Celebrity Wardrobe Malfunctions That Will Have You Laughing Out Loud

How Did The Designer Miss This?

Ariana Grande has a fashion sense that turns heads everywhere she goes. However, during the 2020 VMAs, her outfits drew heads for reasons other than admiration. In fact, most people were just straight up confused. Ariana started the evening in a large, fluffy ball gown before changing to the ensemble pictured above. At first glance, you may not see anything wrong with this gown, but look more closely at her chest. The fabric is pinned in a way that gives far too much pointed emphasis to Ariana’s nipple line. It’s quite an odd look that most don’t consider particularly flattering. We have to wonder if this strange look was intentional, or if Grande’s designer simply missed this detail.

Kim Unintentionally Flashed The Papparazi… Or Did She?

Kim Kardashian is no stranger to dresses riding up, sliding down, ripping, or otherwise malfunctioning while she’s in view of the media. In this photo, you can see Kim exiting her Mercedes in a gorgeous yellow wrap skirt with a matching tank top. As Kim went to step down, the skirt peeked open a bit too far and revealed Kim’s neon green underwear! Apparently, that neon green line is part of her famous Skims shapewear. So, was this an accidental slip, or an intentional promotion of her shapewear line? Only Kim knows, but we have a guess!

The Pasty Incidient

Hayden Panettiere attended the Golden Globes with her boyfriend back in 2011, and the couple looked absolutely stunning together. Hayden chose this stunning floor-length blue gown to wear, but the fabric around her chest is startlingly sheer. Instead of wearing a strapless bra or shapewear underneath to conceal her breasts as many celebrities do, Hayden decided to try a different method. She used bright white pasties to cover her nipples, which work in theory, but not in practice. Rather than covering her modesty, these pasties shone clearly through her dress and drew everyone’s eye straight to the area she was trying to conceal!

Even A Witch Can’t Fight The Wind

Emma Watson faced her own Marilyn Monroe moment while attending the London premiere of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. While chatting with fans and signing autographs, a burst of wind caused Emma’s dress to flutter apart and revealed her nude underwear. Later, during an appearance on “Late Show with David Letterman,” Emma said she didn’t remember when this moment even happened! She laughed the incident off and said, “At least I was wearing underwear!” We think she handled this with a grace Hermione would be proud of!

The Iconic Nip Slip No One Can Forget

When most people think of celebrity wardrobe malfunctions, the first thing they think of is Janet Jackson’s nip slip during the Superbowl half-time show back in 2004. Janet was deep into her performance when her breast fell out of her outfit in front of 140 million people! Many people questioned whether Janet caused this wardrobe malfunction on purpose, but it’s clear from the desolate look on her face that this was completely unintentional. Janet was suitably embarrassed and has never commented on the incident.

You Can’t Wear This Dress With No Underwear!

Chrissy Teigen has suffered her share of wardrobe malfunctions over the years, and she never appears bothered by them. The model is probably used to wearing small amounts of clothing in front of large crowds of people, but that’s in a setting that calls for such a thing. However, while attending the American Music Awards and walking the red carpet, Chrissy’s dress revealed far too much. The dress had huge slits on either side and was barely held together by paperclips! Why would Chriss wear a dress like this without any underwear? It just doesn’t make sense. Unless, of course, she was trying to flash people. The following day, Chrissy had this to say via Instagram, “Apologies to anyone harmed mentally or physically by my hooha.”

Showing Off That Shapewear

 

This blurry photo caught quite the unexpected moment during Taylor Swift’s onstage performance in 2011. The singer was using a wind machine during her performance, and accidentally fell victim to a hurricane-level gust of wind that tossed her dress up around her waist, exposing the shapewear she wore underneath. You can see Taylor desperately trying to hold down the front of the dress in classic Marilyn Monroe style. The singer was a little embarrassed by unexpectedly flashing the audience, but she soldiered on and finished her performance without missing a beat.

The Kardashians Have No Time For Retakes

Kourtney Kardashian and her sister decided to set up a cute, slumber party themed photo shoot for their Instagram pages. The two ladies posed on the bed while clutching stuffed animals. Kourtney dressed in a tight, pink sequined dress and noticed her underwear showing while reviewing the photo. Rather than take the time to redo their picture, Kourtney merely placed a heart emoji over the bit of underwear showing and posted the photo anyway. You have to admire her authenticity!

Twirl At Your Own Risk

We’ve seen several Marilyn Monroe-esque slips on this list, but what happened to Arta Dobroshi at the Cannes Film Festival is an entirely different type of incident. The actress chose a gorgeous, flowing skirt that would make any woman want to twirl around. That’s exactly what Arta did when this photo was captured, and her face implies she had no idea what she revealed while giving her best twirl. Arta’s skirt completely revealed her bare bottom, leaving very little to the imagination. We have to wonder if Arta looked back on this photo and cringed or if she simply shrugged the moment off as so many other celebs on this list did.

