It seems Rihanna's outlandish style got the b(r)e(a)st of her!!! In what seems like a sudden slip, her glamorous outfit almost gave her rack away to the camera-flashing paparazzi. Lucky for her, she caught it on time unlike Ms. Reid and managed to cover her precious twosome!!

Toni Braxton gave herself and everyone else watching quite the scare when her lightweight dress flew up during her performance with Il Divo at the opening of the Adidas World of Football in Berlin, Germany in 2006. I for one had quite a laugh looking at the picture!!!

While usually its the menfolk who forget to zip up, Fergie decided to change things up for a bit, although unintentionally. Seen here, Fergie performs at a live concert, unaware that her zip has not been zipped up. Is ignorance really bliss?

19. Lindsay Lohan

Adding to her list of malfunctions and dysfunctions is Lindsay,with her little dress getting a bit too little. Was she genuinely unaware of this dress's risks or was Ms. Notoriety in the mood for some peek-a-boo? I guess we will never know.
18. Jennifer Hawkins

This one MADE my day!!! Miss Universe 2004 Jennifer Hawkins lost her skirt while strutting her stuff on the catwalk. Its absolutely hilarious as to how she sashays down the ramop and then the skirt just drops off her while she's on her way. Thank god for color-coordinated lingerie and the underside of her heels if nothing.
17. Kelly Brook

Wardrobe malfunctions spare nobody, not even the most beautiful. Kelly is proof. The mischievous London wind decided to make her flimsy dress stick to her front and rear, and how awkwardly at that!!
16. Susan Boyle

Pulling off another Fergie was Susan Boyle, snapped with her fly down while leaving her home. My hunch is either she forgot to perform a full body check in the mirror before she left the house, or that she was in a rush while exiting the loo!!
15. Naomi Campbell

Supermodels have super nip slips, as proved by Naomi Campbell. The british supermodel went all starry to an event and ended up showing the onlookers a few stars as well with a display of her rack. Looks like being being barely clothed finally got to her!!

12. Candice Bergen

So a camel toe sighting is reeallyyyy not cool. My advice to Candice? Please invest in a pair of more flattering pants!!!
11. Katherine Heigl

Accepting an award and delivering a line of gratitude is all that Katherine was looking forward to. What she was not expecting was her dress about to come undone and causing her to be a flasher!! Good for her she caught her nip from being bared in the nick of time!!
10. Sophie Marceau

Seen here battling a notorious blouse is Sophie. However, the damage was done, she ended up joining the ranks of the "nip flashers"!
Sophie, known for her timeless elegance and poise, faced an unexpected fashion blip during a red carpet event. Despite the quick fix that followed, the cameras had already immortalized the moment, and it spread like wildfire across the internet. This incident added her to the ever-growing list of celebrities who've experienced similar wardrobe snafus. As they say, c'est la vie in the world of glitz and glamour, where even the chicest stars have their occasional sartorial slip-ups.

Clearly "spilling over" amidst her excessive fashion is Mrs. Beckham! Eeek!!!!

Blake and her never ending love affair with plunging necklines and all those sharp cut dresses. Ah, if only she also realised the perils of nip slips that come along with it. Seen here? Blake almost on the verge of flashing us her right nip!
03. Jessica Simpson
Image source: assets.nydailynews.com
Looks like Ms. Simpson chose to give America a GREAT morning while performing on "Good Morning America" in 2008!!
Certainly. Her outfit seemed perfect for a pop star—glamorous and chic—but even stars can't always predict how their garments will behave live on air. As Jessica graced the stage, her ensemble decided to play a mischievous trick, leaving her slightly more exposed than intended. Nevertheless, the seasoned performer kept her poise. With a quick adjustment and her signature smile, she shrugged off the hiccup effortlessly, reminding us all why she's as much a pro at live performances as she is a fashion icon. Her fans rallied support, admiring her grace under the unexpected wardrobe snafu.
02. Janet Jackson
Image source: img.metro.co.uk
This one was super famous! Back in 2004, 90 million Super Bowl viewers watched as Justin Timberlake sang 'Gonna have you naked by the end of this song' and then ripped off Janet Jackson's bustier to expose half her assets. (Granted it was covered by black tape). I mean, Justin sure did attempt to add some truth element to his song eh?
The incident, infamously coined as the Nipplegate, turned into a major controversy and led to a national debate on decency in broadcasting. Janet Jackson's career took a hit as she faced criticism and a blacklist on certain platforms, while Timberlake came out relatively unscathed, raising eyebrows about gender inequality. The wardrobe malfunction was a watershed moment that changed the rules for live TV broadcasts, instituting a delay to prevent similar mishaps. The event remains one of the most talked-about Super Bowl performances in history, ensuring that this mishap was immortalized in pop culture lore.
01. Tara Reid

Another notorious wardrobe malfunction is the infamous Tara Reid nip slip. Post her breast-enhancement adventure, Ms Reid attended an event gladly unaware that her strap had slipped off, exposing her rack to the paparazzi. After what seemed like an eternity, Tara just stood there smiling and posing until a kind samaritan pointed out the over-exposure to her. Phew!
Looking at these 25 women, I sure learnt a lot about avoiding major wardrobe mishaps and saving myself a lot of embarrassment. What about you? Are there any more of our celebs who could have made it to this list? I'm waiting to hear from ya!
