Gigi Hadid goes barefoot after her shoe breaks on the Marc Jacobs NYFW Runway

Gigi Hadid – Marc Jacobs Spring 2020 Runway Show at Park Avenue Armory in NY

The Marc Jacobs Spring/Summer 2020 New York Fashion Week Show was a delightful and charming affair with a serious nostalgia of the 60s and 70s. Models strutted down the runway in tailored suits and voluminous mini dresses, with a vibrant color palette, lots of florals and trendy stripes. Accessories included fedora and floppy hats, and dashes of sequins and embellishments were also spotted.

In the midst of this all was supermodel Gigi Hadid who put the term thinking on your feet on literal terms as she suffered a wardrobe malfunction. The 24 year old American blonde walked barefoot on the runway as the heel of her shoe broke backstage. Stylist Katie Grand revealed on an Instagram post that Gigi was not planned to walk barefoot, and at one point on the runway she was seen with socks and heels still on.

Earlier during the show, Gigi was seen with her white leather mules and thigh-high silver socks still on, but backstage they broke off and the stylist had the option to either send her barefoot or fake a non broken heel, and going barefoot seemed more the natural way. The stylist also thanked Gigi for being so patient, beautiful and inspiring, and the model sure did turn up a fashion storm, showing off her incredible legs on the runway.
