Alicia Kaur: Heel breaks mid-catwalk, but model Alicia Kaur doesn’t miss a beat: Her calm response wins the internet
A broken heel can throw even the most experienced model off her stride. But Alicia Kaur wasn’t about to let a wardrobe mishap take over her moment on the runway.The model recently shared a video on Instagram showing exactly what happened when her heel broke in the middle of her catwalk. The shoe slipped off her foot and was left hanging around her ankle, but Alicia simply kept walking.No panic. No awkward stop. She carried on as if nothing had happened.In fact, she even kept her foot arched as though the heel was still firmly in place. The little detail made the mishap surprisingly hard to spot unless you knew what had happened.Alicia shared the video with a rather amused caption: “Oops… my shoe broke. lol 😂 mid cat walk… no time to stop, just keep going, no one’s going to know lol 😂 These moments as a model you pray never happen, but they do, and thankfully no one noticed… but winning cos we caught it on camera!”The video has since caught attention online, with many people praising her for staying composed instead of letting the broken shoe derail the walk.One person pointed out just how convincing she was, writing, “Even managed to keep the height of the heel equally up.”Another admitted the broken shoe was almost impossible to notice, saying, “Haha, damn lol, I swear I wouldn’t notice if you hadn’t zoomed in on that shot…🙃. This is too good 🙌🏼🔥.”There was also some criticism, though, with one commenter questioning whether models are given good-quality footwear for runway shows. “The designers put all their efforts into clothes; why don’t they use good-quality footwear too? Have seen this a lot of times; sometimes the heels break,” the comment read.Someone else felt Alicia shouldn’t have had to push through the mishap at all, suggesting she could have stopped, fixed the shoe and continued without any pressure to pretend nothing had happened.Still, the moment showed just how quickly a model sometimes has to think on her feet. A runway may look perfectly polished from the audience, but things can go wrong in seconds.And when they do, Alicia Kaur’s response was simple: keep walking.
