Victoria's Secret models (bottom L-R) Heidi Klum and Alessandra Ambrosia pose with other models in New York's Times Square to celebrate the return of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show to New York, November 18, 2009.

Heidi Klum and her post-baby body led the parade at the annual Victoria's Secret fashion show, which returned to New York with some fresh faces after four years on the road.

The lingerie retailer inducted five more women into its "Angel" ranks — a designation reserved for top models — in front of a packed house Thursday night at the Lexington Avenue Armory. But Klum, who gave birth to a daughter five weeks ago, was the audience favorite in her purple corset covered with a half gown with poufs of tulle.

Musical guest The Black Eyed Peas — especially Fergie, its only female member, who wore a black, jeweled bodysuit — was another crowd-pleaser.

CBS will broadcast the show on Dec. 1.
