Naomi Campbell Conquers The Vivienne Westwood Heels That Almost Killed Her 20 Years Ago

Naomi Campbell Conquers The Vivienne Westwood Heels That Almost Killed Her 20 Years Ago: Models fall on the runway all the time. But no fall is as famous as Naomi Campbell's epic stumble in 1993 during Vivienne Westwood's Paris Fashion Week show.

Sadly, the British supermodel was no match for Westwood's insanely high, lace-up platform heels and her very public tumble is now fashion history. But sometimes, life offers you second chances, and that's exactly what happened for the 43-year-old on Saturday during an appearance on UK's "The Jonathan Ross Show."

After chatting with Naomi about love, life and (of course) anger management, Ross pulled out the infamous Westwood heels and challenged the runway queen to strut in them again.

"The Face" judge was shocked to be reunited with the monstrous shoes after 20 years, but like a true supermodel (or sadist) she stepped up to the challenge.

Reunited once again # my shoes @VivenneWestwood I stayed standing . Thank Jonathan Ross @Wossy had a laugh ! … http://t.co/NmoXnKNUxm

It happens to the best of them...
