Beauty queen's wardrobe malfunction shoots actress to fame

It got her all the exposure she wanted, without her really being exposed.

The incident has since become Chang's biggest claim to fame, but she insisted she is not too worried about it.

"To some extent, it was an unexpected gain," she said in Mandarin, laughing. "After all, I didn't expose myself on stage, and it gave the media an interesting piece of news to write about."

Worst celebrity wardrobe malfunctions

These outfits are so terrible, you wonder how anyone can leave the house, let alone walk down the red carpet, looking like this.

From baring underwear to just plain boring, they show that celebrities get it really wrong sometimes.

Actress Ha Na-kyeong was voted worst-dressed of 2012 by the Chosun Ilbo's panel of 25 fashion designers and stylists, who said that the sexy black outfit was an utter failure, especially after she accidentally bared her cleavage while falling on the red carpet.

Some other top female stars were named as worst-dressed too. The panel said actress Lee Min-jeong always chooses boring and safe clothes, which a friend next door would wear to work.
