Katherine Heigl's triumph at the ShoWest convention in Las Vegas almost ended in embarrassment - a shoulder strap on her designer dress snapped as she was making her acceptance speech.
The Knocked Up actress was addressing the audience after scooping the Female Star of the Year Award on Thursday night (18Mar10) when the material holding up the left side of her red frock ripped.
Heigl desperately tried to maintain her composure as she attempted to stop the dress falling away and exposing her left breast - until host Billy Bush gallantly stepped in and spared her blushes by holding the outfit in place.
After finishing her speech, Heigl headed backstage and repaired the broken strap with a safety pin.
