At Milan Fashion Week, model Eva Herzigova made a comeback on the runway as she walked for Label Missoni. Missoni held their runway show at Milan Fashion Week featuring their 2022 Fall-Winter collection on Friday, February 25, 2022.

Eva Herzigova closed the show and left everyone stunned as she walked down the runway. She wore a long-sleeved multii-colored Lurex maxi dress from the label. The dress was fitted as it clung onto the model's body to show off her figure. The look was completed with a pair of red boots and a bob in crimped hair.

For fashion enthusiasts, Herzigova's stroll was more than a walk, as it marked the return of the model after contracting a serious case of COVID in December 2020, which many seemed to think wouldn't be possible.

In an Instagram post last year, the model admitted that she still had symptoms, but that she was getting better each day. She said,

"I’m back to myself. Still get moments of brain fog and fatigue but I’m feeling so much better. I have been taking homeopathy drops that have pulled me through the darkness."

Eva also later updated about her condition in February 2021, where she mentioned her lingering symptoms and how she went on a spa retreat for betterment. She wrote,

"I felt like my body can't manage on its own to get rid of the lingering symptoms from Covid. It’s been two days and I must say all the detoxifying treatments and vegan nourishment has been so helpful. This is my first time spa ever and I can feel the shift in my well-being already."
