All well, Elle!

UK -- Australian supermodel Elle Macpherson fought off a mugger Tuesday night on her way to a charity function in London. Macpherson was attacked just as she was crossing the road to the Move For AIDS VIP charity function's red carpet.

A witness tells London's Daily Star newspaper, "We all just looked in horror as we saw a figure in a hoody come out of the shadows.

"But as soon as he grabbed for Elle's bag, she swung around quite calmly, just went for his arm and got her bag ... it looked so simple.

"The mugger ... staggered back, then ran for it. The lights changed and we tried to follow, but he managed to get away."

Macpherson is known to use the martial art Tai Chi for meditation and relaxation.
