15 Celebrities Who Are Notorious Flashers
Wearing couture fashion is just one of the many highlights of being a celebrity. Walking the red carpet at high profile events like the Met Gala or any one of the dozens of award shows, posing for the cameras and adoring fans is a pretty great perk to the job. However, wearing fancy avante garde clothes can also have some major drawbacks – a lot of the time, they’re held in place by some cleverly disguised tape or precarious stitches. If there’s a strong gust of wind or you let your guard down for just a second you can end up bearing more than you ever intended.
From nip-slips to dresses not built for the elements, the beautiful celebrities you’re about to see have inadvertently become notorious flashers. For you or I, a wardrobe malfunction would leave us red-faced with embarrassment, but for these guys it’s just another day at the office. That being said, showing the world your breasts or your hoo-ha without meaning to has to be a little off-putting. How exactly can you style it out when your entire zipper snaps when you’re on stage in front of millions of people? It’s a little hard to look composed and glamorous when you’re clutching on to your dignity for dear life…
Either way, it gives us great joy to present this article to you. Let’s take a look at 15 Celebrities Who Are Notorious Flashers.
15. JENNIFER LAWRENCE
Jennifer Lawrence has long since secured a place in our hearts as an actress we can all relate to. Whether she’s tripping up the stairs to receive an award or letting it all hang out in the backseat of a car at a Hunger Games premiere, we just love her. J-Law looks pretty darn good doing just about anything, and this dress did her all the favors in front of the cameras on the red carpet. Unfortunately for her, when she let loose with singer Lorde later that evening, a sneaky paparazzi wasn’t going to let her get away it. While the photographer surely got a great payday, Lawrence hastily tried to tuck her modesty back into her dress. We just love you, Jen.
14. NICKI MINAJ
Nicki Minaj is no stranger to wardrobe malfunctions, having always struggled to keep her ample assets inside her outfit during many a performance. While she’s no stranger to it, when her dress zipper completely split at the 2014 VMA’s, the Superbass songstress struggled to compose herself. As you can see from the photographs, Minaj was on stage at the time, making the situation doubley embarrassing. We’re sure she doesn’t lose any sleep over it now, but it takes some kahunas to style it out the way the pint sized hip-hop sensation did. You trust your stylist when they say it’ll all be okay, and then this happens.
13. JOANNA KRUPA
Model Joanna Krupa is best known for her stints on Dancing with the Stars and the short-lived Real Housewives of Miami. The beautiful Polish-American star has a figure that women want and men want to hold, so when this gust of wind blew her top up when she was out walking her puppy, it wasn’t exactly hated on. Let this be a lesson to all you free-spirited stars out there, go out braless at your own risk! There’s always someone lurking with a camera, ready to invade your privacy when you least expect it. However shameful it is of the paparazzi, the press will buy it and soon, you’ll be picking up your morning paper and reading all about how you let lose.
12. MARGOT ROBBIE
Margot Robbie catapulted to prominence after playing Leo DiCaprio’s wife in the biopic, Wolf of Wall Street. Since then, the actress has gone from strength to strength, playing the iconic role of Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad. Obviously, when you’re this high profile you’re going to be going to any and every award ceremony. If it’s an event, your name is going to be on the guest list and you have to look to die for. It’s not always easy looking this good though, and a lot of the time you have to sacrifice underwear. Cars can be tricky things to navigate when you’re a celeb dressed in high fashion, and Robbie became yet another victim of the prying camera lens.
11. NINA AGDAL
25-year-old model Nina Agdal is used to bearing the flesh for photoshoots – but not to this extent. While undertaking a shoot in the water, the stunning Danish beauty showed us everything. It definitely wasn’t billed as a full frontal editorial, so it must have been pretty awkward when these pictures surfaced. The nipple is one thing, the coochie is a different story. Photographers had a field day and so did the media when this shot surfaced. Did Agdal mind? Probably not. This is a woman who made her modelling debut at age 18, moving across seas to the United States when she was still a teenager. Something tells us that she’s made of strong stuff.
10. KATE UPTON
25-year-old model and actress Kate Upton cuts a formidable figure at 6ft. She rose to prominence as the cover star for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 2011, going on to be named Rookie of the Year. Things really started taking off for the lithe beauty when she starred in Tower Heist and The Other Woman. It’s not the first time that poor Kate has been caught out by the elements. Her assets popped out on set while she was shooting a beach scene for The Other Woman. Eagle-eyed photographers weren’t going to let that slide and picked it up in a flash. It doesn’t look like Kate minds too much though, as she styles out the gust of wind above like it’s the most natural thing in the world (well, it is).
9. EVA LONGORIA
Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria learnt the hard way how important it is to wear underwear underneath a dress. While most stars commonly sacrifice the security of undergarments for that dress to look as perfect as possible, it’s a huge risk. Especially when you have to adjust your outfit. On the red carpet at Cannes in 2013, press hit the jackpot when they saw a completely uncensored side to Longoria. At these events paparazzi will try any and every angle, so is it really surprising they got this money shot? Ever the poised and elegant individual, Longoria didn’t sweat the small stuff and continued to rock the red carpet.
