There was no calm before the Stormy.

Porn star Stormy Daniels tripped and nearly fell in a pair of towering black strappy stilettos as she was swarmed by dozens of photographers outside Manhattan federal court Monday.

Dressed in a pastel pink knee-length skirt and suit jacket, Daniels was whisked from a car into the courthouse on Pearl Street through a sea of photographers, who knocked over a metal barricade in the chaotic crush.

Daniels showed up to court with her lawyer, Michael Avenatti, who ducked in and out of court an hour earlier. She turned heads as she entered the courtroom and took a seat in the galley.

Cohen is set to face a federal judge who ordered the lawyer to turn over a list of his clients and answer questions about his practice.

Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, is suing Cohen for defamation and claimed the nondisclosure agreement she signed is invalid because Trump never signed it.
