Strapless dresses might look pretty but they’re not exactly the easiest to wear. Jourdan Dunn and Lara Stone learned that the hard way at the ‘Zoolander No. 2’ UK premiere, where the two models struggled to keep their dresses up and prevent impending wardrobe malfunction.

The 25-year-old cameos in the sequel so her presence at the UK premiere was essential. She got the blue carpet memo and wore an ice blue Ralph & Russo S/S 2016 dress with a textured top and a sequined bottom that emphasized her itty-bitty waist and slender legs. Jourdan looked stunning as the dress offset her gorgeous glowing skin.
She did have to pause every now and then to pull her top up and prevent unwarranted shows of flesh.
2. Lara Stone

The Dutch model also commanded attention in her Sass & Bide silver lining “Gallery” dress that she teamed up with a pair of peep toe pumps. Like Jourdan, Lara had to regularly pull her dress up as it kept slipping down.
