7 Celebrity Red Carpet Wardrobe Malfunctions
Sartorial slip-ups are more common than we think.
Celebrities—they're just like us. With high-slit ensembles and behind-the-scenes mishaps, it's no surprise that our favorite celebs would experience sartorial malfunctions on the red carpet. At the 2024 Oscars, Emma Stone seemingly laughed so hard at Ryan Gosling's performance that she, too, fell victim to a major wardrobe malfunction. Whether it's exposing their shapewear, popping a button, or perhaps unintentionally baring it all, we've rounded up the most memorable and relatively NSFW wardrobe malfunctions on the red carpet.
Bella Hadid
At the 2017 Cannes Film Festival, model Bella Hadid donned a satin pink and high-slit Alexandre Vauthier ensemble looking phenomenal as ever. But with high slits come high stakes as the model accidentally exposed her underwear on the red carpet.
Cameron Diaz
Cameron Diaz had her Cinderella moment at the red carpet premiere of Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle back in 2003 when Diaz's shoes broke just moments before the actress and her co-stars set foot on the red carpet. Diaz was photographed barefoot with her co-stars Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu.
Emma Watson
In 2009 during the premiere of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" in London, Emma Watson showed off her lean legs, but accidentally flashed red carpet onlookers and paparazzi alike. The Harry Potter star later laughed off the wardrobe malfunction on The Late Show With David Letterman saying “At least I was wearing underwear.”
Chrissy Teigen
In a daring Yousek Akbar piece with high slits held together by safety pins, Cravings author and model Chrissy Teigen unintentionally flashed the red carpet crowd during the 2016 American Music Awards. Teigen later joked about the incident through an Instagram post saying, “Apologies to anyone harmed mentally or physically by my hooha,” as well as crediting her laser hair removal center.
Jennifer Garner
At the Hollywood premiere of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day in 2014, the paparazzi were quick to catch Jennifer Garner's wardrobe malfunction alongside co-star Steve Carell that, thankfully, only exposed her shapewear. Garner seemed to be unaware of the mishap but still walked down the red carpet in style.
Amanda Seyfried
While Amanda Seyfried hit the red carpet of the 2023 Critics' Choice Awards, her golden Dior gown would not stay in place. The Dropout star revealed that the dress was “ripping and actually breaking.” While speaking with Access Hollywood, Seyfriend's sleeves were actually falling down as she joked, “I’m just going to take off my dress."
Emma Stone
While accepting the award for Actress in a Leading Role at the 2024 Oscars for her role as Bella Baxter in the fantastical Yorgos Lanthimos film, Poor Things, Stone announced to the audience before her acceptance speech, “my dress is broken—-I think it happened during ‘I’m Just Ken’ pointing at the ripped backing of her baby blue Louis Vuitton peplum gown.
