But that’s not the only time Sonia found herself in an embarrassing situation.
Remembering a morning walk through the lobby of a five-star hotel after an evening shoot, she noticed an unusual amount of attention on her.
Having no hair and make-up done left her feeling out of place, but she carried on, only to find out from her laughing colleagues that she was parading around with a strip of hair extensions hanging from her handbag.
“It looked like a border on a tote bag, only in this case it looked more like a merkin bag,” she joked.
