Katherine Heigl suffers an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction as she steps on stage at ShoWest in Las Vegas to accept an award
There's nothing worse than a wardrobe mishap, especially if you're in the public eye - even more so if you're on stage in front of a live audience.
Sadly for Katherine Heigl, fate struck a cruel blow as she was handed the Female Star Of The Year Award at the ShoWest convention held in Las Vegas.
The actress, who was honoured for her work on films including 27 Dresses and The Ugly Truth, faced an embarrassing situation when one of the straps broke on her stunning red dress right in the middle of her acceptance speech.
With one side of her chest close to being completely exposed Miss Heigl floundered and had difficulty continuing her speech.
Robert Sunshine, co-managing director of the event said of Heigl: 'Her ever-present charm and innate talent have made Heigl's transition from TV screen to silver screen seemingly effortless.
'Her comedic timing and flair for acting are showcased in each of her roles and have captivated audiences around the globe. We are pleased to honor Katherine Heigl as the ShoWest 2010 Female Star of the Year.'
Her impressive roster of acting roles includes her five-year stint on Grey's Anatomy, after which she broke onto the big screen with the 2007 summer blockbuster Knocked Up, from director Judd Apatow.
This was followed up by her box office favorite 27 Dresses, which proved to audiences across the country that Heigl has star power. Last year she starred in The Ugly Truth and will be seen later this year in Life As We Know It.
Katherine got dressed up for the second day in a row at the film event, which was held at the Paris hotel in Las Vegas.
Following her first outing, earlier in the day, wearing a tight-fitting black dress, the actress went for a more glamorous look at the final night's awards show combining a knee-length red dress with a pair of gold Christian Louboutin peep-toe heels.
As well as the former Grey's Anatomy actress, the event also saw appearances from Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis, High School Musical actress Vanessa Hudgens and Amanda Seyfried.
The Sex And The City girls, who were also at the event earlier in the day, all wore black dresses - SJP's delicate, chiffon-layered, number stealing the limelight from her co-stars.
Miss Seyfried, 24, was handed the Breakthrough Female Star of the Year Award at the show.
Meanwhile Hudgens, who won the Female Star Of Tomorrow award, showed off her pins in a glittering gold babydoll dress and beige heels.
Katherine Heigl also promoted her new movie Life As We Know It with co-star Josh Duhamel at the event.
Also starring Christina Hendricks and Josh Lucas, the comedy is about two single adults who become caregivers to an orphaned girl when their mutual best friends die in an accident.

That was until host Billy Bush stepped in and saved the day, holding her strap in place and giving the actress the chance to say a few words without worry of showing too much flesh.
After receiving her award, she went backstage and found a pin to secure the strap before heading to the photographers' enclosure to show off her new award.Assistance: Host Billy Bush stepped in to hold Katherine's strap in place so she could finish her speech

