Finally, a Wardrobe Malfunction Worth Seeing
From Janet Jackson to Tara Reid, the trouble with “wardrobe malfunction” hooplah is that the boob in the spotlight is never one most of us want to see. That is, until Leelee Sobieski took the stage at the Directors Guild of America Awards to announce the winner for daytime TV. From one amusing account of the incident:
Besides the Scorsese win, the other most buzzed-about moment of the night was about presenter LeeLee Sobieski who was presenting the daytime television directorial prize. The statuesque beauty walked out wearing a very revealing dress that would make Carmen Electra look like a nun. As she began her presentation, the dress shifted and half of her breast was exposed. She was completely unaware and kept on with her presentation which was filled with seductive lines about each soaps plotline. She went on and on and on. The audience was spellbound. When the ballroom was darkened to show clips of the nominees, Sobieski remained on the stage to prepare to announce the winner. No one told her of her waredrobe malfunction or ran out with some double-stick tape to rescue her. She announed the winner, breast nipple still exposed and was asked to read the absent winner’s acceptance speech. She did. It was a long one. She remained projected on all of the big screens in the ballroom. It was like we were all in grade school with the room buzzing and people giggling.
Host Carl Reiner, who would remark about all that had gone on, left that one alone. But Maria Bello took the stage in a red dress with a plunging neckline and said to the audience: “Please, dear God someone tell me if my boob falls out. Please, be brave.” She then jokingly covered her breasts with both hands for a second before reading the nominations.
But the LeeLee fin was not over. Presenter Steve Martin took the stage and said: “Sorry I was a little late. I was backstage trying to convince LeeLee Sobieski that the best way to remove double-sided tape is with saliva.”
BIG laugh followed.
I will say this: Sobieski did not let it get her down. After the show, she was strolling around the ballroom lobby looking very lovely (malfunctioned fixed), posed for pictures with fans and appeared to be in a very good mood. I personally wanted to throw a poncho over her or something.
What a night.
So far, there are no pictures of the actual malfunction floating around the web, but hopefully that’ll change in the next few days.
