Roselyn Sanchez is a new mom of two — and looking as radiant as ever.

The Devious Maids actress stepped out Thursday evening to co-host the 18th Annual Latin Grammy Awards at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, setting the red carpet aflame in a one-shoulder, body-hugging black gown featuring cut-outs throughout the bodice and a trumpet skirt.

Later in the evening while onstage, the 44-year-old sported a fitted white jumpsuit complete with see-through panels all along the shoulders, arms, torso and legs.

The appearance marked Sanchez’s first public event since giving birth to son Dylan Gabriel — her second child with husband Eric Winter — on Nov. 3.

The Puerto Rican star — who also shares 5½-year-old daughter Sebella “Sebi” Rose, with fellow actor Winter, 41 — used Instagram ahead of the ceremony to clear the air regarding criticism she received as a result of attending the event, defending her right to be a working mom.

“I have read comments on my social media that show there are a lot of people worried. They tell me, ‘Roselyn, take care of yourself. You just had a baby and it’s dangerous. You have to rest for 40 days.’ You are absolutely right, but I already committed. I’m here,” she said in Spanish in the video. “I’m not 100 percent recovered, but I feel good. I promise you that I’m taking care of myself.”

“The baby is at the hotel with his two nannies and he is calm. Everything is okay, so don’t worry,” she added. “We are going to do the show tomorrow. It’s going to come out great. I’m doing it with a lot of love for all my people in Puerto Rico. To represent my country, I’ll make the sacrifice. Pray for me. The show will be spectacular.”
