Australian model Nicole Trunfio wears a barely there dress to ELLE Awards in Sydney

IT takes a brave person to wear a dress held together by a piece of string.... or perhaps just a model.

NICOLE Trunfio‘s latest fashion choice was a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen, albeit a chic one.

The model showed off nearly every inch of her unbelievable post-baby body at Wednesday night’s ELLE Style Awards in Sydney.

The 29-year-old beauty welcomed son Zion with musician Gary Clark Jr. in January.

Trunfio put her toned legs and booty — the result of boxing and lots of hard work at the gymon display in a revealing Ellery dress that laced up the side and left no room for undergarments but plenty of opportunity for showing off side-boob.

Luckily no wardrobe malfunction was actually reported, although Trunfio was photographed holding the material of her dress in place as the wind kicked up on the red carpet.

Inside the event, Trunfio accepted ELLE Australia’s Editor’s Choice Award, following the new mum’s much talked about cover for the June issue of the magazine, in which she’s pictured breastfeeding her baby boy.

Trunfio made a quick, 48-hour trip to Australia, which also included a celebration for the launch of her Trunfio Universe jewellery line, as Clark Jr. is playing sold-out shows in New York.

We’re told Trunfio’s flying straight from Australia to Mexico for a campaign shoot.
