Wardrobe mishaps happen to the best of us. Just ask Chrissy Teigen, 37, who experienced one herself at the 2023 Baby2Baby Gala over the weekend.

This past Saturday, the mother of four attended the annual event, which took place at Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood, California. While posing on the red green carpet, the Sports Illustrated model looked stunning in a black gown with a gorgeous embroidered flower design stitched across the bodice and a thigh-high slit. She paired the show-stopping ensemble with a golden Jeffrey Levinson clutch (per Entertainment Tonight).

Unfortunately at one point during the night, Teigen’s dress zipper came undone. Finding the wardrobe malfunction too funny to keep a secret, she posted a photo of the mishap on her Instagram Story. In the now-expired post, Teigen is bending down in her seat and the dress zipper is wide open. She handled the situation like a professional, captioning the photo, “Oh lol.”

Teigen was just one of the many celebs to make a special appearance at the gala event, which included other Hollywood names like Demi Lovato, Heidi Klum, Zooey Deschanel and Snoop Dogg

Teigen has never shied away from poking fun at herself or her husband on social media. Back in September, the proud mom posted photos of the outfits she and her hubby, John Legend, wore to Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour

Teigen trolled her man in the caption, writing, “Once in a lifetime artist!!!! (@beyonce, not john).” And in the comments section, Legend quickly fired back, and wrote, “Rude. Also true.”

Nice job handling this fashion mishap in the most Chrissy way possible.
