Ach so! This nipple of Heidi Klum that almost appeared on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival

On the networks, the phenomenon has offered itself a name: "wardrobe malfunction", or "wardrobe dysfunction", in French. It refers to those cases where a person inadvertently exposes an intimate part of his anatomy as a result of the slipping of his clothing. Heidi Klum was about to experience it this Wednesday evening at the Cannes Film Festival. Before climbing the steps of the film The Passion of Dodin Bouffant, by Tran Anh Hung, the German supermodel stops on the red carpet. As the exercise goes, she poses for photographers, in a dress by Lebanese designer Zuhair Murad with a bold neckline. And risky.

Flashy yellow, split to the groin and wide open on the plexus, Heidi Klum's dress takes on its full dimension when she throws her arms into the air. Each of its huge sleeves turns into a wing, occupying all the space around the mannequin. The downside is that you have to start again several times, to make sure that the photographers reach the right shot. However, the repeated movements gradually moved the upper part of the dress, which already covered only half of her neckline, revealing the beginning of a nipple. Heidi Klum narrowly avoided the clothing accident in the middle of the Cannes Film Festival. On the same red carpet, others were not so lucky.

Cover what I can't see

Heidi Klum is indeed not the only one to have revealed a little more than expected, carried away by the euphoria of Cannes. In 2005, Sophie Marceau also let a breast slip out. Ironically, it was on the red carpet of Atom Egoyan's film The Naked Truth. In 2014, under her transparent Jean Paul Gaultier dress, Nabilla's bra categorically refused to stay in place. With Patricia Contreras, Sarah Marshall, Elsa Zylberstein... The nipples gave themselves chance appearances on the festival's red carpet. Failing to join this list, Heidi Klum flirts with the limits and still manages to capture all eyes.
