Despite more than thirty years of career treading the catwalks, the German supermodel came close to a dress accident, this May 24, in full climb of the steps.

On the networks, the phenomenon has given itself a name: “wardrobe malfunction», or “wardrobe malfunction”, in French. It designates those cases where a person accidentally exposes an intimate part of his anatomy following the slipping of his garment. Heidi Klum was about to experience it this Wednesday evening at the Cannes Film Festival. Before climbing the steps of the film The Passion of Dodin Bouffant, by Tran Anh Hung, the German top model stops on the red carpet. As required by the exercise, she poses for the photographers, in a dress by the Lebanese designer Zuhair Murad with a daring neckline. And risky.

In a flashy yellow, split to the groin and wide open on the plexus, the dress of Heidi Klum takes on its full dimension when it projects its arms in the air. Each of its huge sleeves turns into a wing, taking up all the space around the mannequin. The downside is that you have to start over several times, to make sure that the photographers get the right shot. However, the repeated movements have gradually moved the upper part of the dress, which already covered only half of her neckline, revealing the beginning of a nipple. Heidi Klum will narrowly avoid the dress accident, in the middle of the Cannes Film Festival. On the same red carpet, others were not so lucky.

Cover what I can’t see

Heidi Klum is indeed not the only one to have revealed a little more than expected, carried away by the euphoria of Cannes. In 2005, Sophie Marceau also let out, in spite of herself, a breast. Ironically, it was on the red carpet of Atom Egoyan’s film The Naked Truth. In 2014, under her transparent Jean Paul Gaultier dress, Nabilla’s bra categorically refused to stay in place. With Patricia Contreras, Sarah Marshall, Elsa Zylberstein… The nipples offered themselves fortuitous appearances on the red carpet of the festival. Failing to join this list, Heidi Klum flirts with the limits and still manages to capture all eyes.
