Model falls on the 2017 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show runway -- but recovers in flawless fashion

The art of recovering from a fall proves just how skilled a model really is. Model Ming Xi proved to the world that she's a total catwalk pro when she fell -- looking absolutely graceful, we might add -- mid-runway walk during Monday's taping of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. The show was filmed at the Shanghai's Mercedes-Benz Arena -- in front of an audience of 18,000 people.
