Last night, the 2013 Arqiva British Academy Television Awards were plagued by winds and rain, translating to wardrobe malfunctions on the red carpet.

Ruined hair, runny makeup, windswept skirts, and soaked hemlines — we love a parade of gorgeous gowns, but we can’t deny that we got a chuckle or two out of seeing these British celebrities struggle with keeping their glamorous getups from going down the drain.
