Another user wrote, "I don't understand how literal VALENTINO still makes models walk in shoes that are too small???"
The third user commented, "I fear they just aren't giving the correct sizes or their shoes are just that bad to walk in because if you have a Nineties legend tripping like that? Hmm."
Ms McMenamy's walk after the fall also left concerned some social media users.
A user wrote, "The shoes messed her up so bad she forgot how to walk on her own feet."
Another user wrote, "Look at how her feet were still wobbly after she took them off. I don't have Valentino shoes but from my experience wearing other brands like Balenciaga, YSL, etc, I find that luxury shoes are mostly not comfortable."

For the show, the supermodel wore a net-embellished white off-shoulder cocktail dress. She teamed it with bright pink gloves.
