\"So that you show some reality,\" one person commented on Leni's post. Another wrote, \"Welcome to the world! This is normal skin.\"

In December, a more glammed version of Leni was photographed alongside her mother for Vogue Germany.

Following in her mother's footsteps, she shared with the publication that it was only a matter of time before she would try to become a model.

\"The first offer came when I was only 12 or 13, from a brand I liked to wear: Brandy Melville,\" she said. \"At that time I begged my mother, but no chance. Now I understand that it would have been too early.\"
