She’s known constantly being the star attraction on many a red carpet, thanks to her penchant for fearlessly making risque sartorial choices.
But Rihanna appeared to shock even herself on Wednesday night, when she suffered a potentially disastrous wardrobe malfunction on the red carpet at the London premiere of her new star-studded movie Ocean’s 8.
As the 30-year-old Bajan beauty posed before hordes of photographers camped outside the English capital’s Cineworld, Leicester Square, she was forced to hold up one side of her shimmering metallic gown as her bounteous bosom spilled out.

Maintaining an unwavering show-must-go-on smile as she sauntered her way along the expansive red carpet, the Rude Boy singer kept a hand firmly perched over her right breast while continuing to pose up a storm.
And while she attracted attention for what could have been a disastrous trip down the red carpet, Rihanna still proved to be the star of the show thanks to her show-stopping gown of choice.
Making her entrance later than the rest of her co-stars, the star wowed in her dress, which featured a low, plunging neckline, teasing her bust.
