Jennifer Lawrence's SAG Awards dress DIDN'T rip - it was all part of the design, insists Dior
|
Jennifer Lawrence snagged top honours at Sunday's SAG Awards, and it appeared that she had also snagged her Dior Haute Couture gown.
But it seems the so-called wardrobe malfunction was actually part of creative director Raf Simons's design.
A spokesperson for Dior told MailOnline: 'The dress is made of different levels of tulle and satin and that is what viewers saw when Jennifer lifted her dress slightly.
'It was not ripped and there was no malfunction - it was the design of the gown.'

The strapless dress's lower half seemed to literally drop, revealing a sheer panel that exposed the star's mid-thigh, leaving many to wonder momentarily if maybe her skirt would not follow.