Jade's death was 'unnecessary and preventable': Reality star's doctor launches attack on NHS
Jade Goody's death was preventable and a result of 'incompetence and neglect' by the NHS, a leading doctor and Harley Street consultant claimed today. One year after the 27-year-old died on March 22, Dr Ann Coxon said Goody's symptoms - which included heavy and irregular bleeding, pain and abnormal smear tests - were 'glaringly obvious'.
The former NHS doctor claimed the reality television star had a tangerine-sized tumour which medical experts failed to spot.
'There should have been alarm bells ringing,' she told The Sun.
'Jade's death was completely unnecessary and preventable. She died of neglect and incompetence.'
Despite strong evidence of cervical cancer, Jade did not suspect anything serious was wrong due to her medical history.
'After she was diagnosed she said to me, in that typically Jade way, "I'm not daft. If I'd known it was to do with cancer, I'd have been checked out every three months".
She added: 'Jade realised she had been let down. She simply said, "Sometimes people make mistakes".'
The mother-of-two, who became a star as a contestant on Big Brother, refused to attend scheduled smear tests after being told she could not have any more children, Coxon alleged. This was nine months prior to her diagnosis.
Jade was given an ultrasound at the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow, Essex, in August 2008.
She then flew to India to appear in a reality television show after doctors had confirmed she could travel.
However, results of a smear test - only performed because a nurse noticed she had skipped appointments - revealed cancerous cells.
Goody received the news she had cervical cancer on camera and flew back to the UK where she was treated by Coxon.
The doctor said: 'An ultrasound should be able to pick up lesions just 1.2mm wide, and Jade had a tumour the size of a tangerine. It should have been blindingly obvious.'
Jade underwent an emergency hysterectomy, chemotherapy and radiation therapy - but it was too late to save the star.
'She probably had cancer for at least a year before her diagnosis. The abnormal smear tests were signs that she was high-risk,' said Coxon. 'She was only diagnosed because of one nurse bothering to do her job.'
Coxon warned: 'Jade story must never be forgotten. She need not have died if the medical profession had got their act together in time.'
This news is sure to cause Jade's sons, Bobby, 6, and Freddie, 5, her mother Jackiey Budden and widower Jack Tweed further heartache.
Her husband and mother visited her grave on Mothers' Day - the anniversary of her death - to pay tribute to the much-missed star.

Despite strong evidence of cervical cancer, Jade did not suspect anything serious was wrong due to her medical history.
'She'd had abnormal smear tests since she was 16 so by the time she was 27 it didn't worry her much, because she didn't really know what it meant,' Coxon said.
'It had never been properly explained to her.'After she was diagnosed she said to me, in that typically Jade way, "I'm not daft. If I'd known it was to do with cancer, I'd have been checked out every three months".
She added: 'Jade realised she had been let down. She simply said, "Sometimes people make mistakes".'

It's a hard life! Yawning Kim Kardashian basks in the Miami sun on luxury yacht
Kim Kardashian stretches back and lets out a huge yawn while basking in the Miami sun on a luxury yacht.
The American socialite made relaxing look like tiring work as she reclined in her lounger, leaving little to the imagination in a tiny peach bikini.
The 29-year-old reality star was joined by her sister Kourtney, 30, who covered up in a loose white top, and cooled down by sipping on a refreshing orange drink.
Usually based in Los Angeles, Kourtney and Khloe relocated to Miami earlier this month to film a second series of their spin-off reality TV show Kourtney And Khloe Take Miami.
Before boarding the yacht yesterday, the pair were seen leaving a local gym following a workout session.
While Kim insists she is happy in her current relationship with American football player Reggie Bush, she did admit feeling broody during Kourtney's pregnancy last year.
She said: 'I want a baby!!!! OK, so maybe not right now, but I can't wait to be an aunt.'
Kim was spotted gushing over her three-month-old nephew Mason Dash Disick as she shopped with his mother Kourtney on Friday.
Showing off her figure in a pair of tight jeans and fringed waistcoat, Kim pulled faces and lavished attention on her cute little relative.
Kim was shopping for a new car in a Maserati showroom in Miami, but found herself distracted by her nephew, who was wearing a blue babygrow.
Given pictures of baby Mason, it is clear he takes after the Kardashian family looks-wise, rather than his father Scott Disick.
In a recent chat with the Celebrity Baby Blog website, Kourtney admitted her son looks like her younger brother Rob, who also appears in Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
Kourtney said: 'So many people say he looks just like Rob and my Dad! I think he takes after my side of the family, but he definitely has Scott’s exact chin and ears. He looks like Mason to me. I stare at him all day.'
She has refused to bow to pressure to lose her post-baby weight quickly and said she has been too busy with Mason to care about hitting the gym fanatically.
She explained: 'Breastfeeding has been going very well! I love and appreciate the bonding time with Mason. Nursing is surprisingly one of my favourite things.'
Kourtney and Disick split up last year but reconciled after they discovered the reality star was pregnant.
