Doutzen Kroes suffered a wardrobe malfunction during the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on Tuesday in NYC – and handled the situation with professionalism.
The Dutch supermodel, 39, was one of the many stars who strutted on the runway – despite fans labeling the event as the ‘most boring show ever.’
In viral video, Kroes made her way down the catwalk as the track, Femininomenon, by Chappell Roan played throughout the venue.
However, at one point, one of her heels suddenly became stuck in a thin crack on the runway.
Kroes could be seen bending down to remove her shoe, with fellow model Imaan Hammam reaching her hand out to offer assistance as she strutted by.

The mother-of-two showed off her toned figure wearing a pastel pink bra as well as a pair of pink and white-colored bottoms.
She layered the look with a sheer, white netted skirt and slipped into a pair of open-toed, pink strappy heels that contained butterfly embellishments.
Kroes also wore a pair of silver wings behind her back as she joined other models on the runway.
The star opted for minimal accessories to allow the outfit to be the main focal point, and added a pair of chunky, white-hooped earrings.
Doutzen’s blonde locks were parted in the middle, and effortlessly flowed down past her shoulders in light waves.
Her makeup was glammed up, and comprised of a layer of mascara to her lashes as well as a smoky shadow around her eyes.

A warm blush was added to better accentuate her cheekbones, while a pink tint was worn on her lips for a finishing touch.
Kroes first made her debut on the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in 2005 when she was 20-years-old. She later became a Victoria’s Secret from 2008 through 2014.
The supermodel was last seen on the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show runway a decade earlier in 2014.
During an interview with Page Six ahead of the fashion event on Tuesday, Doutzen opened up about her return.
‘It’s incredible. I cannot believe it’s been 10 years – I had to look it up! Where did the time go?’ she expressed to the outlet.
‘I’m 39 now, and getting wrinkles here and there,’ Kroes said, adding that she is focused on ‘accepting aging.’
‘I gave up the fight! I want to see beauty in everything. Self-development, self-care and self-love…it sounds very cliché, but I really believe that that’s what shows beauty. Being content with who you are.’

Ten years after she last walked at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, Doutzen told the publication that she is a ‘different person’ following ‘many years of self-reflection.’
‘I’ve learned that work is not who I am. I am not my job. Everything that I get to do for my job is a bonus – and I really, really enjoy it.’
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show returned on Tuesday – with the last show taking place back in 2018.
Aside from Doutzen, others that walked the runway included Tyra Banks, Gigi Hadid, Bella Hadid, Adriana Lima, Barbara Palvin, Imaan Hammam, Ashley Graham, Alaato Jazyper, Xu Wei, and transgender models Valentina Sampaio and Alex Cosani.
Cher, Tyla and Blackpink’s Lisa took to the stage as the musical guests – making it the first all-female lineup in the brand’s history.
Fans had the chance to stream the event live on YouTube as well as Amazon Prime Video. However, social media users soon slammed the show as ‘boring’ after a ‘woke’ comeback.
