She was assaulted by a fan following the Max Mara catwalk show at Milan Fashion Week on Thursday, September 22.
But just hours after the attack, model Gigi Hadid seemed to have put the harrowing incident behind her, showing no signs of distress as she floated down the Fendi Spring-Summer 17 catwalk looking cool, calm and collected.

On Thursday, while exiting the Max Mara show with her sister Bella, Gigi got a taste of the dark side of adoration as it appears a male stranger managed to come up behind her and grab her.