That Awkward Moment When You Pole Dance Too Hard

Lil Nas is one of the few males on this list, but his wardrobe malfunction was just as embarrassing as any of the other celebrities’ experiences. Lil Nas was doing some serious pole dancing while performing on Saturday Night Live when the unthinkable happened. The rapper’s pants ripped directly around his crotch, causing this hilarious look of surprise captured in this photo. Lil Nas took to Twitter to comment on the embarrassing moment. This is what he had to say, “at first i was afraid to even perform. then we rehearsed for 2 weeks, then all of the dancers got removed because one had covid and new ones had to learn the routine in 24 hours, and then i ended up ripping my pants and couldn’t finish. everything happens for a reason tho lol.” At least he didn’t take the embarrassing moment too hard!

Kinky On and Off Screen

Most people would consider losing your clothes onstage a kinky experience, which would line up with Dakota Johnson’s character, Anastasia Steele, in 50 Shades of Grey. However, this was not an intentional moment. Dakota was onstage to accept the favorite dramatic movie actress award for her role in 50 Shades and experienced a major wardrobe malfunction. Her dress broke apart in the back after she hugged the presenter, causing others to come to her aide and help her hold it together. Dakota had an excellent sense of humor about the incident and joked with the crowd after it happened. Referring to her scenes in the popular movie trilogy, Dakota said, “It’s not like nobody here hasn’t already seen my boobs.”

Walking In Heels Should Be A Sport

One of the most overlooked wardrobe malfunctions tends to involve high heels! Wearing high heels isn’t for the faint of heart. You need serious leg strength and formidable pain tolerance to wear 5+ inch heels for hours on end. Occasionally, even when you’re a heel-wearing pro, mishaps still happen. Selena Gomez attended the SAG awards in 2022 wearing this gorgeous black gown with matching black pumps. While walking the carpet, Selena’s heels broke, and she tumbled to the ground. Thankfully, a bodyguard came to her rescue. Rather than change into a different pair of shoes, the star decided to go barefoot for the rest of the night! She had this to say via Instagram the following day, “Last night was such a magical one. I couldn’t keep my heels on but I did manage to take a couple selfies.”

Gotta Show Off Those Spanx

It’s impossible to say whether Jennifer Garner is laughing due to something hilarious Steve Carell is whispering in her ear or if it’s an embarrassment response. Either way, Jennifer Garner had quite the outfit mishap when the front of her dress flipped up and revealed her Spanx to the entire crowd of reporters! How Jennifer managed to keep her composure is beyond us! Perhaps this isn’t the star’s first experience with an awkward wardrobe malfunction.

Why Are All Your Clothes Falling Apart?

Mariah Carey has had to soldier through several wardrobe malfunctions while onstage, but nothing compares to this incident. While chatting with the host of Good Morning America, the star’s dress suddenly ripped down the back. The host cut to a commercial so Mariah could change. However, as the cameras began rolling again, Mariah cursed as her second dress began to rip! We have to wonder how this happens twice in a row. Did Mariah’s stylist provide her with dresses that were too small? It must have been an embarrassing moment for the star, especially since she cursed on live television.

This Model Kept Her Composure Surprisingly Well

Gigi Hadid is a true professional. She’s been featured on multiple runway fashion shows throughout her career, and she always manages to maintain a neutral appearance. While closing the Versace show, Gigi experienced every woman’s worst nightmare. The top of her gorgeous outfit slipped down, revealing her nipple to the entire audience. Amazingly, Gigi didn’t even break stride and continued her walk as if nothing was going on! This woman is a true professional, and her expression never changed.

Anything For The Fans

While most celebrities who fall victim to a nipslip are female, that doesn’t mean it never happens to our favorite male celebs too! Harry Styles is known for being generous with his time, especially for his fans. As Styles headed to a Saturday Night Live after party, he came across a fan who asked the star to pose for a picture. Styles kindly agreed, and as he posed for the picture, his button-up shirt slid open. His nipslip was caught on camera for his loving fan to remember forever. We wonder if she was pleased by this accident or if she asked the star for a retake.

He’ll Never Wear Tight Jeans Again

Lenny Kravitz is a rock and style icon. No one rocks quite like Kravitz does while onstage, but the star sometimes gives his fans more than they bargained for. Kravitz was performing in Sweden in 2014 during his World Tour when the unthinkable happened. The star went to crouch down on stage during his guitar solo and the crotch of his jeans ripped straight open. Apparently, the star was going commando that night, so everyone in the front of the audience got a full view of his privates. We can’t imagine how the star must have felt, but he didn’t appear too embarrassed. Hopefully he remembers to wear looser pants or wear underwear in the future!

