For Heidi Klum, modeling lingerie is like “riding a bike.” So it makes sense that the 41-year-old supermodel is the face of her eponymous intimates collection. And she wants it to stay that way. Klum shared her disappointment when a group of models was snapped posing outside Buckingham Palace in underwear from her line — and the impromptu shoot happened without her permission.

“Nearly fell of my chair when i saw this. Who did this??? Not me!!! #NotCool,” Klum captioned the photo of the scantily-clad ladies on Instagram. (We can only imagine how The Queen felt.)
Klum is currently in London, launching her collection at the department store Selfridges, following a big promo tour in the U.S.
Last year, Klum told PEOPLE that she loves everything about her line, from designing the pieces to modeling them.
“There’s one person with a wind machine, and the next person with the powder, and the next holding a light, and there’s art directors and clients,” she said of being on set. “I’m used to that. It doesn’t really bother me,” she said, adding, “After doing this for 20 years you kind of build a thick skin. You just know you’re always being judged and that’s just the way it is. I just go with it!”
As for her own lingerie-waring MO, she loves a matching bra and panty set (just as much as those models apparently.
“Most of the time if I get a beautiful bra I get a few more panties to go with it because I don’t really wash a bra every time I wear it,” she said. “Obviously the underwear you do, and then you don’t have that matching set anymore. It’s nice when you take your clothes off to have that matching set on.”
Do you think Klum has a right to be angry?
