She may be expecting her fourth child but Heidi Klum looked anything but mumsy as she hit the red carpet in Hollywood last night.
The positively radiant supermodel showed her flair for maternity chic in a flowing little black dress that skimmed her emerging baby bump.
Opting for style over comfort, she teamed her frock with a towering pair of gladiator inspired high heels.
The actress was hosting a LG Mobile launch in Hollywood which was attended by actresses Jennifer Love Hewitt and Anna Faris as well as High School Musical stars Ashley Tisdale and Vanessa Hudgens.
Heidi was spotted chatting to singer and fellow mother Christina Aguilera as she mingled among the celebrity crowd.
The Project Runway host – who is raising Leni, 5, Henry, 3, and Johan, 2, with husband Seal – recently revealled her family is hoping for a girl.
‘We’d be happy with either,’ she told America’s Us Weekly magazine. ‘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.

When your mother is model Yasmin Le Bon and your father is handsome pop star Simon Le Bon, it’s hardly surprising that you will grow up to be quite the beauty.
And this could be seen in Amber’s latest modelling shoot where her stunning long legs – clearly inherited from her mother – were on display.
The 19-year-old showed off nearly all of her slender pins when posing with a derriere-skimming Moschino satin dress.
Already standing tall at 5ft 10in – an inch taller than her famous mother – Amber gave herself added height in tottering gold high heels by Diego Dolcini.
After graduating from Heathfield St Mary’s School last year with A-levels in music, history of art and photography, the pretty brunette is now carving out a career as model.
Amber has signed to Models 1 – the same agency who has represented her mother for 18 years.
While she has added height to her mother, both women share the same hip and cup size
Her modelling portfolio says Amber has a 32-25-37 figure, while mum Yasmin has 34-26-37.
Despite having only recent signed with Models 1, Amber is making quite a name for herself in the fashion industry already.
She has appeared in advertisements for High Street chain River Island and is the face of luxury lingerie range Myla.
Amber first experienced the modelling industry at an early age after Yasmin brought the then-20-month-old toddler on to the catwalk at a Chanel show.
Amber is the eldest daughter born to Yasmin and her Duran Duran star husband of 23 years.
She has two sisters Saffron Sahara, 17, and Tullalah Pine, 14.
Amber is currently considering whether or not she’ll become a model full-time or go the university.
She said: ‘I don’t feel like I have to justify myself. I’m comfortable with who my parents are and what they’ve done.
‘I just want to do what I want to do. If it’s the same way as my parents, I really don’t mind any comparisons.
‘Thanks to Mum and Dad, I was involved in fashion since I was a child. So yeah, I think they have had an influence on me.’

She claims she’s spent her life searching for the ‘perfect little black bikini’ – and finally found it in this number from Hurley.
But anyone hoping that parting with their $120 will help them look like swimwear model Bar Refaeli is surely going to disappointed.
For although the black two-piece certainly flatters Miss Refaeli’s figure, it is her curves which make the shots so eye-catching.
The catwalk beauty, who is dating Hollywood superstar Leonardo DiCaprio, shows off the skimpy swimwear in a new ad campaign for US surfwear firm, Hurley.
Israeli-born Bar, 23, said: ‘Anyone who knows me knows that I am obsessed with finding the perfect little black bikini, [and] always searching for a timeless, sexy suit with the best fit.
‘I have never been able to find the perfect bikini, until now.’
With it’s hefty price tag at least the swimwear is raising money for a good cause – a portion of the $120 cost will be donated to Boarding for Breast Cancer, a youth-focused charity that aims to spread the halt of the disease thanks to early detection and an active lifestyle.
Earlier this month Bar was seen in a promotional video for US magazine Sports Illustrated’s annual swimwear edition.
She is seen writhing around on the beach in a series of steamy poses on the shoot which took place on Canouan Island, in The Grenadines.
The model was photographed by Raphael Mazzucco for SI’s highly anticipated bikini edition.
And in an accompanying video she is seen rolling in the surf – all in the name of her art of course.
It is Bar’s third year being photographed for the magazine’s famed swimsuit edition, and she said she was just ‘really, really, relaxed’.
Bar has also appeared in campaigns for Victoria’s Secret and Ralph Lauren.
And she was the first Israeli to make the cover of the iconic sports magazine, as well as appearing on the covers of Elle and GQ.
More recently she has been accompanying boyfriend DiCaprio, 34, around the world as he promoted his film Revolutionary Road, which also stars Kate Winslet.
The pair met in November 2005 at a party in Las Vegas. They recently denied rumours of an imminent engagement.
‘There is no truth to it,’ a source close to Leo revealed to OK! magazine.
The rumours were sparked after the couple were spotted leaving a store in Beverly Hills, and a ring was seen on Bar’s engagement finger.
The source explained: ‘Bar just had the ring on that finger. Nothing more.’
Meanwhile Bar has signed up for the revival of MTV show House Of Style.
Previously hosted by supermodel Cindy Crawford cover girl Bar is the new host for the show which features a mix of big fashion items and celebrity interviews.

