Found It! Heidi Klum’s Striped Maxi Dress

May 22, 2013 @ 7:30 am

Supermodel mom Heidi Klum went for a seaside stroll sporting BCBG Max Azria’s silky Gia style. The contrasting stripes and the breezy high-low hem give this look a flirty appeal. Heidi went barefoot while on the beach, but for a more dressed-up take, the dress would also look great with strappy heels. Shop the style for $548 at bcbg.com.
