One of Glamour's Women of the Year Gigi Hadid nearly did a faceplant on her way to the glitzy ceremony while leaving her Manhattan apartment alongside younger sister Bella on Monday night.
The 21-year-old brunette remained comically stone-faced holding on to the 22-year-old blonde as she tripped in her expensive Christian Louboutin spiked pumps selected by stylist Elizabeth Sulcer.
Luckily, Gigi (born Jelena) managed to recover and steady herself in the Zuhair Murad FW/16 couture champagne-lace, turtleneck crepe creation featuring cascading kimono sleeves.
It would have been a disaster for the 5ft10in honoree to have damaged or soiled her glamorous gown before receiving her trophy onstage the Kings Theatre in Brooklyn.
The Stuart Weitzman collaborator had seemed more than a little shaky and nervous as she appeared on the Today show that same morning.
'I mean, I've heard so many good things about the event and every year people show up just to hear what the women have to say and it's always such a powerful and emotional night,' the New School drop-out told Savannah Guthrie.
'So I'm so excited and it's such an honor. It's kind of crazy I'm still kind of surprised.'
The culprit? Luckily, Gigi (born Jelena) managed to recover and steady herself in the Zuhair Murad FW/16 couture champagne-lace, turtleneck crepe creation featuring cascading sleeves.
Hadid - who boasts 48M followers - later defended her awkward appearance on the NBC morning show, tweeting: 'Always a little nervous and also freeeeezing today lol!'
Bella (born Isabella) could certainly commiserate with Gigi's stumble having embarrassingly fallen to her knees on the Michael Kors SS/17 catwalk at NYFW last year.
The Nike Air Force 1 spokesmodel opted for a white silk pantsuit with a glittery silver bustier and translucent pumps (also chosen by stylist Elizabeth Sulcer) for her sibling's big night.
The half-Jordanian IMG Models were both born to a life of luxury in Malibu before relocating to the Big Apple to pursue their respective careers in front of the camera.
Nepotism was on the millennial millionaires' sides as the daughters of TRHOBH alum Yolanda Hadid - wearing a black key-hole gown - and real estate developer Mohamed Hadid.
Like Gigi and Bella, the Dutch-born 53-year-old socialite enjoyed a successful career as a Ford Model and her youngest, 18-year-old Anwar, signed with IMG Models last year.
On Sunday, the Maybelline collaborator celebrated two years of dating her 'favorite human' - former 1D boybander Zayn Malik - by passionately kissing him in her Insta-stories.