8. EMMA STONE
Porcelain red-headed beauty Emma Stone has come a long way since finding fame in the early 00’s. Stone has the recognition of being the highest paid actress in the world, at just 28 years old. Let that sink in. But even Stone can’t avoid the odd outfit mistake. These floor length gowns have a lot to answer for, especially when they need so much darn adjusting. Poor Stone fell victim to the lens at the 2015 Oscars, when she took an innocent moment to pull her dress out from under her feet. It may have been for a ‘split’ second, but that’s all it took. Judging by how much she gets paid (La La Land took $300 million at the Box Office, so you can only imagine her cut) she probably didn’t blink an eye. Round of applause for actually wearing undies though.
7. CARA DELEVINGNE
The above peachy posterior belongs to none other than supermodel and actress Cara Delevingne. Always one for meeting and greeting fans, Cara leaned over the barrier at the 2015 premiere of the movie Pan. Cara plays the role of mischievous mermaid in the film, looking painfully gorgeous as she does it. Exposing your skin is sort of in the job description as a model, but still – wouldn’t it be nice if we didn’t live in a world where people didn’t take the snaps and share them without your knowledge or consent? Fame is a tricky animal. It didn’t take long for photographers to sell this on to all of the media outlets possible.
6. BELLA HADID
Former model and star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Yolanda Hadid makes incredibly beautiful children. All 3 of her kids (shared with Mohammed Hadid) are in the modelling industry. 18-year-old Anwar, 22-year-old Gigi and the above pictured 20-year-old Bella have taking the world by storm. Bella stuns on the red carpet at various events, but it usually comes at a price. In 2016 Bella walked the carpet at the Cannes Gala, unfortunately her super high thigh slit slipped a little bit to expose way more than anyone expected. Earlier this year, she experienced a similar malfunction at the same event. Fire the stylist!
5. JANET JACKSON
One of the most infamous moments in television history was at the hand of pop powerhouses Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson at the 2004 Superbowl half-time show. Although her breast was only exposed to reveal her nipple shield for less than a second, the incident sparked worldwide controversy, with many blaming decreased ‘morality’ in the music industry. People speculated that this was a pre-planned publicity stunt, but both Jackson and Timberlake vehemently denied this. After all, who really wants to get their ta-ta out on live TV when there are millions of people watching? Well, most of us wouldn’t right?
4. ANNE HATHAWAY
Anne Hathaway has certainly come a long way since starring in The Princess Diaries. We know the devil wears Prada, but so does Anne. Hathaway started out as a fairly awkward looking young woman, but now she’s a full grown swan. Proving that she has phenomenal acting talent as well as an incredible signing voice (watch Les Miserables if you don’t believe us) Hathaway’s career shows no signs of slowing down. Unfortunately, it was the premiere of Les Miserables that left Anne a little red faced as she tried to exit the car to the red carpet. Grace wasn’t on her side and neither were the photographers!
3. KELLY BROOK
British model Kelly Brook is best known for her modelling and television work in the UK. In 2005 she was crowned FHM’s Sexiest Woman In The World. A title like that is pretty impressive, and judging by her voluptuous figure, it’s not hard to see how she scooped the crown. In this black dress worn at the 2014 National Television Awards (a British event to honor TV programs) viewers got a little more than they bargained for. This is a woman who makes a living from her stunning figure so we’ll never know for sure if this was a purposeful boob flashing or a genuine wardrobe malfunction. There is every possibility that Kelly just didn’t realize how badly see-through her dress would be at the first flash of a camera.
2. RIHANNA
Barbadian singer and all round badass, Rihanna scooped the CFDA award for Fashion Icon in 2014. Maybe in a touch of irony, RiRi turned up to the event wearing next to nothing, but a completely see-through crystal gown. While this definitely isn’t a malfunction or accidental, Rihanna deserves to be on this list for purposeful notorious flashing. With nothing but a pair of nude colored panties to cover what’s left of her modesty, the singer looked like the cat that got the cream when she posed in front of photographers. Since this is her line of ‘werk’ Rihanna has a confidence that most of us could only dream of. You know what they say – if you’ve got it, flaunt it!
1. TARA REID
Where did it all go wrong, Tara? From her very beginnings on American Pie way back in 1999, the girl next door quickly turned into a hot mess following battles with addiction. This infamous wardrobe malfunction happened at P Diddy’s 35th birthday party back in 2004, and went unnoticed for a painful 10 seconds. The paps took as many photos as humanely possible before a member of staff stepped in to adjust Reid’s gown. Quickly, she became infamously known for this and the apparent mis-shaped nipple from botched plastic surgery. Since then, Reid’s career has gone down the pan – unless you count her reoccurring role in the Sharknado franchise.
