Heidi Klum and her son Henry Samuel for "The Drama"
Heidi Klum embarked on an undercover project at Coachella 2026.
Indeed, the Project Runway host looked unrecognizable during the first weekend of the annual music festival, undergoing two dramatic transformations.
In a clip shared to her Instagram April 11, the 52-year-old danced in a parking lot donning a white cutout bodysuit, which she paired with matching distressed cargo pants. To accessorize the monochromatic look—and to help keep her true identity on the DL—the supermodel sported white sneakers, a matching beanie, and oversized sunglasses.
But it was the waist-length bleach blonde wig that truly brought her disguise to another level. As Heidi—no stranger to intense makeovers—simply captioned the post, giving her outfit’s designer a shoutout, “Coachella 2026 @maisonblanche.swiss.”
But the only thing better than one incognito look is two. After all, the America’s Got Talent alum did a 180 with her Coachella Day 2 look, opting for another ensemble from Maison Blanche that featured an oversized top which exposed her cheeky bottoms. To top off her desert look, Heidi wore black and white cowboy boots.
In the April 12 Instagram video, the Making the Cut judge—who wed husband Tom Kaulitz in 2019—wore a jet-black wig paired with black lipstick and reflective sunnies as she strutted her stuff through the festival grounds.

“Coachella day 2,” she captioned the post, “@tomkaulitz @maisonblanche.swiss.”
Recapping her weekend with friends as well as kids Henry, 20, Johan, 19, and Lou,16—who she shares with ex-husband Seal—Heidi chronicled her favorite memories from Coachella weekend one, which was headlined by Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, and Karol G.
“We have arrived, let’s dance,” she said in the April 13 clip as she enjoyed the performances. “So many amazing acts—Disclosure, Sabrina Carpenter, KATSEYE, oh my.”

Noting that she took off her day-one blonde wig “the minute we got into the car,” Heidi—also mom to 21-year-old daughter Leni—was ready to do it all over again the next day as she filmed herself trying on different options before settling on her day-two wig.
After praising more artists’ performances, Heidi explained that she “made it home safe” aside from a broken hand mirror that didn’t make the trip in one piece. But she wasn’t ready to allow any bad luck into her life.
“Just pretend it’s cracked and not broken,” she said, “Until next year.”
