History Main / WardrobeMalfunction

* ''LightNovel/ICouldntBecomeAHeroSoIReluctantlyDecidedToGetAJob'':

** Both times we see Airi in her armor (which is a translucent catsuit with a few [[SceneryCensor conveniently placed metal bars]]) the bar across her breasts gets broken.

* Miria experiences a Wardrobe Malfunction in ''LightNovel/{{Baccano}}'' when [[AccidentalPervert Jacuzzi]] trips and tries to grab something to hold onto -- which turns out to be the front of Miria's strapless dress, [[StrippingSnag snagging it down]] and [[MarshmallowHell shoving his head against her chest]]. And [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Miria]] doesn't even [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl care]].

* ''LightNovel/GoldenTime'': The bikini top Kouko shows off to Chinami in the latter's apartment during episode 14 falls off while she's complaining about Banri.

%%* Happen multiple times to Haruna in ''LightNovel/IsThisAZombie''.

* When Music/LilNasX performed "Montero (Call Me By Your Name)" on ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'', he was supposed to do a pole dance during the song's interlude, but he ripped his tight leather pants when he squatted down (and probably wasn't wearing underpants). After a brief OhCrap, he laughed it off and settled for a little shimmy on the pole while holding his crotch, before finishing the song. Fortunately, he had already done the "Michael Jackson Grab" several times in the performance, so he managed to keep looking natural.

* ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'':

* Invoked in ''Manga/HauntedJunction''. When the ''[[HeadTurningBeauty very]]'' sexy {{Cute Ghost Girl}}s Yamiko and Hanako get into a sport competition with lives at the stake that has sexiness as one of the requirements, Yamiko [[CombatPragmatist cheats]] by either intentionally dropping one of her uniform straps to bare her GagBoobs (manga) or by replacing a swimsuit she has to wear for the swimming contest with dissolving BodyPaint and performing SexySurfacingShot for sex appeal points (anime).

* [[MsFanservice Ukraine]] from ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'' has a [[PoppingButtons button pop off her shirt]] due to her GagBoobs. Several times.

* Downplayed in a skit in episode 3 of ''Manga/ServantXService''. [[GagBoobs Lucy]] has all hooks on her bra broken, and the tension was about how her coworkers get to resolve the issue while tiptoeing around the issue itself. Eventually, Yutaka claimed Lucy had a fever because of her blush and should "go back to rest;" the others immediately got the hint. No {{fanservice}} was even intended in the skit as she wears conservatively.

* ''WebAnimation/TheRealLegend'': The Ice Cavern scene ends when Sheik's {{Sarashi}} snaps and "his" [[GagBoobs considerable chest]] flops down.

* {{Parodied|Trope}} in ''Webcomic/{{Supermegatopia}}'', by Distraction Damsel, whose "[[MostCommonSuperpower superpower]]" is to {{distract|edByTheSexy}} bad guys with her [[GagBoobs assets]] and precisely-timed "wardrobe malfunctions".

* When Nel in ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' goes back to being her adult self, the green gown which covered her entire body as a child [[ShapeshiftingExcludesClothing doesn't fit as well anymore]] and the gown gets torn into a skirt and a top, revealing only her [[BareYourMidriff midriff]] and {{Underboobs}}.

-->'''Sigourney:''' Do you think men are gonna [[ADateWithRosiePalms masturbate]] to this? Do you think women will?

* The {{Trope Namer|s}} is the infamous incident when Music/JustinTimberlake "inadvertently"[[note]]they later confessed to planning the whole thing[[/note]] exposed Music/JanetJackson's breast at the 2004 UsefulNotes/SuperBowl XXXVIII Halftime Show. It revealed a touch of DoubleStandard: Jackson was accused of corrupting youth with a half-second of her bare breast, but very few (if any) people complained that Timberlake caused it by ''acting out a form of sexual assault''. [[note]] Timed to the line "Gonna have you naked by the end of this song" in his song "Rock Your Body", no less.[[/note]] Additionally, Janet gets more blame than Justin due to the rumor that, although it was planned, all that would have been seen was her bra...had she agreed to ''wear'' it. What [[ValuesDissonance perplexed many observers outside the USA]] was that JJ was quite clearly wearing a nipple cover, so everything remained covered up in any case. Finally, the offending moment transpired so quickly in RealTime that many people didn't notice it until the news media replayed it over and over. Purely to show their disapproval, of course.

