Gigi Hadid managed to keep her cool when her outfit broke at the Victoria’S Secret Fashion Show.


The model, who walked in the annual underwear spectacular for the second year in a row, stunned in a series of jaw dropping, barely there outfits.


One nearly got the better of her though, and she narrowly avoided a wardrobe malfunction when one of her chest straps snapped. She was wearing huge black wings strapped in with velvet ties and a black lace bra but luckily the snap didn't cause her wings to fall, and she managed to finish her walk.


Not all fans were best pleased that Gigi and her fellow model Kendall Jenner, who also first walked at the 2015 show, got to don wings though. Some were left disgruntled that the pair got to wear a pair of the coveted Angel accessory, as they are normally reserved for Victoria’s Secret veterans like Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio.


The 2016 show was held in the Grand Palais in Paris, France, on Wednesday (30Nov16), with 51 beauties showing off their best assets in a range of underwear from the lingerie giant.


A 1,300 strong audience watched beauties including Gigi’s sister Bella Hadid and Jasmine Tookes, who got to wear the $3 million fantasy bra, strut their stuff. Jasmine's jeweled piece drew gasps of awe when it was showcased, and was created by jeweller Eddie Borgo using 9000 precious stones, taking 700 hours to create and weighing in at more than 450 carats.


Guests were treated to music from The Weeknd, Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga, who also got in on the fashion action by wearing bespoke pieces by Parisian designer Azzedine Alaia.


Fans can catch the show when it's screened on 5 December (16).
