Heidi wore a lacy nude bra and matching panties while Leni donned the fuschia version in the snaps.

Some fans shared their disapproval over the shots on Instagram, claiming the photos had been edited to make Leni look younger and slamming Heidi for letting her daughter appear in the campaign.

One wrote: “The photo looks very photoshopped to be honest and the model looks underage …. it’s not great.”

Another added: “She is a beautiful model but why make her look younger? It looks inappropriate”

A third posted: “Why is Heidi letting her daughter wear that? Does no one else think this is very weird?”

“I see that she’s 19 but def looks younger than that, and a teenager with her mom in lingerie like this is extremely weird anyways,” yet another user agreed.

“Extremely bizarre and uncomfortable,” someone else commented.

Heidi shares Leni with Italian businessman Flavio Briatore.

Her ex-husband Seal later adopted her in December 2009 when she was five. 

Heidi reunited with Leni in Germany earlier this month when she flew home after wrapping the latest season of America’s Got Talent.

The teen flashed her underwear in a see-through dress while promoting Intimissimi’s new line with Heidi.

She also visited her mom on the set of the new season of Germany’s Next Topmodel.

“The queen has arrived to my mom’s set,” Leni joked in a video on Heidi’s Instagram Stories, adding: “I’m here for support.”

She wrapped her arms around her mom and gave her a kiss on the head as Heidi replied: “Nice child.”

Leni said she couldn’t wait to see all of the contestants on her mom’s show.

Heidi hosts the competition, while also serving as the show’s lead judge and executive producer.

Leni revealed she had only met the male contestants and none of the female ones.

Heidi gave her daughter a stern look and asked pointedly: “How is that?”

Leni looked sheepish and replied giggling: “I don’t know, it just happened that way.”

Critics said Leni was 'too young' to star in the campaign
