The Biggest Celebrity Wardrobe Malfunctions of All Time

Wardrobe malfunctions come with the territory—that is, when "the territory" means wearing gowns with gravity-defying necklines, thigh-high slits, mile-long trains, etc. As my grandmother once said, "Nip slips...can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em." And even when these celebs' bold looks don't go as planned, they handle the faux pas with a knowing giggle. From red carpet fiascos to runway triumphs, here's a look at some of the most iconic (and cringe-worthy) celebrity wardrobe malfunctions.

Jennifer Lawrence

Almost a decade later after the 2013 Academy Awards, this infamous fall still never gets old. As Jennifer Lawrence was walking to the stage to receive the Oscar for Best Actress, her haute couture gown proved to be a lot trickier to walk in than she expected.

Kim Kardashian

After making it through the Met Gala 2023 with no issues, Kim Kardashian's Schiaparelli gown draped in pearls didn't make it back to the hotel. As the mogul was exiting her car after the night's festivities, a few strings of the garment came undone spilling pearls all over the street.

Miley Cyrus

She can't be tamed...and neither can her top. During her 2022 New Year's Eve special, Miley's metal mesh top snapped causing her to basically go topless on live television as she sang "Party in the USA". Luckily, Miley's a pro and made a quick wardrobe change before returning back to the stage. She can even joke about it years later.

Chrissy Teigen

Chrissy Teigen attended the 2016 American Music Awards in a daring black dress with two insanely high slits. Combine cameras flashing everywhere with a gentle breeze, and the new mom was giving more than just leg.

Gigi Hadid

This just in: Bare feet are in and heels are out. As the model was walking the Marc Jacobs show during New York Fashion Week, her shoe broke and like a true professional, Gigi was the epitome of "the show must go on" as she continued strutting on her tippy toes.

Bella Hadid

Like her sister, Gigi, Bella's had a few malfunctions here and there. It's bound to happen in the fashion industry, but this time around, the model was trying her best to avoid a nip slip at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival. Despite trying to keep covered, the model's crazy high slit revealed more than what Bella intended to flaunt.

Tara Reid

The '90s actress had an infamous malfunction that's so NSFW that we can only show the moments before. While at Diddy's birthday bash in 2004, the American Pie actress' strap slipped for a full 10 seconds before someone assisted in covering her chest back up.

Harry Styles

Harry gave an unforgettable and viral performance while onstage in Inglewood, CA during his U.S. tour. With a packed arena, Harry was performing "Music for a Sushi Restaurant" when he dropped to his knees and ripped a giant hole in his leather pants that left front row fans with an eyeful.

Beyoncé

Even the Queen Bee is no match to a quick gust of wind and a flowy dress. After this Good Morning America performance in 2006, we can only imagine all the work that Beyonce has put into making sure this literally never happened again.
