Heidi Klum’s Cannes red carpet wardrobe malfunction

Heidi Klum looked incredible on the red carpet at Cannes – but her very revealing dress had a mind of its own.

She’s free as a bird.

Heidi Klum looked like she was about to take flight in a yellow Zuhair Murad gown as she hit the red carpet for the premiere of La Passion de Dodin Bouffant at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival today, with the couture dress featuring a dramatic split cape that resembled wings.

The supermodel, 49, tossed the gown’s jersey fabric in the air as she posed for photographers with the piece showing off plenty of skin thanks to the cut-out middle and thigh-high slit.

Klum narrowly avoided a wardrobe malfunction in the daring dress, which featured a crisscross bodice that barely covered her nipples.

Along with its sexy centre, the designer style included heavy beading on the shoulders and draping throughout.

The model and TV presenter — who recently took fans on a tour of her messy closet — wore a pair of clear sandals with her bright dress, adding several sparkling rings to her look.

She chose a minimalistic makeup look that included a nude lip and heavy mascara, wearing her hair in a wavy style for the night.

Her sizzling dress should come as no surprise to the model’s fans, with the TV personality often sporting a less-is-more philosophy on the red carpet and in her frequent Instagram posts.

Whether it’s the feathered mini dress with cutouts that she wore to the 2023 Golden Globes or the topless Easter pic she posted this year, Klum isn’t afraid to show some skin.

She’s also been having a bit of a yellow moment these days, wearing a sunny bikini and gold eye patches while frolicking in the grass in a recent Instagram photo.

With plenty of summer days ahead, we have a feeling we’ll be seeing some more sizzling looks from Heidi soon enough.
