Katherine Heigl’s wardrobe mishap in front of a live audience.
The Ugly Truth star was at Show West to receive the award for Female Star of the Year when fate dealt the rom-com darling a near devastating blow.
In the middle of her acceptance speech, one of the straps on her red stunner snapped, threatening to bare Katherine’s left breast.
Fumbling with closure in an attempt to claim modesty, Kat valiantly attempted to continue her speech but the multi-tasking proved to be too much as she was about to be undone.
Luckily, cohost Billy Bush gallantly stepped in and held the offending strap up, allowing for Katherine to finish her speech with closure.
Later in the press room Kat treated the problem with a fortuitous safety pin.
"Oh my" Bush Tweeted later. "Hosting showest awards in LV. Heigl comes up to get award, dress strap breaks… I hold her top on while she accepts!
"I fought some adolescent instincts."
