British Prime Minister David Cameron is on top of a lot of things like foreign policy and taxes, but what he’s not on top of is keeping his top buttoned. During the Lord Mayor’s Banquet at London’s Guildhall in 2012, Cameron had an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction after giving a speech on the vitality of Britain’s banks. Cameron leaned back in his chair without realizing that the entire front of his tuxedo shirt was unbuttoned.

NJ GOVERNOR CHRIS CHRISTIE

Eventually he caught on, likely due to a breeze, but the evidence was already documented. The Telegraph noted that the three leading causes of shirt gape are “too tight shirt, “too big boobs” and “too much dinner.” An embarrassing moment to say the least!

There ain’t no shame in being a man with “more to love”, but it’s a little embarrassing when you don’t dress for your frame. When Governor Chris Christie signed up for the iTrueBlue celebrity softball game in New York to raise money in honor of NYPD officers who were killed in the line of duty, fans and spectators got more than an eye full.

CHIEF JUSTICE OF PAKISTAN ABDUL HAMEED DOGAR

It was clear that the former presidential hopeful did his best to squeeze his larger-than-life frame into the uniform but at least he wasn’t afraid to put himself in a position to be laughed at (for charity, of course). The unfortunate incident begs the question: why didn’t they get a uniform in Christie’s size?

Abdul Hameed Dogar served as the Justice of Sindh High Court before being appointed Chief Justice of Pakistan by President Pervez Musharraf in 2007. Unlike Chris Christie whose pants were too small, the Chief Justice was seen wearing pants that were clearly too large.

TOURISM MINISTER ELENA UDREA

In a now-viral video, Chief Justice Dogar is seen greeting another man when lo and behold, his pants fell down!The man in question tried to help the Chief Justice with his dilemma but quickly realized that would make the situation even more uncomfortable. Chief Justice Dogar adjusted himself and resumed his composure but the video cuts off before we found out if someone got the man a belt.

Romanian politician Elena Udrea served as Tourism Minister for a year before becoming the Regional Development and Tourism Minister from 2009 to 2012. During the 2012 elections, Udrea sparked controversy when she was seen adjusting her bra while actually speaking to a voter during a rally. A sneaky photographer caught the moment on camera which led several critics condemning the presidential hopeful for “cheapening” Romanian politics.

SENATOR TED CRUZ

One voter said: “Any woman needs to now how to dress herself properly in clothes that fit her. Waggling her breasts around in front of potential voters is just a cheap way of getting attention.”

Male politicians have it pretty easy when it comes to fashion: buy some basic (boring) suits and wear conservative ties and shoes. You would think that after two decades of working in law and politics, Senator Ted Cruz would be much better at dressing himself but he’s not.

FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA

As the Senator is running for a presidential bid, the public has been introduced to his questionable clothing choices including paper bag trenchcoats (above), loose and flat collars, and ostrich cowboy boots. Although these may not be “wardrobe malfunctions” per say, they’re enough of a crime against fashion that they belong on this list.

What do First Lady Michelle Obama and Marilyn Monroe have in common? Aside from intimacy with the president, both of them have also shared intimate wardrobe malfunctions with large gusts of wind. When President Obama and the First Lady arrived in Austin for the 50th Anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 signing, they were greeted with a stiff breeze on the tarmac.

DUCHESS OF CAMBRIDGE KATE MIDDLETON

For a brief moment, the gust threatened to give the FLOTUS an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction as it lifted the First Lady’s pleated skirt well above the knee. Luckily, the President saved the day and held the skirt down to avert an incident in front of the pool of reporters. On the way back on to the Air Force One, President Obama came prepared and caught himself a handful on the way up the stairs.

President Obama may have saved the day for his wife but Duchess Kate Middleton was not quite as lucky. When Prince William and Princess Kate touched down in Calgary to attend a rodeo, royal watchers were treated to an unexpected surprise as a gust of wind lifted up Kate’s dress, exposing her underwear. This isn’t the first time the public’s gotten a glimpse of the Duchess. Pictures of Kate’s bare butt were published in a German newspaper after a gust of wind blew up her dress in Australia.

DONALD TRUMP

This isn’t Kate’s first run in with wardrobe malfunctions however. The Duchess also had trouble keeping her skirt down at the Wellington Airport, the Brisbane Airport, Harry Potter studios, Southampton and at a friend’s wedding. Perhaps she needs some weights added to her skirt hems?

Source: The Odyssey Online One of the top questions plaguing voters in 2016 is whether Mr. Trump’s hair is real? Nobody seems to know the answer and it’s dividing the nation. A former hairstylist on The Apprentice says that Donald wouldn’t let her touch his gorgeous mane during filming of the show. She believes he got it styled prior to arriving on set each day. Trump’s personal stylists may have revealed his secret weapon.

SARAH PALIN

It’s a type of hair spray called “CHI Helmet Head” which is supposedly resistant to humidity. This explains his willingness to remove his hat during rain (or so he claims). Donald says that if he gets elected he will get a more conventional cut. The reason? “Because this thing is too hard to comb.”

Sarah Palin’s internet channel was meant to be a forum for her views on politics, family, and immigration. The project was short lived and produced few memories. Her most famous moment came in a wardrobe malfunction during a cooking episode.

SENATOR HILLARY CLINTON

As she was showing us how to produce a blueberry pie for the holidays, her sweater descended a few more notches than intended. For a precious second, audiences witnessed Palin’s inexplicably tanned Alaskan skin as well as her lovely choice of undergarment. She pivoted out of the situation nicely, refocusing viewers on her new book, “Good Tidings and Great Joy: Protecting the Heart of Christmas.”

The case of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s wardrobe malfunctions is a strange one. As you can see above, it is actually actress Natalie Portman who had the wardrobe malfunction when she met the potential first female POTUS. Which begs the question: why didn’t Ms. Clinton warn Natalie before the photo was taken, you know, girl-to-girl?

UK HOME SECRETARY THERESA MAY

She must’ve seen that it was a little bit nipply in the room right before this picture was snapped. Well, many people believe that Hillary took advantage of the situation and saw it as an opportunity to distract from her own cleavage controversy a la Senate Floor in July 2007. Guess the key is to fight wardrobe malfunctions with wardrobe malfunctions.

Parliament Member and Home Secretary Theresa May certainly has a pension for bold designer choices such as thigh-high patent boots, mini skirts and eccentric footwear and they may have gotten the better of her last fall. As the 59-year-old politician exited the National Black Police Association Conference in Birmingham, her skirt, which was held together by a zipper from the top to the hem, came undone.

As she made her way outside, May is seen desperately trying to zip the form-fitting pencil skirt back down to avoid any Kate Middleton PR disasters. Eventually, May resumed her composure, but judging from the expression of the guy behind her, not before giving him an eyeful.
