Later, on The Ellen Show, Nicki explained how the wardrobe malfunction occurred. âWe didnât have a real quick change right there so it was literally my whole team standing there, holding curtains around me and it was pitch-black and I couldnât see anything and right before it was time for me to walk out, they went to zip it up and nothing. And right there, I thought I died,â she told Ellen DeGeneres. âI didnât have no underwear, no bra, because I had just taken off the âAnacondaâ outfit. So I was butt a** naked!â [17].

When Iâm older, I want to be able to look at it and be like, âI looked good!ââ
Since then, Kendall has sported countless see-through outfits, continuing to champion body positivity. In 2016, she expressed her support for the #FreetheNipple movement, writing on her app, âIâm all about freeing the nipple ⌠I just think itâs cool to show off whatâs under your shirt.â That iconic runway moment set the tone for a decade of daring, nipple-centric looks, and Kendallâs confident attitude has remained steady.

During that time, Stone faced significant personal challenges, including a brain hemorrhage, a divorce from newspaper editor Phil Bronstein, and the loss of custody of her son, Roan.

The Fast and Furious star attended the De Grisogono party braless, wearing a daring burgundy dress that struggled to keep everything in place. With her dark hair down, Michelle turned heads on the red carpet as the gownâs halterneck design and loose fit led to multiple near nip-slips. The actress, known for her roles in Lost and Avatar, showcased a hint of sideboob while flaunting her curves in the backless, thigh-high-slit dress. Despite the revealing outfit, Michelle maintained her poise, completing the look with nude peep-toe heels, dangly earrings, and a chunky ring [27].
Halsey

Her daring look seemed a nod to her role as Mermaid Barbie in the movie [29].

The pop star, dressed in a revealing black corset, thigh-high boots, a black hat, and a red boa, turned her back on the crowd during a dance routine when the mishap occurred.
