Under-dressed is an understatement! From going commando under a lace-up dress to bras on display (and missing the black tie memo): The AACTA Awards worst dressed
- AACTA Awards took place at The Star in Sydney on Wednesday
- Musical theatre actress Kirby Burgess wore a hot pink lace-up gown
- The dress revealed the Dirty Dancing star was sans underwear
Every red carpet has its share of fashion hits and misses, and the AACTA Awards were no different.
While the event was dominated by sensational style - most notably by Megan Gale, Cate Blanchett, Teresa Palmer and Pia Miller - there were some stars that missed the mark.
Kirby Burgess wore an incredibly risque gown to the event, turning heads in the shocking pink frock that put the musical theatre actress at high risk of a wardrobe malfunction.

The actress won points for her Sixties-inspired bouffant hairstyle and orange pop lipstick.
