Charli XCX suffered a wardrobe malfunction while presenting the ARIA Music Awards last week. The singer made a virtual appearance at the event to present the Best Pop Release award to Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber for their hit single, Stay.
Following the announcement, the singer raised her arm to wave and congratulate the artists for their win. Unfortunately, her dress slipped off her shoulder after she dropped her arm to her side.
However, the Boom Clap hitmaker took the incident sportingly and laughed off at the malfunction along with a friend behind the camera. The moment was carefully edited out of the awards show, so viewers did not see the mishap during the livestream.
It was later posted by Charli XCX on her Instagram as part of extended outtake footage. The clip went viral immediately upon release and left fans of the musician amused. The Boys singer faced a similar situation during a 2018 gig in Arizona.
