The Hadid sisters 

Let’s start with the elder Hadid first!! One of the best supermodels of the current crop that the world has seen – Gigi Hadid has had her share of infamous events multiple times. However – the hair flip girl has always maintained her calm every time an untoward incident has happened.

So, whether it was the 2016 Milan Fashion Week, where her black plunging neckline betrayed her, or the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in the same year, where her bra strap snapped off – she has handled every of these celebrity wardrobe malfunctions with calm! Topping everything was the New York Fashion Week back in 2019, where her heels simply broke off – but she managed the show tiptoeing. What a good pedicure can do!!

Coming to the other Hadid – well, she’s another story! Remember the 2017 Cannes Film Festival – where her sweetheart dress covered all but her innerwear? There’s more – another catwalk show by Alexandre Vauthier almost exposed her underwear completely – but like previous times, she managed to make sure that nothing came out of it apart from a couple of shots.

How did the term originate?

As you have read up on the worst celebrity wardrobe malfunctions that happened in the last couple of years, how about going a little back? When you go back to the 80s or the 90s, you will find that the term wardrobe malfunction did not exist; forget being used so often. So, how did it become this colloquial? The response is – post the 2004 Nipplegate controversy.

If you check out any of the entertainment tabloids of 2004 – you will find that Justin Timberlake first used the term to describe the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime incident when he snapped a part of Janet Jackson’s dress for a flash lasting about half a second. However – the incident was televised to a viewership amounting to 144 million!! Though Timberlake apologized, he did make the term infamous.

Also, if you plan to go all back into the 1950s, you will find the infamous Sophia Loren controversy at the Paramount Pictures dinner party, which again received unwanted international attention.

You better be careful!!

It is no secret that when it comes to celebrities, as individuals, we tend to disregard them as our tribe completely. They are bound to be unreal ‘ice doll-like creatures’ who cannot have a hair out of place. Imagine their privacy flashed on Page 3 of the next day’s newspaper or that moment trending online under the title of ‘celebrity wardrobe malfunctions’!! Well – most of them are either used to this kind of news or deal with them accordingly – but you better pin up your clothes well before you step out. You might not be fodder for news, but it could be an embarrassing moment for you. So, be careful.
