“Someone’s Going To Lose Their Job”: Beyoncé’s Wardrobe Malfunction Catches People’s Eyes During The Grammys

Beyoncé experienced an uncomfortable wardrobe malfunction just as she was making history on the night of the 67th Annual Grammy Awards yesterday (January 2).

The artist broke records by becoming the first black woman ever to win in the category for Best Country Album. Despite her remarkable achievement, fans couldn’t help but notice that the boning of her dress was sticking out of the top of her gown.

Highlights
  • Beyoncé's dress's boning was visibly sticking out, causing discomfort during the Grammy's
  • The singer became the first black woman to win Best Country Album at the award ceremony.
  • Fans joked, 'someone's going to lose their job' due to the mishap.
  • Despite the malfunction, Beyoncé maintained her poise.

“Looks painful,” one user wrote, as the wiring appeared to be uncomfortably pushing into one of Beyoncé’s breasts.

“Someone’s going to lose their job,” another remarked.

    Beyoncé went into the event leading in terms of nominations with 11 nods following the release of her award-winning project Cowboy Carter.

    The artist appeared wearing a custom couture Schiaparelli gown in beaded white and champagne hues. The body-hugging dress featured a low, plunging neckline with a keyhole cutout accentuated by a large pearl detail, which is where her “wardrobe malfunction” happened.

    Her blonde hair flowed in a sleek, straight style parted in the middle, complementing her custom-made Lorraine Schwartz diamond earrings.

    Despite a segment of viewers on social media making fun of the wiring sticking out from her dress, most celebrated her achievement and highlighted how the singer managed to keep her poise despite the uncomfortable wardrobe incident.

    For instance, during an NFL Christmas show in Houston, the artist was seen struggling to manage a piece of her outfit during a performance.

    Riding in on a white horse and decked out in an all-white, cowboy-inspired look, Beyoncé provided plenty of ammunition for her critics to lash out on social media.

    More and more she is coming across as a desperate has-been grasping on to any new gimmick to stay relevant,” one user wrote.

    She needs to stop the whole cowgirl nonsense,” another argued.

    In 2023, during a Hamburg Renaissance tour stop, Beyoncé was saved from a potentially show-ruining wardrobe malfunction by one of her backup dancers.

    The singer was performing in a pink dress that barely managed to support her ample bust under the energetic dancing her song demanded.

    Right before her chest entirely slipped out of the dress, one of the dancers improvised a move that allowed him to cover her front and put “everything” back in place.

    Sadly, this time around, no one was around to help her readjust the wiring of her gown in time for her historical win.

    From experience...when those steel 'bones'/underwire pierce through the bra material and start stabbing into your chest and boobs......oweeeeeeeee. So damn sore.

    Any woman who’s worn underwire bras has surly felt this pain before at least once in her life! Ouch! If I were that designer I’d be sending Beyoncé a lovely new gown to replace that disaster to save my reputation!

    Rather send her a dress one size bigger. It's obvious from the first photo that the dress is too tight, at least in the chest.

    I believe the meaning of wardrobe malfunction has been somewhat diminished over the years.

    Look up Judy off of Richard and Judy for a great wardrobe malfunction when her dress slid down on stage while accepting an award and she was wearing a "s****y grey bra" not thinking her underwear would ever be on display...
