Whoops! Poor thing took a tumble during the British Fashion Awards gala!

Writes The Telegraph UK:

She walked straight into an ill-concealed “orchestra pit” and promptly disappeared from sight.

All the audience of fashion luminaries, including Kate Moss and Victoria Beckham, saw was a flash of Elson’s red velvet, Alexander McQueen fishtail gown, as she tumbled four feet downwards into the darkness.

…

She appeared, back on stage, within minutes, declaring:”I am the clumsiest person on this earth. I cannot believe I just did that.

“That is the worst fall I have ever had. I might have broken a rib, but I’m fine.”
