wardrobe disasters

Clothing gone wrong

Wardrobe disasters are clothing failures that cause embarrassment—a split seam, a visible stain, an unzipped fly, or an outfit that photographs terribly.

The term often describes celebrity mishaps: Her wardrobe disaster made the tabloids.

A wardrobe malfunction is a related euphemism, famously applied to Janet Jackson's 2004 Super Bowl incident.
