Oh dear, Geri. And it had all been going so well.
The Spice Girl turned up to an awards ceremony looking enviably sleek and well-groomed in a ruffled red dress.
In fact, with her glossy curls and understated make-up, the singer looked positively demure - a far cry from her raunchy 'Ginger Spice' days.
Geri Haliwell was the lady in red as she sparkled at the Children's Bafta Awards in London last night where she revealed a little more than she bargain for
And then she turned round. The 36-year-old had clearly not reckoned with the chilly winter winds on the red carpet catching one of those romantic ruffles and giving the crowds a rather revealing glimpse underneath her dress.
Her unintentional peekaboo moment was all the more unfortunate as the mother-of-one was attending the Children's Baftas.

Miss Halliwell, who has a two-year-old daughter called Bluebell Madonna, launched a career as a children's author last year.
She has written a series of books about the adventures of a nine-year-old girl called Ugenia Lavender.

The awards, hosted this year by TV presenter Keith Chegwin, celebrate the best in children's entertainment, from films to video games.
Other celebrities at the event included Strictly Come Dancing star Rachel Stevens and Dancing On Ice winner Suzanne Shaw.

Keith Chegwin, who hosted the event, presented a Special Award to the Chuckle Brothers
Among the winners were the Chuckle Brothers, who were honoured with a Special Award after more than three decades in children's entertainment.
They collected their gong from Doctor Who writer Russell T Davies.

Here's what readers have had to say so far. Why not add your thoughts below?
I suppose it achieved the desired result of getting Geri in the papers for not doing very much - again!
Nice one Gerry, if you have got it, flaunt it. I think many women don't have it and are very jealous that they can't.
Why are women who are missing out on life so different to us men. We are not catty when we see a very masculine looking man
My wife also thought she looked great.

I'm fairly liberal, don't have kids, but even i can see that for a kids award show that isn't really an appropriate dress! You just have to look at what the other women are wearing. Thats more a red carpet premiere dress.
