Windswept Caitlyn Jenner is startled by the blustery conditions as she battles her umbrella outside the Victoria's Secret show

The Victoria's Secret show may have been bursting at the seams with glitz and glamour.

But the mystique has to stop somewhere, as front row fan Caitlyn Jenner proved on Tuesday night as she got caught in a gust of wind outside the New York event.

Startled as she made her way down the steps at Lexington Avenue Armory, the 66-year-old made a futile attempt to tackle her umbrella and avoid ruining her polished appearance in the rain.

Woah! Caitlyn Jenner had a little fright when a gust of wind blew her hair into her face on exiting Tuesday night's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in New York

Woah! Caitlyn Jenner had a little fright when a gust of wind blew her hair into her face on exiting Tuesday night's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in New York

The father-of-six was escorted to a car via the back steps, forced to hold onto the arm of her bodyguard as he protected her with a brolly in the face of a blustery downpour.

And the feat was visible on her face when she was captured looking perturbed and windswept as the breeze parted her glossy shoulder-length tresses.

Caitlyn, back on level ground, later took responsibility for the rain shield as she recovered her dignified exit.

Caitlyn, by now accustomed to walking in heels, had dressed up for the event in a black cutaway minidress that featured revealing sheer panels.

After all, it had been a very big night for the Keeping Up With The Kardashians patriarch, who was in the front row to see 20-year-old daughter Kendall lead the runway.

Kendall's proud father Caitlyn, formerly known as athlete Bruce Jenner, even put aside his family tension with ex-wife Kris to support her as she made her Victoria's Secret debut.

While they were not seated together, Kris, 60, and Caitlyn reunited backstage at the New York catwalk show following a tumultuous year that saw them split under the tension of his gender transition.

Caitlyn sat with pals while Kris was joined in the audience by toyboy boyfriend Corey Gamble, who was celebrating his 35th birthday.

The former couple - who were married for almost 24 years - officially divorced in March, just before Caitlyn came out as a transgender woman.

Kendall recently revealed that they made her and her sister Kylie,18, take sides.

In a teaser for the upcoming series of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, she said: 'Dad and mom put me and Kylie into choosing between them.'

Kris previously lashed out at Caitlyn, telling her to 'go f**k himself'. She was furious with her ex - who was known as Bruce before he transitioned - after she accused her of bullying her during their 24 years of marriage in her first interview as a woman. 

But they put aside any lingering tension and posed up happily at the star-studded Victoria's Secret show.
