She opened the "Come Fly With Me" segment at Victoria's Secret exhibition, disguised as a dreamy sexy air hostess. Kurková was forced to walk with only one shoe on as a result of the design flaw, and she collapsed off her right shoe and slipped off her foot half way down the catwalk, prompting her to start walking with only one shoe on as nothing happened.