This Is Why It’s Important To Get Sized

Nicki Minaj loves to wear crazy outfits while onstage, just like the one featured in this photo. Nicki wore a see-through pink skirt with graphic pants underneath and a bra top for her performance. While Nicki definitely rocked this outfit, she clearly wasn’t properly sized. As Nicki performed and danced around the stage, the top began sinking lower and lower. At one point, Nicki completely revealed her chest to the crowd. This is why it’s important for women to get professionally sized when shopping for bras and bra tops! All of this could have been avoided if she’d been wearing the proper size. Of course, maybe the star didn’t want the incident to be avoided. Only Nicki knows.

Big Booty Problems

Finding jeans that fit well is a big struggle for all the girls out there with big booties. Camila Mendes is in the big booty club and knows that struggle well. The Riverdale star went out with friends one day and experienced that heart-stopping moment all girls know. She heard the seams of her pants rip, and had her friend take this picture. Camila’s jeans ripped right across the undercurve of her butt, revealing a bit of skin and permentantly ruining these jeans. Jeans are expensive now a days, even for the rich and famous. We can only imagine how irritated Camila felt when this happened. Instead of enjoying a leisurely day with friends, she needed to try to find another pair of jeans that fit properly!

Just Casually Hulking Out

The Marvel movies have exploded in popularity in recent years, so we’re sure all our readers will understand this reference. You know that moment when Bruce Banner starts transforming into the Hulk and his clothes begin ripping? That’s what it looks like Chloe Grace Mortez was going through when this picture was taken. Chloe was signing autographs when her blazer ripped open behind her shoulder, and we have to wonder if the star was hitting the gym extra hard that month. She needs to wear a size up and give her muscles some room to breathe!

We Stan An Unbothered Queen

Saweetie looked fabulous in this matching skirt and top outfit while performing at the 2022 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. The hip-hop star was doing her thing, performing an amazing set to a cheering crowd when it happened. She bounced around one too many times and suffered a nipslip. While many celebs would be embarrassed by the incident and stumble through the rest of their set, Saweetie took it in stride. She completed her step without missing a beat and never once looked bothered by the accidental slip. Saweetie is a true professional!

Duct Tape Solves Everything

Have you ever heard that duct tape solves everything? Well, it’s apparently a life saver for wardrobe malfunctions, too! Katy Perry is known for her unique sense of style, and she never shies away from wearing skin-tight clothes. One day, while performing an impromptu rendition of “Teenage Dream” on American Idol, Katy’s bright orange jeans ripped right down the center of her butt! People on stage immediately rushed over to help, and one bright soul brought a roll of neon yellow duct tape to solve the problem. They taped up the rips in Katy’s pants and she continued her song. The audience must have loved this performance!

Always Check Your Seams!

This dress is absolutely stunning! Hailee Steinfield wore this sheer, floral floor-length gown while attending the Oscars in 2017. As she posed for pictures on the red carpet, a minor tear began to show in her bust. Apparently, the star didn’t notice this tear until much later in the evening, so all the pictures taken of her that evening show this tear. We can’t imagine how disappointed she must have been to see such a gorgeous dress ruined by such a small tear. This is why you should always check your seams for rips before getting on the red carpet!

Be Aware Of Your Dress Slits

Bella Hadid looked gorgeous while wearing this Alexandre Vauthier couture floor-length gown during a fashion show. While the dress is certainly beautiful, it’s also incredibly revealing! Bella nearly exposed her underwear while flowing down the catwalk, and narrowly managed to avoid disaster by clutching the very top of the dress’s slit together. However, Bella is a true professional, and managed to pull off holding her dress together while walking the catwalk with ease.

She Puts The Zen In Zendaya

We’ve already discussed how wearing heels should be an Olympic sport, and that’s just for your average stilettos. Zendaya showed up to the 2016 Radio Disney Music Awards wearing these giant yellow heels against the advice of her stylist. Supposedly, Zendaya’s stylist told the star these heels aren’t designed to be worn outside and are specifically for bedroom use. However, Zendaya decided to kick on these heels while walking the red carpet. Zendaya’s stylist had this to say about the incident, “Literally eight minutes into the walk to the carpet, I was holding her up because her legs were buckling.” However, Zendaya knows how to put the zen in any situation! Her stylist continued to say, “She got to the carpet — and you’d never know — she did the carpet and she walked off.” We imagine Zendaya needed to ice her feet after this, but at least she looked fabulous!
