The L'Oréal Paris' annual "Walk Your Worth" fashion show was electric in many ways. The event, which took center stage at the historic Palais Garnier on September 23, 2024, celebrated empowerment, beauty, and sorority. Renowned ambassadors and global fashion icons modeled the Women Ready-to-Wear Spring-Summer 2025 collection; however, Belinda made the headlines after taking a tumble.
The Spanish-Mexican singer accidentally tripped over her shoes while she was across the stage. She stumbled and had difficulty getting back on her feet, causing a brief moment of panic among the audience. Fortunately, Brazilian singer Anitta, who had just finished her performance, noticed the mishap and quickly rushed to Belinda's aid.

Social media users compared Belinda's incident with an episode of "Sex and the City," in which Carrie Bradshaw falls on a fashion show. "When real people fall in life, they get up again and keep walking… Thank you, Carrie, for making me feel a little better right now," Belinda wrote.
Following her fall, Belinda took to Instagram to share messages of support and encouragement from her friends and followers, highlighting the lessons of resilience she demonstrated on the runway. While most of the feedback was positive, Belinda also addressed those who had criticized her on social media with a simple message: "For the haters, kisses," accompanied by a photo of herself looking regal at the fashion show.
