Carrie Bickmore has candidly revealed her last-minute wardrobe mishap shortly before hitting the red carpet for tonight’s AACTA awards.

Channel 10 star Carrie Bickmore has candidly revealed her last-minute wardrobe mishap shortly before hitting the red carpet for tonight’s AACTA awards ceremony.

Standing alongside fellow hosts of The Project while being interviewed before the event, Bickmore told cameras she was almost forced to wear a shirt and jeans after finding the back of her green dress had been torn.

“My dress just broke,” she said from the red carpet.

“I ripped my dress before, about half an hour before we came and the dress went to the tailor and the only other thing I had to wear was jeans and a shirt.

“So I thought, it would be funny if I had won and I had to rock up (for a speech) in my jeans and shirt.”

Co-star Hamish Macdonald chimed in with a joke, telling viewers his colleague was in a state trying to deal with the mishap.

“She‘s been swearing all the time. She’s been swearing how stressful this was, but we have calmed her down and it is all going to be OK,” he said.
