Wardrobe Malfunction or Opportunity ?

It used to be turning up in an outfit that revealed bra straps or an unflattering dress but the public’s insatiable desire for pics of celebs flashing flesh has turned an innocent phrase into a desperate hunt for nipples; just look at the amount attention Miley Cyrus got this week for shopping in a loose Iron Maiden top that showed a lot of side boob.

Whether consciously or not, former Pussycat Dolls singer Melody Thornton has turned the whole game on its head by turning up at the Elle Women in Music Event in Hollywood in a dress that exposed her whole chest.

Nothing was hidden. It was as if she had decided to wear lace curtains.

She told Mail Online: “I just really wanted to do something crazy. And my friend was like, ‘You have to stop being so safe, so Jackie O. She was like, “Go out there and show some ass.’”

And yes, her brown vintage dress showed off her ass as well.

Not everyone was impressed. Her former bandmate Nicole Scherzinger, who was also at the event, refused to talk to her. She was wearing a modest blue dress that only showed off her legs.
