And when they aren't, it's nice to see them behave the way Bella Hadid did on the runway at New York Fashion Week, modeling for designer Michael Kors.

But she got right up again with a smile and carried on, even tweeting later that she's got a new career since the incident:

So far as we know, Kendall Jenner, who also took to the Kors catwalk that night, had no problems making it through.
