Blooming beautiful: Heidi Klum's enormous bump takes centre stage at the Emmys

She’s just weeks away from giving birth to her fourth child in five years, and it was Heidi Klum’s bump that took centre stage at the Emmys last night as the supermodel hit the red carpet in a stunning black dress.

The 36-year-old, who wore her hair tied back in an elegant bun, was glowing as she posed for photographers outside the Nokia Theatre alongside singer husband Seal.

She later told reporters that there was a major benefit to being pregnant at the event, she didn’t have to worry about sucking her tummy in.
‘The great thing about being pregnant and going to these things is that I don’t have to suck my stomach in,’ she said. ‘It’s fabulous! I can let it all out.’

Klum was wearing a Marchesa gown designed by Georgina Chapman, but said she hadn’t put much thought into her attire।
‘It wasn’t really hard for me, but it was hard for the woman that designed a dress for me,” she told People.com.

‘She started about two or three months ago and that’s kind of difficult…It’s black because I figure, at eight-and-a-half months, black is better! I think it’s elegant and it’s slimming.’

Last night she had firefighters worried that she might give birth on the red carpet.

'Hey, did you see Heidi Klum? She's like 8 months pregnant. So you be ready, you might have to deliver,' fire Inspector Jim Fisher was overheard telling colleague Craig Hancock as they and other authorities brought the VIPs into the Nokia Theatre.I think it’s elegant and it’s slimming.’
The German born model - who has three children, Leni, 5, from her relationship with Flavio Briatore, Henry, 3, and Johan, 2, - insists her fourth baby will be her last.

She says: 'We're outnumbered... four is perfect - three is a lot, but four? It's a lot of work.'

The couple are yet to settle on a name for the baby.

'Because we know it's going to be our last baby, it's way harder. We've never had this back and forth before,' said the star, adding they hope 'the light bulb will come on' when they see their new daughter.
