When Chinese model Ming Xi took a tumble on the Victoria's Secret runway Monday in Shanghai, she somehow managed to turn a klutzy moment into a graceful work of art.

A smile remained plastered on the 28-year-old's face as her high heel snagged in her long train and she fell to her knees (those fancy armored leggings likely helped break her fall). She popped back up and carried on in mere seconds, the Huffington Post reports, as the audience burst into applause.

"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," Xi posted on Instagram late Monday night. "However, the support I received from everyone yesterday was incredible and I am truly grateful to everyone who was there for me."

 

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. However, the support I received from everyone yesterday was incredible and I am truly grateful to everyone who was there for me. @ed_razek Thank you for your supportive words and your continuous support throughout these 7 years. @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!! ❤️️#vsfashionshow @victoriassecret
