Bella Hadid nearly suffered an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction on the catwalk

We've all been there - that nervy feeling when you're wearing a wrap dress that you might expose a little more than you wanted.

So while Bella Hadid's turn on the Alexander Vauthier couture catwalk isn't an experience many of us can relate to, her wardrobe struggle is. The model wore a floor-length bejewelled gown with a plunging neckline and a deep split. It looked sensational, but the cut of the gown meant that Hadid spent the duration of the catwalk grappling with the top of the split so that she wouldn't flash the front row (and indeed anyone looking at pictures of the show in future).

Fortunately, she managed not to expose herself and clearly bore no ill feelings to the designer, sharing an Instagram picture of herself in the dress.
