In 2014, Fox News anchor Kimberly Guilfoyle suffered a wardrobe malfunction while throwing a football in a short red dress. Guilfoyle is known for her revealing outfits every day on the show. The network has been rumored to require women to wear dresses.
Possibly this rule is what Guilfoyle referred to in 2016 when she saw a photo of Fox’s Iowa set where an upcoming show would take place. “Oh my God, well it looks like I’ll be able to wear pants, because I’m not seeing a suitable shot for me there,” she said.

She nearly lost more than just her balance at the Berlin premiere of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, however. Bending down to adjust the bottom of her Dior gown, Lawrence nearly dropped her top. She grabbed it last minute to avoid any slippage, though.

Jackson joined Timberlake onstage in 2004. As the halftime show culminated, Timberlake pulled off part of Jackson’s outfit, briefly exposing her right breast on TV for over 140 million viewers to see. Jackson’s representatives declined to comment to USA Today, while Timberlake has said little more than “sorry” since the event.
