Last week, the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show was held in Shanghai. The models looked beautiful, the fashions were spectacular, and the whole show went off without a hitch — almost.
Unfortunately, one of the models fell while she was walking the runway. It was a moment of extreme embarrassment, but she handled it like a total champ. Still, we can't help feeling for her!
This year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show may have been the most spectacular one yet.

Ming Xi was actually born in Shanghai, so this show in her hometown was a particularly special one for her to participate in. Unfortunately, things didn't go very smoothly for her.Ming Xi was wearing a beautiful, flowy outfit for the show.

In addition to the super flowy skirt, Ming was also wearing an intricate backpiece made of silver and white flowers. Hamilton star Leslie Odom Jr. was singing live as she walked down to the end of the runway. It was then that things took a turn.Ming's flowy skirt got caught underneath the heel of her shoe, and she tumbled to the ground.

It happened in a split second, but of course, everyone noticed. How embarrassing!Ming took a few moments to gather herself and adjust her floral wings before once again rising to her feet.

Luckily, another Victoria's Secret Angel came to Ming's rescue. Gizele Oliveira walked up and helped Ming to her feet. Once Ming was ready, Gizele stepped back and applauded while Ming finished her walk. The video of the fall is hard to watch...If you look closely, you can see Ming's shoe get caught in her skirt right before she falls.