The long-suffering wife of Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has criticised her ’shameless’ husband again in a very public attack.
Veronica Lario was furious that he attended the birthday party of an 18-year-old girl and creepily called himself her ‘little daddy teacher’.
A furious Veronica Lario also criticised the perma-tanned leader for his plan to make models and TV stars MEPs.
Berlusconi had been the surprise guest of honour at the 18th birthday party of Noemi Letizia, daughter of a Naples business friend.
She stormed: ‘That really surprised me because he has never come to the 18th birthday parties of any of our (three) children despite being invited.’
Today blonde Noemi was interviewed by several Italian newspapers and said: ‘It was a lovely surprise to see the man I call papi (daddy) at my party. I call him papi but of course he is second to my father. He gave me a lovely necklace as a present.’
Speaking in Warsaw today Berlusconi, defended his actions.
‘The lady (Veronica) has believed what the papers written, I’m sorry.’
A clearly rattled Berlusconi added: ‘My children love me with all their soul and I believe I am the most loved of parents.
Then speaking of the 18th birthday party he said: ‘I dropped by, I just wanted to raise a glass, I stayed because everyone wanted to be photographed with me and because I had to go to a meeting in Naples.
‘This is another really absurd exaggeration which has nothing to do with reality.’
However Corriere Della Sera, one of Italy’s leading newspapers, asked what the PM was doing ‘in a luxury villa at a teenager’s party, on the Naples ring road, late at night and which is best avoided’.
On the 18-year-old’s bedside table was prominently displayed a signed photograph of Berlusconi as well as a book in which he had written a dedication to her saying: ‘To my little Noemi, my little graphic artist, your little daddy teacher.’
Lario, 52, lashed out in an email sent an email to Italy’s national news agency ANSA.
She said the MEP ideas was ’shameless rubbish” and was done simply ‘in the name of power.’
Veronica saw red after Berlusconi revealed that for June’s European elections he wanted ‘youthful new faces’ as candidates and he named four leggy TV stars and models as candidates.
The four – who have no political experience – are soap actress Camilla Ferranti, 30, TV star Eleonora Gaggiolo, 29, ex-Big Brother contestant Angela Sozio, 31, and former Miss Italy candidate Barbera Matera, 28.
It is the second time that Veronica has made a public statement on the antic of her gaffe-prone politician husband.
Two years ago she demanded – and got a public apology – after he told one actress that he would wed her if he wasn’t already married and then told another he would run away with her.
In her email Veronica wrote: ‘Somone wrote that all this is to sustain the enjoyment of the Emperor. I agree with this what has emerged is shameful trash, all in the name of power.
‘I want it to be made clear that my children and I are victims of this situation and do not agree with it, we have to put up with it and suffer with it.
‘Fortunately for some time now we have had women in politics and business – in the past we had (Margaret) Thatcher and now we have (Angela) Merkel that is to say women can be involved in politics.
‘Women today are and can be beautiful and the fact that there are beautiful women in politics is not a merit or a demerit.’
Her attack on her husband came just hours after a think tank called Farefutoro within his own party also called for an end to ‘TV showgirls’ being put forward as candidates imply because of their good looks.
Veronica is a former actress who Berlusconi romanced after seeing her perform topless in a play and after they got married she gave up acting and is known for her opposing her husband’s political views.
It was rumoured for some time but always denied that she was having an affair with the left wing mayor of Venice Massimo Cacciari.
Berlusconi is well known for his gaffes which have seen him offend the Queen after he shouted out during a G20 photocall and a German MEP after he compared him to a concentration camp guard.

MIRROR, mirror on the wall, who doesn’t look at her reflection any more? Apparently, Elle Macpherson.
The supermodel and notorious control freak (especially when it comes to having her picture taken) is determined not to become obsessed with her looks.
“I don’t look in the mirror – I should probably pay more attention to my appearance,” she told Tatler magazine.
“I have a European attitude to beauty – I’m into nails, hair and skin texture rather than make-up and accessories.”
This from a woman who demands snappers to delete shots she doesn’t like?
