Meanwhile, in the caption of her post, the actress wrote, “I had bought the bodysuit in the Sock Shop at the airport, and when I got in the car to drive to the premiere with Denzel and Pauletta Washington, all the poppers in the crotch popped open, and it flipped up like a roller blind.”

She further added, “I walked out onto the biggest red carpet of my life and whispered to Keanu and Robert Sean Leonard what had happened. In this picture, I am holding the front gusset down, and the two of them are holding the back gusset. Absolute legends who may not even have fully understood the physics of what was happening or had ever heard the word ‘gusset’ before, but both jumped in to save me—no questions asked.”
