Star Laughs Off Wardrobe Malfunction at the Critics Choice Awards

The Critics’ Choice Awards is celebrating its 31st show on Sunday, January 4, 2026, at the Barker Hangar at the Santa Monica Airport in Santa Monica, California. The evening was a celebration of talent and fashion; however, one star experienced a wardrobe malfunction. That star was Sara Foster, but she had the best reaction to the incident.

In an interview with E! at the event, Foster discussed what happened: her shapewear became visible under her stunning Monique Lhuillier dress. She opted for a gorgeous white dress with long sleeves and a high neck, but it also featured a thigh-high slit. She wore her hair in a half-up, half-down style that really flattered her face, and she kept her makeup simple and beautiful. 

While posing for photos, a photographer pointed out that her Spanx was showing. “Gotta love him!” she said in the interview. “I was like, ‘I want to bring that back.’ They’re like, ‘It’s online, people can buy it.’ And I’m like, ‘I don’t care.'”

In the same article, actress Sheryl Lee Ralph also discussed how, when attending a red carpet, she goes to great lengths to avoid wardrobe mishaps. She even shared a few tips and tricks in the interview. “When you’re coming down the red carpet, it’s not time for little hiccups and your shoes, sometimes they don’t fit properly,” she said. “First of all, I live by lidocaine, if the shoe even has the possibility of being uncomfortable. And then I spray the shoe with spray adhesive, get my foot in and there is not flip-floppage.”

The award season is a big deal, and Foster’s mishap is not the worst thing to happen; it also won’t be the last.

It was a big night for fashion, and there were many stunning outfits on the red carpet this evening. Sara also walked the red carpet with her sister, Erin Foster.

It was a big night for Erin, whose comedy series, “Nobody Wants This,” was nominated for several awards. This includes Best Comedy Series. Adam Brody was nominated for Best Actor in a Comedy Series, Kristen Bell was nominated for Best Actress in a Comedy Series, Timothy Simons was nominated for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series, and Justine Lupe was nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. 

Erin’s love life inspired the show with now-husband Simon Tikhman. Some aspects might be similar, but it’s not all factual. In an interview with Deadline, Erin discussed the work. “I don’t feel like Season 1 was more true to my life, and Season 2 is more fiction. They both are really a mix,” she said. “In Season 1, the way that they meet and all of that is so different than my story. So, I think it’s really the same amount of truth, because once they essentially choose each other at the end of Season 1, now it’s like, what does that look like and how do you bring your two worlds together?”
