Lindsey Vonn suffered a wardrobe malfunction Wednesday when she attended the 2025 ESPY Awards in Los Angeles.
The American skier, who wore a strapless Elisabetta Franchi gown with a daring slit, seemingly encountered a gust of wind while walking the red carpet, with the fabric of her dress showing more of her underwear.
Fortunately for Vonn, she was aided during the mishap.
