Despite her years of runway experience, Candice Swanepoel took a nasty tumble at New York Fashion Week.
The Victoria’s Secret model fell to the floor, grazing her arms and knees, while walking in Givenchy’s spring/summer 2016 runway show on Friday night.
Candice was offered support from audience members in the front row and made a graceful recovery, continuing to walk down the catwalk – despite sporting some cuts on her knees.
Taking to Instagram after the incident, Candice, 26, said she was physically fine but had suffered a “bruised ego”.
She wrote: “Thank you to who ever picked me up off the runway tonight. left with little scratches but mostly a bruised ego #ohwell (sic)”
Stars in attendance at the show included Kim Kardashian West – whose sister Kendall Jenner also walked for Givenchy – her husband Kanye West, Nicki Minaj and Ciara.
Last month, Candice got engaged to Brazilian model Hermann Nicoli.
A source close to the South African beauty told E! News: “She couldn’t be happier.”
Earlier this year, Candice admitted she is eager to start a family, claimed she already felt married.
She said: “I would love to have children. I’m not sure about marriage yet. I kind of feel married already. 10 years is kind of a marriage, so I don’t really need papers to tell me that.”
