Naomi Campbell forced to wear ballet pumps to party after she's injured in Paris mugging

That's gotta hurt: Naomi Campbell forced to wear ballet pumps to party after she's injured in Paris mugging

As one of Britain's most iconic fashion models she is used to strutting down the runway in high heels.


But, Naomi Campbell stepped out in some very unlikely footwear as she put her best dress on for a glamorous party on Sunday evening.


The 42-year-old looked superb during the night out as she attended the NBC Universal 2013 TCA Winter Press Tour Party.

However, instead of wearing a pair of her trademark high heels she sported some flat shoes to make her night out a little easier.


Naomi, who was at The Langham Huntington Hotel and Spa in Pasadena, California, looked lovely in her plunging neckline dress as she hung out with fellow models Karolina Kurkova and Coco Rocha.


Her good friend and former male model Nigel Barker also joined the group as they made a very stylish pack.


Although Miss Campbell's footwear may have let down her outfit, it is most likely she was forced to wear the flats due to her recent injury.


Naomi was left in a wheelchair after thieves attempted to snatch her handbag as she sat in a limousine in central Paris, French in November 2012.


Revelations about the attack last November came following claims about a ‘violent mugging’ which saw the supermodel end up in a wheelchair.

There were reports that she had been attacked just before Christmas as she tried to hail a taxi in the French capital.

In fact she was already sitting in the car when two men on a motorbike are said to have tried to grab her handbag on November 21.


The attempted snatch took place in Rue de Moussy, in the trendy Marais district of central Paris, just off the Rue de Rivoli.


Nothing was taken, but Ms Campbell filed a complaint at the nearby police station of the 4th arrondissement.

There she refused to have a medical examination, but was later pictured in a wheelchair and wearing a brace.


Sources in New York later claimed Ms Campbell had suffered a torn leg ligament in the bag snatch.


Luckily for Naomi her billionaire boyfriend, Vladimir Doronin, was able to send his private jet to fly her to Vail, Colorado, where she was treated by J. Richard Steadman, one of the world's leading orthopedic surgeons.
