Ming Xi conquers the Victoria’s Secret runway a year after THAT fall

Ming Xi looked elated as she made it through the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on Thursday.

Placing her hands on her chest the 29-year-old model appeared relieved as she managed to stay upright one year after taking a tumble at the 2017 event. 

Despite wearing perilously high lace-up heels, they were no challenge for Ming this time round as she nailed her walk at Pier 94 in New York in front of a star-studded crowd.

She did it! Ming Xi is overjoyed as she reaches the end of the runway without tripping over during Thursday’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show following last year’s fall

Ming looked gorgeous in a patterned bodysuit with ruffled neckline as she sauntered down the runway.

She wore a beautiful feathered set of wings and a bright orange bow around her neck.   

Later on she changed into a sporty lingerie look complete with padded mini skirt.

Before the event the Chinese beauty looked elated to be backstage as she palled around withBella Hadid.

Ming was all smiles as she was pictured recording some footage with Bella, 22, ahead of the runway extravaganza.

Ming was seen with her makeup done and wearing one of the slinky VS robes as she held a camera and mic stand.  

During last year’s event, which took place in Ming’s home city of Shanghai, the 5ft 10in beauty took a big tumble as she strut her stuff down the runway.

Ming was wearing over the knee lace-up heels and accidentally stepped on the flowing train she was wearing, causing her to trip and fall on her knees.

The seasoned vet smiled throughout and put on a brave face before bursting into tears backstage.

Once behind the curtains, the devastated model began to cry while fellow model, Lily Aldridge, tried to comfort her.

The brunette beauty, who has walked for the lingerie brand since 2013, addressed the incident in an Instagram post later that night.

‘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 wrote. ‘However, the support I received from everyone yesterday was incredible and I am truly grateful to everyone who was there for me.’
