With risqué outfits becoming the red carpet’s new normal, it’s little wonder we’re seeing more wardrobe malfunctions than ever before.

But when a star’s seemingly innocent outfit decides to reveal its wearer’s assets, you can’t help but feel mortified for the person involved.

On Sunday night actress Lake Bell was victimised by a seriously unfortunate wardrobe malfunction when the sophisticated looking gown she was wearing to the Creative Arts Emmy Awards ceremony in LA decided to expose her to the event’s paparazzi.

As reported by the Mail Online, the 37-year-old Secret Life of Pets star was left looking naked from the waist down when the beaded fringing which covered her floor-length gown decided to swing upwards as she spun around.

While Lake did have underwear on (thank God), she did momentarily look like she’d gone commando as the thong she had on almost perfectly matched her skin tone.

Talk about a close call!
