THERE’S nothing worse than a wardrobe mishap, especially if you’re in the public eye – even more so if you’re on stage in front of a live audience. Sadly for Katherine Heigl, fate struck a cruel blow as she was handed the Female Star Of The Year Award at the ShoWest convention held in Las Vegas. The actress, who was honoured for her work on films including 27 Dresses and The Ugly Truth, faced an embarrassing situation when one of the straps broke on her stunning red dress right in the middle of her acceptance speech.
With one side of her chest close to being completely exposed Miss Heigl floundered and had difficulty continuing her speech. That was until host Billy Bush stepped in and saved the day, holding her strap in place and giving the actress the chance to say a few words without worry of showing too much flesh. After receiving her award, she went backstage and found a pin to secure the strap before heading to the photographers’ enclosure to show off her new award.
