own. You always know exactly what you want and what you don't want. You are not a mini-me. And I'm happy for you that you can now show who you ​​are.

I know that being my daughter is not always easy. You never had the opportunity to grow up "normally". But what is normal anyway? You are a confident young woman who fights for her goals. I hope that no matter where you are, you always carry what I have given you over the years. For the big decisions in life, but also for the very little ones.

And even if you often don't want to hear your mom's smart advice, here's another one: never do something you don't want to do and always listen to your gut instinct. I will always do everything so that you are happy and that your dreams come true. I am proud to be your mom!"