* A UK TV kids program from 2004 ''Ministry of Mayhem'', infamously had an incident where Holly Willoughbys' top had came down and exposed one of her breasts, not long that after she was let go from the show, due to the incident happening in a studio full of kids.

* Holly Willoughby is today best known as a sedate matronly host of breakfast and morning television for Creator/{{ITV}}. However, in an earlier incarnation as an ExcitedKidsShowHost on a SaturdayMorningKidsShow, back in TheNineties, she was invited to tender her resignation after some over-enthusiastic dancing to the resident pop group, whilst wearing a low-cut skimpy top. This enabled more ParentService than the [=ITV=] bosses were comfortable with and went on for an appreciable time before Miss Willoughby noticed things were amiss.

* ''Film/CarryOnSeries'': Nearly every film featured at least one scene where a male character either lost or split his trousers or a female character lost her skirt or top.
** ''Film/CarryOnAbroad'' has Sadie losing her bra accidentally after talking to Vic.
** Babs (Creator/BarbaraWindsor) was [[BestKnownForTheFanservice made famous by one of these]] in ''Film/CarryOnCamping'', as a boarding school girl doing aerobics. Her bra not only fell off but flew across the field, hitting Mr. Soaper in the face. Her classmates around her roar with laughter and she is dragged away by Miss Haggerd.
** ''Film/CarryOnCruising'': Binn and Marjoribanks split their tight trousers when they bend over in front of the Captain. They hobble out of the room in embarrassment with a shared matador cloth wrapped around their waists.
** ''Film/CarryOnSpying'': This happens to Charlie when he tries to stop the enemy on the train journey back to the airport. It works though — it does stall them for a long enough time to get Desmond two carriages down.

* ''Anime/BladeAndSoul'': Both Karen and Dan suffer this in episode 13 as a RunningGag. Karen's SeashellBra comes undone while she's fighting some hostile [[FishPeople fish-men]] who suddenly start [[IHaveBoobsYouMustObey worshipping her]] as [[GodGuise their goddess]] after witnessing her [[BuxomIsBetter rather ample bosom]]. Later, Dan's {{Sarashi}} unwraps in front of the CatFolk she's fighting, and they react in the same manner.

* ''Manga/GabrielDropOut'': Raphiel has [[BuxomIsBetter the largest chest of the girls]] and is also [[BoobsOfSteel the most athletic]], but she ends up being held back by them in the episode where they take the fitness test since the bra she was wearing that day was too tight and she was afraid to move too much and causing it the hooks to snap, which they eventually do during the running test, causing a lot of bouncing.

* At the prefectural swimming tournament in episode 8 of ''Manga/KenkoZenrakeiSuieibuUmisho'', Momoko gets coerced into making a [[TheBet bet]] with Nanjou, the other team's captain, that the loser of the 100-meter freestyle has to have a "nip slip" [[HumiliatingWager in front of the crowd]]. Momoko wins, and while she's [[UnsportsmanlikeGloating rubbing it in]], [[LaserGuidedKarma the crotch of her swimsuit snaps]]. While Momoko has a NakedFreakOut, [[AttentionWhore Nanjou gets jealous]] and pulls her own swimsuit down to [[BuxomIsBetter show off]], [[InnocentFanserviceGirl Amuro]] offers to strip as well, and [[ShamelessFanserviceGuy Captain Ikariya]] apparently already has, [[NakedPeopleAreFunny again]]. In the next chapter/episode, Momoko confiscates the pictures that Takeda took that day... and [[HumiliationConga gives them to the school newspaper]].

* ''Manga/TomoChanIsAGirl'': Tomo is [[BuxomIsBetter rather stacked]] and her bust has to [[SuppressedMammaries be binded]] for [[AttractiveBentGender her role as The Prince]] in the school play. Apparently it wasn't enough as they end up busting out of said bindings.

* ''Fanfic/ThingsInvolvingShipgirlsThatAreNoLongerAllowed'': Musashi got her {{Sarashi}} loosened during a battle. She [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl isn't bothered by it]], and keeps on [[FullFrontalAssault fighting while topless]] but quickly notices that the sight of her [[BuxomIsBetter massive]] "[[UnusualEuphemism fuel tanks]]" made all the Abyssals present (and Kumano) get a NoseBleed and collapse. Even [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer Sakawa]] gets [[DistractedByTheSexy distracted]] by them.

** Touma accidentally disrobes Index at the beginning by touching her magically-generated clothes with his [[AntiMagic Imagine Breaker]]. Index had actually told him to do it, not believing him when told about his ability, but neither of them expected her [[TheNudifier clothes would disintegrate]].

