High heels nearly made Madonna fall as she is crowned Woman of the Year at Billboard event

Madonna almost came a cropper as she stepped out in a ridiculous pair of sky high platform heels on Friday.

The singer, 58, attended the Billboard Women in Music luncheon at Pier 36 in New York City, and as she exited the venue she very nearly face planted.

Fortunately she managed to regain her balance before doing any real damage.
She also had a trusty security team around her who looked like they were ready to catch her. Photos after the cut...
