After two babies and a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, Megan Fox is officially back on the radar.

And here’s the thing: the woman looks hotter than ever. Perhaps it’s motherhood doing its magic, or maybe it’s the fact that she seems more real now — like someone we can relate to.

The actress recently appeared on ‘Ellen’ and caused quite a stir when the audience got a glimpse of her adorable kids.

Her boys, Noah at 19 months and Bodhi at two months, are seriously adorable. No kidding. They’re really super cute. Just check out the photo below, and try not to say “awwww” too much.

The brunette hottie also revealed that she was in her first trimester while shooting for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and constantly felt nauseated on the set.

She managed the pregnancy blues with the help of pickles and saltine crackers.

“The first time I was here I was pregnant and no one knew it and then the second time I just had my baby, but I got pregnant again so you’re sort of like a fertility good luck charm.”

“I got pregnant with Bodhi two weeks into filming ‘Ninja Turtles’, which is an action movie and requires a lot of running and jumping and stunts and so I spent the entire…anyone that’s been pregnant know your first trimester can be pretty rough and you’re nauseous all day long,” Fox revealed.

“So I spent the whole shoot basically [being nauseous], the producers would come see me in the morning in the make-up trailer and I would be clinging to a box of saltines and we had, we kept pickles in the refrigerator for me and I was just constantly on the verge of vomiting.”

For the show, Megan wore a simple gray shift dress and kept her hair, which was freshly colored in a light shade of brown, down in loose curls.

We also saw her shoes after the actress complained that her “precarious high heels” were half a size too big and that walking from the dressing room to the set was quite an effort.

Let’s blame the actress’s (or the show’s) stylist for the shoe size error. We all know that wearing shoes — especially high heels — that are too large or too small for your feet can be a pain to manage. That’s why buying shoes that fit right is always a must. Of course, women generally never really follow this rule 100%.

Below is a closer look at Megan’s high heels. We initially thought they were from Manolo Blahnik, but the metal logo plates on the outer soles tell us otherwise. Any idea where she might have scored her metallic stilettos?

We found a few alternatives to those metallic strappy sandals. Here are two very similar pairs that fit two very different budgets:
