Gisele Bundchen made a successful return to the runway in her native Brazil on Sunday, stepping on the catwalk for the first time since becoming a mother six months ago.

The new mom proved off her svelte figure in fashion designs by Colcci as she strutted down the catwalk during Sao Paulo Fashion Week.

But Bundchen confessed she was wracked with nerves as she prepared to step back into the spotlight.

She says: I was incredibly nervous. But I am very cheerful, everything went right.

Bunchen and her husband, American footballer Tom Brady, greeted little Benjamin in December.
