Too small shoes, a strong gust of wind, a dress that is more transparent than expected… The ceremony is far from being a long calm river. Back to this unforgettable fiasco.
Red carpets are a real style showcase. In the spotlight, stars compete with elegance and audacity. But when it comes to moving under the eyes of the cameras on fabrics that are too heavy, too light, too sheer, haute couture begins to rhyme with high ventilation. When it comes to wardrobe mishaps that everyone faces one day, not everyone is in the same boat; it’s easier to recover from an open fly or hangover falling in public when we’re not being immortalized by photographers around the world. From Sophie Marceau to Jennifer Lawrence to Brad Pitt, take a look back at these shots that capture our little moments of solitude.

First there was… the nipple gate
Term: wardrobe malfunction which can be translated as “wardrobe malfunction” is often used in the Anglo-Saxon press; it refers to a clothing malfunction that results in the unintentional exposure of a part of the body one would prefer to cover. The neologism was born only in 2004, after an accident happened, live, in front of a hundred million viewers. On the night of the Super Bowl final, Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake perform together on stage. At the end of the song, the singer will tear off a part of her partner’s bust, which should reveal her bra. But the former member of the boy band NSYNC does not measure his strength and tears off two layers of clothing, revealing Janet Jackson’s breast. The sequence creates a contradiction.deaf gate“. the term of wardrobe malfunction was born a few days later in the mouth of Justin Timberlake, explaining to the media the reasons for the incident.
However, if the word today is left to qualify small failures of clothing, the nipple gate has had other consequences that may seem disproportionate. This event was the reason why the Oscars decided to broadcast the ceremony 5 minutes late to combat any live threats. A practice which the ABC later generalized for all its programs of this type.
For Janet Jackson, who that night becomes the most searched name on the Internet in a day, the consequences are more complicated. Excluded from the Grammy Awards, which was supposed to be a no-brainer, she saw her popularity plummet as Justin Timberlake continued his rise. A double standard that he finally addresses in 2021, apologizing and admitting that he benefited from a system that “tolerates homophobia and racism.” Proof that a clothing accident is not always so trivial.
