Charli XCX laughs off wardrobe malfunction while presenting award
Leave it to Charli XCX to take a nip slip in stride.
The British “Boom Clap” hitmaker, 29, suffered a major wardrobe malfunction while virtually presenting the award for Best Pop Release during Wednesday’s 2021 Aria Awards — and while the boob-baring moment was edited out of the stream, she couldn’t resist sharing the unedited footage on Instagram over the weekend.
“And the Aria goes to The Kid LAROI and Justin Bieber for ‘Stay.’ Well done, congratulations,” Charli said in the clip before waving enthusiastically at the camera.
The spaghetti strap on her slinky LBD then slipped off her shoulder, exposing her entire left breast and sending the pop star into fits of laughter.
“Janet Jackson is shaking,” one fan commented on Charli’s post, while another wrote, “thanks for posting this when you really didn’t have to.”
Joked a third, “the girlies wanted to congratulate them too.”
It’s not the first time Charli’s poked fun at her NSFW fashion fumbles; while opening for Taylor Swift’s Reputation tour in Arizona back in 2018, the “Boys” singer popped out of her pink crop top mid-performance.
“Omg my boob fell out song 1 can you believe it!!!!” Charli wrote on her Instagram Story at the time. “I think i saved it but I’m so so sorry if I flashed anyone I really didn’t mean to I promise!!!!”
The Grammy nominee’s got a busy few months ahead; she’s set to perform on “SNL” in December, and is gearing up for the release of her new album, “Crash,” in March, which will be accompanied by a world tour.
Perhaps Charli will invest in some double-sided tape before hitting the road.
