NEW YORK – Just months after giving birth, models Candice Swanepoel and Behati Prinsloo showed off their fabulous post-baby bodies at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. 

The annual fashion show made its return to New York City on Thursday, marking the emotional end of the road for Adriana Lima as well as the return of two new moms. 

Swanepoel strutted down the runway only five months after the birth to her second son, Ariel, with fiancé Hermann Nicoli in June.

The 30-year-old South African supermodel looked like she didn’t miss a beat, rocking a black bra and thong encrusted in sequins, paired with a shimmering cage corset and spiky “wings.” For another look, she sported a colorful set of pink and yellow wings, pink and gold brocade high-waisted corset underwear and a VS T-shirt tucked in.

She wrote about her excitement to return to the Victoria’s Secret catwalk, posting on Instagram Tuesday: “Slightly excited…! So happy the @victoriassecret show is back in NYC!” 

Prinsloo walked the runway nine months after giving birth to her second child with husband and “The Voice” star Adam Levine.

The 30-year-old model is back after a three-year hiatus from the show to focus on her children with the Maroon 5 front man, 2-year-old Dusty Rose and 7-month-old Gio Grace. She gave birth in February 2018, last walking the show back in November 2015.

Prinsloo posted about her triumphant return on Wednesday, writing on Instagram: “Felt like i never left, i love my @victoriassecret family so much, my first show was 2007 it’s crazy to think about how time flies. I’m nervous and more grateful for all of it then ever. LETS DO THIS.”
