London
(ANI):
Instead
of
a
big
round
of
applause,
Katherine
Heigl
was
the
centre
of
audience"s
stares
when
she
went
on
to
receive
a
trophy
at
a
recent
award
function,
courtesy
an
embarrassing
wardrobe
malfunction.
The
strap
on
the
former
'Grey"s
Anatomy" star"s
red
dress
broke
when
she
was
on
stage
at
the
ShoWest
awards
ceremony
in
Las
Vegas.
The
31-year-old
actress
was
accepting
the
Female
Star
of
the
Year
award
at
Thursday's
ceremony,
which
is
the
official
convention
of
the
National
Association
of
Theatre
Owners.
And
when
Heigl
started
to
thank
the
large
audience,
one
of
her
straps
broke,
leaving
the
shocked
actress
struggling
to
hold
up
the
dress
and
cover
her
modesty.
However,
the
sporting
actress
continued
undeterred,
and
managed
to
say
her
thanks,
but
asked
the
host,
Billy
Bush
to
help
hold
up
the
strap,
reports
the
Telegraph.
'The
Ugly
Truth" star
later
managed
to
smile
and
laugh
off
the
incident.
