The supermodel was earlier reported to be hosting the event – news that was greeted with joy by her modelling colleagues. She has just had a baby, her third with husband Seal and fourth in total.

Klum was spectacular when she sauntered down the runway, according to a US report.

She smiled as she carefully stepped on to the runway. Earlier this week she commented on the prospect of hosting the show, saying: “You have less pressure. You definitely have less pressure when you don’t shake your booty in front of millions around the world.”

After giving birth to a girl named Lou, she said she had 10kg of baby weight to lose. “I embrace that I have more curves right now. I’m definitely one of the heaviest of the bunch of the 30 girls in the show.”
