REIGNING Miss Universe Jennifer Hawkins was left wearing little more than a red G-string after the bottom half of her blue and gold dress dropped to the floor during a Sydney fashion show on Thursday. The 20-year-old Australian was modelling the 7kg metallic lace dress.
Showing the composure which helped her win the Miss Universe crown in June, Miss Hawkins simply turned and sauntered back-stage to camera flashes and a few gasps from the audience.
'I was walking along in a Bora dress and the bottom just came off,' she said later in a television interview.
'It was just a pity I wasn't wearing better panties.'
Sydney's The Daily Telegraph praised her for her cool handling of what could have been an awkward incident.
'Hawkins scored a 10 out of 10 for courage under fire, simply laughing the incident off,' the paper reported.
