Harry Styles 

Harry was left red-faced after he split his trousers while performing in front of his childhood crush Jennifer Aniston.

The singer, 28, suffered a wardrobe mishap during his Los Angeles concert this week where he ripped his trousers down the middle during a dance move.

The hitmaker had been performing his song Music For A Sushi Restaurant when the awkward moment occurred.

Harry saw the funny side of the mishap and apologised to members of the crowd in the front row.


In a clip from the show, Harry was seen running around the stage to grab a pride flag which he then tied around his waist.

Cardi B

While dancing and twerking to the groove of the music, Cardi B suffered a revealing wardrobe malfunction, which left her needing to swiftly swap her mesh jumpsuit for a white robe.

The fashion-related mishap happened when the rapper’s multi-colored sequin bodysuit ripped at the seam along her backside and showed more of her derriere than even she may have ever bargained for.

The show went on as Cardi, 30, ripped through her bevy of hits for her adoring fans, and then at some point a man and woman on the side of the stage appeared to take notice of the wardrobe malfunction.

Not long after that, the Bodak Yellow star headed off for a quick costume change and came back out and finished the show dressed in a white bathrobe over some undergarments.

PJ Proby 

Sixties pop star PJ Proby is best remembered by UK audiences for splitting his tight trousers on stage because of his demanding dance routines.

After it happened at two concerts in Luton and Croydon he was banned from performing in Britain and his music career plummeted.

Having squandered his fortune he retired to a sleepy bungalow in Worcestershire, with his pet dachshund Tilly and a sign outside saying ‘Trespassers will be shot’.

In 2019, Proby stated in an interview that he finds it acceptable to date girls as young as twelve but hasn’t been in a relationship for 22 years because he knows it is illegal.

Katy crouched down as she sang the lyrics, ‘Let you put your hands on me in my skintight jeans,’ and that’s when her skintight trousers divided, bringing the performance to a halt.


‘They busted,’ her co-host Luke exclaimed before Lionel chimed in and said, ‘The concert is officially over!’

Katy asked for assistance from crew members, who came to help the star out with tape to cover her exposed area.

Lil Nas X

During a performance on Saturday Night Live, Lil Nas X, 23, suffered from an unexpected wardrobe malfunction, which left him with ripped pants in front of a live audience.

While performing his controversial hit song Montero (Call Me By Your Name) on NBC’s Emmy Award-winning late-night comedy, the rapper gyrated and danced next to a stripper pole with a slew of shirtless backup dancers.

Even after his leather pants spilt halfway through the track, the two-time Grammy winner didn’t miss a beat with his choreography as he crooned: ‘I’m not fazed, only here to sin/If Eve ain’t in your garden, you know that you can.’

‘NOT MY PANTS RIPPED ON LIVE ON TV,’ he tweeted immediately after his set. ‘OMFG NO.’
