This is the hair-raising moment a stunning Russian model posed for a death-defying photoshoot on top of one of the world's tallest skyscrapers.
这是一个惊心动魄的时刻:一位美貌的俄罗斯模特在世界最高的摩天大楼之一拍下了这张“亡命照”。
Viki Odintcova, 23, was held up only by the hand of a male assistant as she leaned out into thin air from the 1,004-foot tall Cayan Tower in Dubai in a bid to get the perfect Instagram shot.
为了拍下完美照片在Instagram分享,23岁的Viki Odintcova爬上1004英尺(约306米)高的迪拜卡延大厦楼顶,探身出去,置身于稀薄的空气中。她仅仅靠抓住一名男助理的手保证自己不摔下去。
The Russian model first tilted backwards over the huge drop, before dangling high above the ground from the arm of her bearded helper.
她先是身体尽量向后倾斜,随后整个身体悬挂在空中,仅靠抓住助理的手保证不掉下去。
The Instagram queen, who has more than three million followers on social media, admitted that she was a bit nervous before the stunt.
