Some noted that the 29-year-old seemed more unsteady and kept looking down during her second walk on the runway, where she was clad in giant white wings.

Initially, Bella seemed to attribute the difference in energy to her wardrobe, as she wrote on her Instagram story, “Ok we’re not going to pretend these wings weren’t 50 pounds but HOW BEAUTIFUL.” She later added of the wings, “Heavy or not… your girl will always keep walkin the walk.”
