Heidi Klum and her son Henry Samuel sported coordinating black-tie looks for the amFar Gala at Cannes Film Festival on Thursday, May 21
The mother-son duo has appeared at numerous events lately, and Klum told PEOPLE earlier this month that it is "fun" to experience things through the eyes of "someone who is really young and everything is still so exciting" when bringing her son as her plus one
Klum's husband Tom Kaulitz joined the mother-son duo for the gala
Heidi Klum and her son Henry Samuel wore coordinating mother-son looks on the red carpet at Cannes Film Festival on Thursday, May 21.
The model, 52, wore a plunging black-and-white lace corset dress that featured a dramatic ballgown-style black skirt. Henry, 20, who the model shares with ex-husband Seal, wore a black suit jacket emblazoned with intricate metallic leaf detailing, opting to go shirtless beneath the jacket, paired with the matching black trousers.
The duo was joined by Klum's husband Tom Kaulitz for the amFar Gala. Klum walked the carpet at the premiere of Fjord earlier in the festival on Monday, May 18, and wore a similar corset silhouette.
The gala is held in benefit of The Foundation for AIDS Research, which has raised nearly $950 million in support of its programs and has awarded more than 3,800 grants to research teams worldwide since 1985, according to its official website. This year's performers include Robbie Williams, Zara Larsson, and PinkPantheress.
Henry has been accompanying his supermodel mom to many red carpet events recently, and Klum recently told PEOPLE exclusively why he is her favorite plus-one.
"To be honest, because my husband has been traveling so much and I didn't want to go alone," she said. "So Henry has been like, 'I'll come with you, mom.' And I'm like, 'This is fabulous.' "

Klum added, "I mean, what better date can you have than your own son?"
The Project Runway host also explained that it's "fun" to experience things through the eyes of "someone who is really young and everything is still so exciting."

"Obviously, things are super exciting for me too, but it's different with a 20-year-old when they see things and do things for the first time, like a big red carpet," she reflected. "... So he's always super appreciative that I take him."

Klum added, "But to be honest, I'm more appreciative that he comes with me, that he's proud to be on my side. And we have a fun night together. We love people watching, we gossip a little bit. It's a real fun night with my son."
Klum is also mom to three other children: Leni, 21, Johan, 19, and Lou, 16. She married Kaulitz, 36, in 2019.
