By Tamara Abraham for MailOnline. It will come as little surprise to any catwalk model. But Jessica Alba has revealed double-sided sticky tape to be her unlikely must-have when hitting the red carpet.
The actress, 31, uses the stationery cupboard essential to attach the soles of her feet to the shoes in order that they don't slip. She revealed the handy tip at last week's Met Gala, when asked how she avoided high heel related-injuries. No slip-ups: Jessica Alba, pictured in two different looks on Thursday last week, has revealed that she uses double-sided tape to stick her feet to her shoes.
Secure: The actress's past experience of lost shoes and public falls has taught her to play it safe and stick the soles of her feet in place.
She told New York Magazine : 'I stick every shoe to the bottom of my foot with double-stick tape. She added that it was unfortunate experience that had taught her to be so cautious.
It's all happened,' she admitted. Ms Alba is likely to have learned the trick from friends in the fashion industry. Models, who must often walk the runway in ill-fitting footwear, often spray the soles of their shoes with hairspray to make them stickier. Effortless glamour: The steps at the Met Gala last week were no sweat for Ms Alba, whose heels had no chance of slipping off.
