But as she left the event, her glamorous accessory betrayed her, getting caught underneath the car and yanking forcibly as she drove off.

“A reminder for the ladies: REMOVE your neck scarves before entering or operating any heavy machinery! Nearly decapitated myself getting the scarf tangled underneath the car on the way home,” she wrote on Instagram.
In the video shared on social media, Moulton showed off the strapless black dress she wore before cutting to pictures and video of a thick red burn that wrapped around her neck where the scarf had been pulled off.
Shortly after, Moulton shared another video of her wound, which had since opened and was beginning to form a nasty scab.
“Not even the Paris filter can help me,” she joked in the caption.
“We are off to get this medically dressed—don’t worry folks. My spirits are still high. Thriving & surviving, etc.”
Followers have rushed to the comment section to send their well wishes to the influencer.
“Eli! That is frightening. Looks sore too. Hope you are ok x,” one wrote.
“Fashion is a dangerous business. You poor love,” wrote another.
