Golden groove: Nadia Vodianova waves her long Balmain dress in the air and flashes her stubbly legs as hits the dance floor at the Harper's Bazaar Women of the Year awards
Every woman knows that if you're going to go stocking-free, then your legs must be silky smooth.
Something model Natalia Vodianova forgot to take on board when she attended an awards ceremony last night.
The 29-year-old Russian flashed a pair of uncharacteristically stubbly legs as she arrived at the Harper's Bazaar Women of the Year bash in London's Mayfair.
As she drew up outside One Mayfair, the cameras caught her unshaven legs as she sat in the back of a car.
But maybe she hadn't realised that she was in a need of a trim, as she openly flashed her legs and waved her long golden dress around on the dance floor at the event.
Apart from her grooming mishap, she looked stunning in the floor-length gown that was sexily slashed right up her thigh, as she got her groove on on the dance floor.

Natalia was a guest at the annual event that recognises celebrity women and the charity work they do.
She was awarded the gong for Inspiration of the Year, having raised money to build children's playgrounds in Russia and Britain.
She was joined at the event by actress Emma Thompson, who was made Role Model of the Year for her work as an actress, producer, writer and activist, campaigning for victims of abuse, torture and rape, and artist-turned-film director Sam Taylor-Wood, who was named Renaissance Woman of the Year.
Russian-born Natalia is married to property heir Justin Portman, with whom she has three children, and currently lives in London.
She signed as a model to Viva Models in Paris when she was just 17 and has modelled for campaigns for Calvin Klein, Louis Vuitton, Yves Saint Laurent and Chanel.

She is also the founder and the president of the Naked Heart Foundation, an organisation that provides safe environments for children to play in in Russia.
She is also an ambassador for Hear The World, an international campaign that raises awareness about hearing loss.
But she has faced criticism for her philanthropy and earlier this year she revealed that one of her friends was less than positive about her charity work.
She said: 'One of my close friends asked how much money I made from the foundation. Is she insane? That's not philanthropy, that's robbery! While most people are very supportive, some can be very cynical; they think I'm doing it to raise my profile – though why would I need to do that?'
