Oscars wardrobe malfunctions – Jennifer Lawrence tumble, nip slips and racy crotch flash

The Oscars often seem like a hotbed of steamy wardrobe mishaps – from racy nip slips to A-listers flashing their crotches on camera.

Of course, there have been the wilder moments, such as Hunger Games alum Jennifer Lawrence taking a tumble as she stepped up to collect her award.

But the star-studded ceremony is home to quieter malfunctions too, with stars confessing they have torn their frocks or worn a dress several sizes too small.

With stars like Austin Butler, Brendan Fraser, Cate Blanchett and Michelle Williams all up for gongs this year, we could soon be seeing some more eye-catching malfunctions.

And in anticipation, Daily Star is taking a look at the biggest wardrobe malfunctions in Oscars history.

Jennifer Lawrence’s tumble

In 2013, Hunger Games alum Jennifer Lawrence stepped up on stage to accept the gong for Best Actress after finding fame in Silver Linings Playbook.

The actress – who was just 22 at the time – tripped on her billowing cream Dior dress as she clambered up on stage, before being helped by Bradley Cooper and Hugh Jackman.

She told the audience at the time: “You guys are only standing up because I fell and you feel bad. That was embarrassing.”

It came just a month after Jennifer tore her £10,000 Christian Dior gown at the SAG Awards by catching it on a chair.

Emma Stone’s crotch flash

In 2015, La La Land star Emma Stone was left red-faced as she accidentally exposed her underwear in a dress with a thigh-high split.

The actress, who had received a nomination for Best Actress in a Supporting Role, dazzled in a yellow-green sparkling gown which trailed along the red carpet as she strutted her stuff.

But as Emma reached down to adjust the split, she left paps with a lot more than they bargained for – and a glimpse of her nude undies.

Thankfully she quickly recovered from the incident – and later snuggled with Friends star Jennifer Aniston.

Selma Blair’s nip slip

Audiences at the 2019 Oscars got more than they expected when stunner Selma Blair suffered an X-rated wardrobe malfunction when her glam frock fell a little too low over her chest.

As Selma lifted her arms up for a stunning snap, her strapless gown slipped down just a little too much, exposing her nipple to the waiting cameras.

She wowed in a sheer pink and green cape which skimmed the floor, holding a black cane in one hand shortly after disclosing her multiple sclerosis diagnosis.

The condition can affect the brain and/or spinal cord, causing a wide range of potential symptoms, including problems with vision, arm or leg movement, sensation or balance.

Katy Perry’s split gown

In 2017, Katy Perry dazzled in a glittering bronze gown split into thick fringes that left her toned thighs on display.

But the gown – which split into shredded material from head to toe – left Katy rather more exposed than she first expected when she leant on a platform while waiting for a Vanity Fair post-Oscar party.

From behind, the top of the gown had separated from the bottom, leaving Katy’s peachy derrière on display with a few skimpy scraps of fabric.

Charlize Theron’s ‘butt hanging out’

Way back in 2000, Charlize Theron scooped an Oscars nomination for her flick The Cider House Rules.

But the star realised her rear had spilled free from her gown after feeling a “cool breeze coming up [her] tush”.

She told Bazaar in 2022: “When I stood up for the first standing ovation, I felt this kind of cool breeze coming up my tush. And I realised my whole butt was hanging out.”

Thankfully Julianne Moore was on hand with a safety pin ready to help – after being “on all fours” looking for something to fix the dress with.

Charlize added: “I still have the dress with the safety pin in it!”

Oprah Winfrey’s tight dress

After having her dress altered for the 1986 Oscars – where she represented The Color Purple – Oprah Winfrey was left red-faced after a fitting gone wrong.

She told Jimmy Kimmel in 2012: “I had used Dolly Parton’s dressmaker. And he’d come over [for] some fitting earlier in the day and then said, ‘I need to take it back’.

“When he brought it back, I didn’t try it on. So when I went to put it on half an hour before going to the Oscars, it didn’t fit.

“I couldn’t get it up over my hips. So my hairdresser… had to lay me on the floor and push my butt down and zip and so I rode to the Oscars, really no exaggeration, planked in the back of a limousine.”

The chat show host added that she had to sit rigid in her chair the entire time as she couldn’t move enough in the dress.

She went on: “I had this really heavy beaded collar, so when I sat back, the collar choked me, so I sat the whole night holding on to the collar. And I was praying for someone else to win… ‘Cause I knew I couldn’t get out of the chair.”

Venus Williams’ nip slip

Though the 2022 Oscars were dominated by Will Smith slapping host Chris Rock across the face, enough eyes were on tennis superstar Venus Williams when she suffered an embarrassing nip slip.

Will Smith gave a nod to tennis playing sisters Venus and Serena when accepting his Best Actor gong for King Richard, a biopic of their lives.

But Venus was left having to cover her chest when her gaping white gown spread apart to reveal her entire boob.

The plunging Elie Saab dress left very little to the imagination, providing a hefty dose of side-boob as Twitter went wild for the racy snaps.
