For the model wearing the look, it is a bit of a full circle moment, coming back from an embarrassing moment.

In 2017, during the Victoria’s Secret Show in Shanghai, Chinese model Ming Xi slipped on stage before falling down. She was helped to her feet by the following model, but later reflected that the incident was highly embarrassing and cried backstage.

While this could have been a huge setback, the model did not let this affect her in the long term, and actually returned to walk in the 2018 show, the final before the show’s reboot in 2024. The mishap also led to her personal life taking a turn, technically setting up the events that led her to fall in love with Mario Ho, son of billionaire Stanley Ho.

The two recently held their wedding ceremony, a multi-million dollar event and have two children.

With this year’s show, Ming Xi became one of the most viral moments of the night, this time without any embarrassment.
