SINGER Janelle Monae suffered an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction at the 2020 Oscars.
The 34-year-old was performing the opening musical number at the star-studded ceremony when her blouse popped open on stage.
During the performance, Janelle struggled to take off her blazer when the blouse button popped open.
She was singing A Beautiful Day In The Neighbourhood as part of a tribute to the late Fred Rogers.
Despite the embarrassing incident, the star remained professional as she quickly fixed up the button without losing her place in the song.
Fans took to Twitter to praise the star for her stand-out performance.
One wrote: “Janelle Monae’s button-down opening by the bust is tonight’s most relatable moment where my DD and ups at?”
Another said: “Janelle Monae fixing her chest shirt button on national television is all of us. #Oscars.”
A third added: “Official Oscar thread starts here: Janelle Monet handled that potential clothing whoops like a pro. She didn’t even make a big deal of the button pop while I screamed OH NOOO to my tv.”
The opening number also saw Janelle walk through the audience and sing directly to Tom Hanks.
The actor was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Mister Rogers in A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.
However, Hanks lost out to Brad Pitt who took home the gong for his performance in Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood.
Janelle has also been involved in a number of smash flicks, including the Oscar-nominated and winning project Moonlight, Hidden Figures and Harriet.
