Heidi Klum showed off her new curves on Tuesday when she stepped out in New York City in a head-turning dress.
The 52-year-old looked sensational in a plunging black dress, boasting draping detail, a sheer skirt, and dramatic white feathered sleeves.
Heidi added height to her statuesque frame with a pair of black stilettos featuring an ankle strap and accessorized with a Chanel shoulder bag with a gold chain strap and oversized sunglasses.
The supermodel's luscious blonde locks were styled into soft waves framed by her signature curtain bangs.
Heidi's appearance comes after she addressed her menopausal weight gain in her new docuseries, On & Off the Catwalk.
"Many say she's too fat or too thin or pregnant, but I am not pregnant. I'm just a little fatter now. It's the menopause," she said.

The rose-gold-hued gown featured a corseted bodice with exposed boning, sheer mesh paneling, and a balconette bust. The design flowed seamlessly into a floor-length skirt with a satin sheen finish and soft, draped ruching at her right hip, creating an elegant silhouette.

Hormonal changes make it more likely that women will gain weight around the abdomen, rather than the hips and thighs. However, hormonal changes alone don't necessarily cause weight gain. Instead, it's usually related to aging, as well as lifestyle and genetic factors.

Halle has become a leading advocate for menopausal women, and previously shared that she had "no clue" she was experiencing symptoms for 10 years.

She added: "I had a hard time sleeping, and I guess sleep deprivation is a form of torture. It felt like I was falling apart at the seams, and nobody seemed to be able to relate."

"A lot of people said that I had breast augmentation; I don't blame them!" she continued. "My boobs were smaller [before], so was the rest of my body...But they have just kept growing. Many, many sizes. And my back has been really suffering from it. And not a lot of people talk about this."
