Heidi Klum wows crowd at Victoria's Secret show
Heidi Klum and her post-baby body led the parade at the annual Victoria's Secret fashion show, which returned to New York with some fresh faces after four years on the road.
The lingerie retailer inducted five more women into its "Angel" ranks — a designation reserved for top models — in front of a packed house Thursday night at the Lexington Avenue Armory. They are Emanuela de Paula, Chanel Iman, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Lindsay Ellingson and Candice Swanepoel.
But Klum, who gave birth to a daughter five weeks ago, was the audience favorite in her purple corset covered with a half gown with poufs of tulle. She emerged from the huge, castlelike set to applause.
Musical guest The Black Eyed Peas — especially Fergie, its only female member, who wore a black, jeweled bodysuit — was another crowd-pleaser. Fergie came out later in a green corset gown.
Of course, fashion really is secondary here. Victoria's Secret always puts on an elaborate production (this time with a choir, acrobatic dancers and a giant polka-dot dog balloon) and fuels hype about its models. An online model search started earlier this month and is now down to two contestants, one of whom will be chosen by the public to appear in the televised version of the fashion show that CBS will air Dec. 1.
"I could watch this online, but it's a fun scene," said Russell Simmons from his front row seat. "This show is always fun and a great production."
"It's always a spectacular," agreed costume designer Patricia Field. "Victoria's Secret does that extra thing I like."
Klum, who normally wears the most elaborate outfits, only appeared once, so it was former Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover girl Marissa Miller who had the honor of wearing a $3 million, diamond-encrusted bra.
Splashy jewels, it seemed, were one of the themes of the show with many models dripping in diamonds, crystals and other bling. Others wore faux fur stoles over their bras and panties. Thigh-high boots were the other must-have accessory.
Outfits fell into one of four themes: Star Trooper with breast plates and body armor; Pink Planet, which had a hippie vibe; the ethereal Enchanted Forest; and Romantic Journey that featured a lot of lace.
Compared to previous years, the overall collection didn't seem as skimpy, although Miranda Kerr wore an itsy-bitsy black thong get-up that might have to be edited out of the TV show.

Heidi Klum's Buddha baby bump
Heidi Klum feels likes a "Buddha".The pregnant supermodel - who raises three children with musician husband Seal - loves the way her body has changed, and has likened her baby bump to the rotund religious figure.
She said: "You get used to all the changes of your body. It's not like I'm going, 'Oh my God!' I'm used to that part of it. You feel like a Buddha!"
Heidi added her children - daughter Leni, five, and sons Henry, three, and two-year-old Johan - are fascinated with her expanding tummy.
Leni in particular loves seeing how much it has grown, and has been known to check its progress in the most unfortunate of ways.
Heidi laughed: "They get it. They always rub my tummy.
"If I had a dress on, Leni would literally go all the way down under my dress to rub my tummy. And I go, 'My underwear is showing, thank you very much!' "
Heidi - who posed for lingerie giants Victoria's Secret two months after Henry's birth - added she has no concerns about regaining her pre-pregnancy figure, insisting her body will have no problem springing back into shape.
She added to Us Weekly magazine: "I know my body will go back again!"

Heidi Klum hopes for daughter
Pregnant Heidi Klum wants to have a girl.The German model - who raises daughter Leni, five, and sons Henry, three, and two-year-old Johan with her musician husband Seal - would love another daughter to add to her brood.
She told Us Weekly magazine: "We would be happy with either. But it would be a lie if I said we all weren't hoping for a little girl - especially Leni, because she would love to have a little sister.
"She'll say, 'I hope it's a girl so she can be in my room, and I'm going to help you and I'm going to change the diapers and I'm going to be a really good sister!' "
Seal announced Heidi's pregnancy while he was performing in New York earlier this month, following days of speculation.
He told the audience: "The topic of debate outside our hotel is, 'Is Heidi having another baby?' Heidi and I are having another baby! I mean, Heidi is doing all the work!"
Rumours the 35-year-old model - who is believed to be around four months pregnant - was expecting first surfaced after details of the gowns she will wear on US reality TV series 'Project Runway' were leaked online.
The frocks were re-designed to accommodate her growing tummy.

Heidi Klum to announce pregnancy
Model and actress Heidi Klum arrives at the 81st Academy Awards in Hollywood, California February 22, 2009. Heidi Klum is three months pregnant.
The German supermodel is reportedly expecting her third child with her musician husband Seal and is delighted with the news. The pair also have a three-year-old son Henry and a two-year-old son Johan, and raise Heidi's daughter Leni, four, together.
Gossip website E! reports: "A source tells me that Klum, 35, is a little less than four months pregnant."
It has been claimed Heidi is planning to announce her happy news soon.
Rumours about Heidi's pregnancy began circulating when details of couture gowns she will wear on US TV series 'Project Runway' were posted online.
The outfits have reportedly had to be re-designed in order to accommodate her growing tummy.
Heidi is not the only famous face to be surrounded by pregnancy rumours.
Angelina Jolie is said to be two months pregnant with her fourth biological child with partner Brad Pitt.
The actress - who already has daughter Shiloh, two, nine-month-old twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline and adopted kids Maddox, seven, Pax, five and three-year-old Zahara - was amazed when she found out the happy news.

Major Emmy categories to grow to 6 nominees
The hosts of the 60th annual Primetime Emmy Awards (L-R) Heidi Klum, Tom Bergeron, Howie Mandel, Ryan Seacrest and Jeff Probst pose as they arrive for the Emmys in Los Angeles Sept. 21, 2008. All five hosts are also nominated as outstanding host for a reality or reality-competition programme. The move was said to inject some new blood into the rerun-prone annual proceedings.
"The increase in the number of nominees in these categories is a strong statement about inclusivity," says TV Academy chairman John Shaffner.
"It exemplifies the Television Academy's awareness of the amount of great television and fine individual work that is seen across the enormous spectrum of the television universe," Shaffner added.
Nominations for the 61st primetime Emmys will be announced in July and handed in Los Angeles on Sept. 20.

Stylish wife Heidi Klum
The German supermodel revealed tying the knot with British singer Seal inspired her to make more of an effort with her fashion choices.
She said: "I've gotten more stylish since I've been with my husband. I was always making fun of him because he has so many leather coats, jackets and shoes. But he looks hot.
I want to look good for him. So I kind of stepped it up a bit." Heidi, who wed Seal in 2005, insists the spark is still alive in her marriage and sometimes can't believe she has such a handsome husband.
The 35-year-old beauty explained: "Sometimes I lie in bed and I'm like, 'Oh my god, there's Seal lying next to me. What's he doing there?' "I get a smile on my face immediately. Our honeymoon period is definitely not over."
The couple - who raise three children together - make sure they spend time together without their kids to keep their relationship exciting.
She added to America's InStyle magazine: "We have date nights. We go to dinner or to the movies. We like to keep it romantic. Some people wake up in the morning and turn over when they see their mate. That's not us."
