Chrissy Teigen apologizes for wardrobe malfunction at AMAs

Chrissy Teigen’s slit dress at the 2016 American Music Awards ended up exposing more than just the side of her thighs -- but, per usual, the 30-year-old supermodel had a humorous response to her NSFW wardrobe whoops.

On Monday afternoon, Teigen took to Instagram to thank those responsible for her red carpet look. “#AMAs! love you so so so much -- @jenatkinhair @1maryphillips @monicarosestyle @kimmiekyees (apologies to anyone harmed mentally or physically by my hooha). Dress is #yousefakbar and shoes are @dsquared2,” she wrote.

Continuing to joke about her revealing Yousef Akbar dress, Teigen added: “Laser hair removal is @sevlaseraesthetics.”

Ahead of the AMAs, John Legend’s wife made her Twitter account public again, and had several witty responses to tweets about her outfit. “Underwear-free @chrissyteigen, what happened to being a lady? #SMH,” Twitter user Koko Chisasa wrote.

“I am pretty sure you could clearly see I’m a lady,” Teigen quipped back. 

She also responded to the same user that claimed that the wardrobe malfunction occurred because she was “in a hurry.” 

“I was walking. It floated. It’s over. I can’t take it back,” she wrote. “Here is a formal apology. What else would you like?”

Another commenter said of the style: “@chrissyteigen DAMN GIRL you really DID have to shave above the knee.” Teigen responded: “It took about an hour.”

In addition to posing on the red carpet, the new mom also hit the AMAs stage in the daring dress to introduce her husband’s performance of his new song, “Love Me Now.”

“This next performer is a brilliant musician and a wonderful father, who makes a pretty damn good breakfast sandwich,” she gushed over Legend. “He has been known to write love songs about me. What can I say, I’m very inspiring.”

“But his songs are bigger than either of us,” she added. “And on the heels of what’s been a really interesting, f***ed up f***ing election for all of us, we can all use a little love tonight.”
