Most men would jump at the chance to share the stage with a host of lingerie-clad supermodels.
But for Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine, he only had eyes for his model girlfriend Anne Vyalitsyna as she sashayed the catwalk at the annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
Performing his hit song Moves Like Jagger, smitten Levine was temporarily distracted from his set by the sight of the Russian blonde in blue lingerie.

What a lucky man: Levine plants a kiss on his girlfriend of nearly two years
Vyalitsyna was one a host of top models, including Adriana Lima, Miranda Kerr, Alessandra Ambrosio, Erin Heatherton, Doutzen Kroes and Chanel Iman, showcasing their fabulous figures.
While he had been in the zone singing when the other models strutted their stuff, Levine, 32, was happy to escort his girlfriend down the runway.
The 25-year-old looked stunning as she showed off her 34-24-34 figure in a bejewelled navy knickers and bra, which were teamed with sequinned 'fins', giving her the air of an aquatic creature.
After they got to the end of the catwalk at the Lexington Avenue Armory, Levine gave her a kiss on the cheek before stepping back to let the audience appreciate her curves.

Tough preparation: Vyalitsina admitted she'd been hitting the gym daily in the weeks leading up to the show
Backstage, Vyalitsyna posted photos of her in her pink Victoria's Secret robe getting her hair and make-up done before the big event on her Twitter page.
'With my favourite and beautiful Izabel Goulart backstage.'
Well that's definitely super! Brazilian supermodel Adriana Lima looked sensational in blue underwear and a massive 'Incredible' cape
Passion: The 30-year-old beauty embodies the spirit of lust and romance on the glittering catwalk
Unsurprisingly, Vyalitsyna has been hitting the gym in recent weeks to get her body in top condition for the titillating show.
She paid tribute to her personal trainer Justin Gelband for whipping her into shape.
She wrote on her Twitter page: 'Just finished my last work out before Victoria's Secret show. Feels so great to be in an amazing shape.
High drama: Lima looked ready to take off in her black lingerie and bird feathers
What a treasure! Ambrosio in the Passion Play wings, which took seven years to design and make

'Last three weeks had a lot of sweat and tears. Thank you Justin Gelband for putting up with me and kicking my a** like never before.'
Last night's show marked the third time Vyalitsyna has modelled for Victoria's Secret, having taken part in both the 2008 and 2010 shows.
Last year, Levine stayed in the audience as he watched Vyalitsyna struts her stuff.
What a show: Alessandra and Adriana make an arresting sight in light and dark colours at the fantastical show

Levine and Vyalitsyna have been dating since early 2010 after meeting at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue release party in Las Vegas where Maroon 5 performed.
However, undoubtedly one of the biggest stars of the Victoria's Secret show was Brazilian supermodels Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio, who are currently fourth and firth in the list of the world's top-paid models.
Mother-of-one Lima, 30, kicked off the show to the sounds of rapper Kayne West's hit Stronger in a simple blue set of knickers and bra, with orange thigh-high boots and a large 'Incredible' cape flowing behind her.
How super: Dutch supermodel Doutzen Kroes was celebrating her fourth year with Victoria's Secret

She then changed into a flamenco-style ensemble of black lace lingerie and stockings, which gave the audience a good view of her pert derrière.
And for the finale, she showed off her 34-24-35 curves in a black sheer bodystocking as she danced down the catwalk with Ambrosio.
Quirky: Minaj bends down so not to upstage the model
A man's fantasy land: Kanye West and Jay-Z looked thrilled to be sharing the stage with such a host of beauties
Contrasting to Lima, Ambrosio was dressed in softer lingerie - a ballet-themed pink ensemble with tutu, before changing into a white polka-dot bra and feathered skirt.
The 30-year-old was given the honour of wearing the Passion Play Fan Wings, which were seven years in the making.
All-American girl: Illinois-native Erin Heatherton went for a super-hero theme in PVC and glass wings

The antique copper wings are plated with 23-carat gold and are embellished with 105,000 Swarovski crystals.
Designed and made in Sydney by Manik Mercian, the glistening prop weighs 22 pounds but it was a fitting tribute to mark her 10th trot down the catwalk.
There were various different themes for the lengthy show, which gave the lingerie chain plenty of opportunities to showcase their latest designs.
High drama: South African model Candice Swanepoel (left) showed off her tiny waist in a black and white ensemble, before changing into a fun neon set

The $12m show was overflowing with acres of bare flesh as the angels model the lingerie brand's latest collection.
WWD reports that the New York show takes a full year to plan - and a small army to bring to fruition, including designers, seamstresses, embroiderers and prop makers.
A stunning ballet tribute segued into a evocation of the 'Passions' then to a Super Angels special, an aquatic homage, a New Orleans-style sequence, and finally a pumping disco Club Pink crescendo.
Sizzling: American model and ballet dancer Karlie Kloss looked like she was having plenty of fun during the show

Kanye's performance on stage was long-awaited - he was due to rap at the 2007 show but pulled out following the death of his mother.
He told the crowd: 'I lost my super hero and now she’s my super angel.'
West then introduced his 'big bro' Jay-Z, whose pregnant wife Beyonce was spotted watching from the front row in a white billowing dress.
Themes: Estonian model Karmen Pedaru (left) and French model Constance Jablonski embodied the diverse imagery of the evening

Miranda Kerr took back her crown - or rather, bra - after missing a year due to her pregnancy.
The Australian delivered baby Flynn, her son with husband Orlando Bloom, in January, was impossible to tell as she strutted in her show-stopping ice peacock outfit.
The piece de resistance was the show-stopping $2.5million Fantasy Treasure bra, dripping with yellow diamonds and pearls, which complemented Kerr's stunning figure perfectly.
• The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show will be screened on U.S. network CBS on November 29.
