Hot mama! Candice Swanepoel shows off her incredibly tiny waist in princess-style gown six months after giving birth at the Met Gala.

She gave birth to her first child nearly six months ago. 

And on Monday, Candice Swanepoel took a night off from mommy-duty to attend the fashion world's most prestigious event, the annual Met Gala. 

The benefit event, held annually at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, aides in raising funds for the museum's Costume Institute.

The blonde stunner oozed elegance in a classic, strapless ball gown.

Candice, 28, made a bold statement with her make-up, choosing to highlight her blue eyes with dramatic coats of dark liner.

The new mother styled her waist length hair in a tight half-updo. She accessorized with stud earrings, silver bracelets and rings. 

The evening, which featured the biggest names in fashion, was also attended by some of Candice's pals and top supermodels. 

The South African star took to Instagram stories to give her followers a behind-the-scenes look at her evening. 

While at the event, she caught pals Behati Prinsloo, 27, and Joan Smalls, 28.

'Gossip, gossip,' she joked, as she took a selfie video with the ladies.

Earlier in the evening, Candice and Behati appeared on Vogue's official Snapchat. 

'The mamas are out,' yelled the girls, with the clip's caption echoing their words. 

Both ladies appeared date and child free, with their baby's father presumably on babysitting duty for the evening. 

Candice shares son Anacã with fiance Hermann Nicoli, and Behait, daughter Dusty Rose with husband Adam Levine.
