Her dirty-blond hair is tousled and wavy, her fingernails long, pointy, and red.
The caption is one word in all caps: “MERCI”, with tags for the photographer and hair and makeup artist whom she worked with.

Sheppard, who is married to actor Kristen Bell, posted a picture of his wife earlier this year wearing nothing but her birthday suit.
And a pair of socks.
The Instagram photo showed Bell performing yoga, apparently in the yard of the couple's home, wearing only blue knee-high socks.
He covered parts of Bell’s body that were unclothed with a black bar and congratulated Bell for her Emmy nomination.

“People might not know everything that happens behind the scenes in order to create an Emmy nominated performance like Kristen’s,” Shepard wrote.
“This may or may not have been a part of her training, but it felt right. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!” he added.
“For me, it was never weird”: Klum talks about not wearing clothes on Shepard’s podcast

Shepard and Klum’s relationship goes back at least a year, when she was a guest on his popular podcast Armchair Expert.
During the February 5th 2024 episode, Klum talked about a range of topics, including why she feels so comfortable without clothes on.
“Well, I grew up n*de around my house with my parents being n*de and us going on vacations where it's FKK, which is Freie Körperkultur, which means the freedom of your body,” she told Shepard on the podcast.

She explained that her entire family embraced the idea of body freedom, with her family even vacationing at n*dist beaches and campsites.
“And so I would always see people n*de on the beach, n*de swimming. So I grew up on that. For me, that was never weird,” she said.
Klum said on the show that while she does follow the rules at beaches in the U.S. and keeps her bikini on, she feels very comfortable without one as well.

Elaborating on not feeling self-conscious, Shepard said: “But mentally, you can't make yourself all of a sudden self-conscious. You already grew up that way.”
Another person who perhaps grew up embracing her body is Sofía Vergara, who also “liked” Klum’s photo and who is also a practitioner of barely-covered sunbathing.
Months ago, Vergara posted a photo wearing a g-string bikini bottom, and nothing else, while sunbathing, to announce the start of summer.
Klum famously liked the photo, saying, “Come over! I’m doing the same thing, sunbathing.”

While Tim Gunn, who also left the show when she did, did not return, one of her former students did.
Designer and season four winner Christian Siriano will be Klum’s co-star for the 21st season of Project, which premiered in late July.
