You can put hours of preparation into an outfit, but just a split-second wardrobe malfunction can ruin your red carpet look.
Unfortunately, that's the lesson that Emma Stone learned at the 2015 Oscars.
The actress – who received a nomination for Best Actress In A Supporting Role – dazzled as she arrived at the ceremony in a pale green jewelled gown.
The Birdman star accidentally exposed her undies – as is the perils of wearing an ensemble with a thigh-high split.
Recovering from the unlucky incident quickly, Emma stunned with a classic but low-key make-up look and retro styled hair.
The 26-year-old shared a rather excited embrace with Friends icon Jennifer Aniston, who looked gorgeous in a strapless pearlescent ensemble.
Both Hollywood stars looked thrilled to see one another and ran forwards for quite a steamy hug.
Er, control yourselves ladies – don't forget where you are…
