Miranda Kerr took to the catwalk for Balenciaga yesterday, despite being five months pregnant.

The Australian model was watched by husband Orlando Bloom at the Paris Fashion Week show, with other celebrities including Charlotte Gainsbourg and Salma Hayek taking in the designs by Nicolas Ghesquiere.

The Spring/Summer 2011 collection was hard on utilitarianism - applique body panels, cocoon coats and riveted leather belts made a strong showing on the runway, with Ghesquiere revealing he wanted a wet look to the clothes.

“I wanted to make everything look as though it had been in the rain.”

Miranda was not the only big name to walk the runway for Balenciaga - Brazilian beauty Gisele Bundchen also made waves in a white ensemble with a see-through skirt.
