Uh-oh! One model took a tumble during the Victorias Secret show
Reminding us that Victorias Secret angels are still only human, those who witnessed the VSFS 2017 already have shared that one of the models takes a tumble on stage halfway down the runway.
Ming Xi, one of the most stunning creatures to grace the planet, slipped on the patent stage in the complicated high-heeled boots.
The model pulled off the fashion industry faux pas with undeniable grace, smiling all the while.

Lucky for Ming, Brazilian model Gizele Oliveira was hot on her heels to pick her up after she fell.
Gizele then bolstered a round of applause from the audience for Ming, who kept her head high and a smile on her face as she finished a lap of the runway.
Right after the show, Ming took to Instagram to share her feelings about the fall with her followers.

'As many of you may already know, I fell during my 5th year walking at the Victoria's Secret show yesterday. It was no doubt one of the hardest moments I have ever had to go through in my career, especially since the show was taking place in my hometown, in front of my mother's and my people's eyes,' she began the heartfelt post.
'However, the support I received from everyone yesterday was incredible and I am truly grateful to everyone who was there for me. '
'@giizeleoliveira Thank you for helping me up after the fall, it was a very selfless and loving act from you.'
'Thank you to all the girls who rushed to comfort me at backstage after what had happened, you are all family to me. Lastly thank you to everyone who sent and left me supportive messages. I will pick myself up from where I fell, and I will keep going in order to repay all the support you all have given me,' she finished.
Thankfully, the Chinese model wasn't injured in the fall.
Ming's graciousness and ability to smile through what was undeniably an embarrassing moment has cemented her place as our new favourite Victorias Secret model.
