She's still in.

Heidi Klum has done it again, strutting her stuff on the Victoria’s Secret fashion show runway for a second time just weeks after giving birth.

The “Project Runway” host surprised and thrilled the crowd  at the Lexington Avenue Armory in Manhattan by donning a purple corset covered by a half gown with poufs of tulle, The Associated Press reported. Her fashion turn came the same night "Runway" announced the winner of its sixth season, Irena Shabayeva.

Six weeks ago Klum welcomed daughter Luo with musician husband Seal.

She said earlier this week that she was relieved to be hosting -- not modeling -- the top lingerie fashion event. With 20 pounds to lose, Klum said she felt like “one of the heaviest of the bunch,” People reported.

"You definitely have less pressure when you don’t shake your booty in front of millions around the world," Klum lamented.

That she decided to rock her new bod anyway wasn’t without precedent.

In 2005, Klum also walked for Victoria’s Secret, sporting a sizzling bikini only two months after popping out son Henry.

At this year’s show, Victoria’s Secret welcomed five more “Angels” to its top model ranks: Emanuela de Paula, Chanel Iman, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Lindsay Ellingson and Candice Swanepoel, according to the AP.

Black Eyed Peas musician Fergie also reportedly wowed the crowds in her black, jeweled bodysuit, and later, a green corset gown.

The show airs Dec. 1 on CBS.
