Doutzen Kroes didn’t let a small mishap ruin her angelic return to the runway.
Indeed, while the Dutch model walked in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in New York City Oct. 15, her heel got caught in a section of the catwalk—but she recovered like a pro.
For the show—which also saw fellow veteran angels like Gigi Hadid, Bella Hadid, Adriana Lima and Tyra Banks grace the stage—Doutzen rocked a blush pink two-piece underwear set, sheer crystal calf-length skirt, silver angel wings and strappy pink heels encrusted with bows.
In a video posted to TikTok, the 39-year-old strutted down the runway, but stopped when her left heel became stuck in a section of the floor. When she lifted the shoe free, it slipped off of her foot while swinging from the straps around her ankle.
The supermodel—who made her first appearance on the Victoria’s Secret runway in 10 years during the 2024 event—channeled her years of experience to recover from the speedbump, simply taking a second to bend down and put the heel back on. As she resumed her walk, she held two hands up to the crowd, who erupted in cheers.
