Meet Kim Riekenberg (born September 9, 1994, in Melle), a German model. At 16, she got spotted by her manager while chowing down on pizza in Hamburg. Since then, she’s been killin’ it as a model, workin’ with brands like Joop!, Balmain, Peter Lindbergh, and Aigner, and gracing covers of Elle and Amica.

In 2020, she became the third German, after Babette March (1964) and Heidi Klum (1998), to pose for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. In 2021, she hit the dance floor on RTL’s Let’s Dance (season 14) with pro dancer Pasha Zvychaynyy, landing 13th place. Kim tied the knot with model Alessandro Hasni in 2023, and they split time between New York City and Hamburg. In July 2024, she strutted her stuff at Berlin Fashion Week for Marc Cain.
