Even Victoria’s Secret Angels aren’t immune to the occasional wardrobe mishap.

Back in September 2016, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley proved that even the most seasoned red-carpet pros can struggle with fit, arriving at the opening of the Nirav Modi jewelry boutique on London’s Old Bond Street with a noticeable case of toe overhang.

It looked like Rosie was doing her best to scrunch her feet and keep them from going beyond the open toes of her black patent sandals the entire evening. The English model’s poor toes eventually gave out at the end of the event.

Her black lace zip-front bustier, although a bit ill-fitting at the boobs, provided a sultry boudoir contrast to her menswear-inspired black shirt and pleated wide-leg trousers.

All of that, however, was only a backdrop to the blinding and very expensive-looking Nirav Modi diamond drop earrings, diamond choker, and emerald-and-diamond ring.
