Ouch!

Candice Swanepoel took quite a tumble while walking the runway at the Givenchy spring-summer 2016 show during New York Fashion Week on Friday and suffered some nasty scrapes.

Dressed in a black, semi-sheer 3/4-length dress and stiletto red and black fringed ankle boots, the 26-year-old South African Victoria's Secret Angel, who appears in Givenchy's new fall ads, tripped and almost fell flat on her face. Security men helped her up and she continued walking the catwalk, adjusting her outfit.

Swanepoel later posted on her Instagram page a photo of the aftermath: Nasty looking, bloody scrapes on her knees.

"Thank you to who ever picked me up off the runway tonight," she wrote. "Left with little scratches but mostly a bruised ego. #ohwell."

Video of her tumble was posted by The Daily Mail.

Kendall Jenner also walked the catwalk and several other celebrities attended the show, including her pregnant sister Kim Kardashian and her husband Kanye WestCiara and Nicki Minaj.

A day earlier, Swanepoel was spotted at Rihanna's New York Fashion Week party, where she wore a sexy black leather outfit and flashed her engagement ring. The supermodel is engaged to longtime boyfriend Hermann Nicoli.
