In cinema, a little allure goes a long way. The mystery of what's left to the imagination, the suggestiveness of certain imagery, the scandalous nature of some film and TV scenes—Hollywood capitalizes on all that coquettishness. But sometimes the "scandal sells" approach goes a little further than intended when an actor's clothing stops cooperating and they flash more skin than they intended, or when they're simply wearing something they definitely shouldn't be. Any skilled costume designer, dedicated director, or eagle-eyed editor would remedy accidental near-nudity or glaring mistakes on set or in post-production to ensure the public never spotted the garment glitch. That's usually how it works, too — except in the case of these wardrobe malfunctions that skated past a hundred sets of eyes and somehow ended up in the movie. Even if you've never seen Closer , Mike Nichols' Oscar-nominated film adapted from Patrick Marber's searing stage play of the same name, you've certainly seen the character Natalie Portman portrays. Bubblegum pink wig, dangling crystal earrings, and a purple star-encrusted, fringed-out bustier? That's Alice Ayres, also known as Jane Jones, the young exotic dancer from America who arrives in London, meets and falls for British writer Dan Woolf Jude Law , and makes a pretty naughty declaration about the most fun thing a girl can do. Though many would be forgiven for presuming Portman bares it all as Alice, they'd be mistaken, as the actress defies her character's line of work and stays totally clothed. But thanks to a wardrobe malfunction that happens during an unfortunate moment in a booth opposite Clive Owen's Larry Gray, a lot more is shown.