* ''Manga/GabrielDropOut'': Raphiel has [[BuxomIsBetter the largest chest of the girls]] and is also [[BoobsOfSteel the most athletic]], but she ends up being held back by them in the episode where they take the fitness test since the bra she was wearing that day was too tight and she was afraid to move too much and causing it the hooks to snap, which they eventually do during the running test, causing a lot of {{Gainaxing}}.

* In an episode of ''Series/TheBrittasEmpire'', the flaky Helen Brittas (Pippa Heywood) has to run across the leisure center reception area in a dressing gown. It very briefly flaps open as she runs and reveals that she is completely naked underneath. This was not intended and as the wardrobe malfunction only lasts for less than a second and was recorded before freeze-frame technology became standard on video players, it was allowed to stand on the released version. It does appear to have been edited out of later released versions, however.

* ''Wiki/SCPFoundation'': [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1755 SCP-1755]], is a Keter-class SCP that threatens the very existence of the global cotton crop, resulted when two college guys tried to create a device that made women's clothes fall off.

* ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'' has three nip-slips during the scenes at Jabba's palace: one involving Oola's breast briefly swinging clear of her costume while she fights with Jabba, one involving Leia's metal bikini, and a third with Lyn Me's {{sideboob}} showing slightly more skin than intended. All were unintentional bloopers; the first two were edited out in the Special Editions but can still be seen with the Still/Step feature on a CAV Laserdisc version of the theatrical cut.

* ''Webcomic/EerieCuties'': Deliberately invoked by naughty [[HornyDevils succubus Chloe]] as bait for Blair. [[https://pixietrixcomix.com/eerie-cuties/2012-03-19 "Oopsie! wardrobe malfunction!"]]

* ''Film/HomeAlone3'': The female robber, Alice Ribbons bends over to pick up a hat ripping open her pants to expose her red underwear. Let it be noted she's on a mission to steal bomb codes when this happens.

** [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]] during Miss Kitty's infamous flashing at the ''Wrestling/ArmageddonWrestling 1999'' PPV. Wrestling/StacyCarter flashing the crowd was intentional - but it going out live wasn't. The plan was for Wrestling/SgtSlaughter to immediately run in and cover her with a ModestyTowel when she removed her bra, and the camera behind her was supposed to be live, creating a ToplessnessFromTheBack shot where only a few people in the crowd would see anything. Slaughter was late coming in with his cue, and the wrong camera went out live - resulting in her unknowingly flashing her breasts live on TV, making it the first instance of nudity on WWE's national programming.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'': Mallory hires a black Jewish man to fulfill minority hiring requirements, and Archer confronts him in the locker room, with both wearing {{Modesty Towel}}s. When they end up nearly fighting, both towels fall off.

** One instance borders on ClothingDamage, where Rio and her {{Childhood Friend|s}} Rina are pitted battle of skeet shoot where they shoot coins. A miss by the shooter (when it's her turn) results in her (already skimpy clothing) getting undone piece by piece (in fact the first one results in an AbsoluteCleavage).

* At the 2014 [[UsefulNotes/OlympicGames Winter Olympics]] in Sochi, Russia, speed skater Olga Graf, after setting a personal best time in the 3000 meters, [[AbsoluteCleavage unzipped her suit to the navel]] to help with cooling off. But she apparently forgot she wasn't wearing a bra, and she zipped back up as soon as she realized.

* In the first chapter of the manga ''Manga/IdolPretender'', an idol contest is interrupted by some KnifeNut, angry that his {{Gonk}} daughter hasn't made it past the pre-audition screening. When the creep takes {{Love Interest|s}} Yuika hostage, GenderBender Chinami snaps and sends him flying with a mighty kick. Unfortunately, they were at the swimsuit competition phase, and Chinami's string-bikini bottom unties and flutters away as a result. He/She still wins a special prize nonetheless.

* ''Series/TheMuppets'': Parodied on "[[Recap/TheMuppetsS1E12ATailOfTwoPiggies A Tail of Two Piggies]]" when Miss Piggy's on the Red Carpet wearing a dress with a very low plunging backline and her [[FurryReminder curly tail]] slips out. Seems that in the Muppet universe, pigs' tails are taboo. Lamenting that she has to hide her piggy-ness, she's inspired to create [[EngineeredHashtag [=#UnveilTheTail=]]] in order to empower other pigs to proudly show their tails.
