    "I was wearing a Hervé Léger dress, one of those bandage-y dresses. I went to step out of the door and it split from the bottom to the top — my entire body was out," Keira told People.

    She continued, "It was just full-on naked body. So it was a real moment of going, 'I think that dress was a bit too small.'"

    Keira noted that it happened at a time where she was constantly being followed by photographers, and they almost got a glimpse of everything.

    "It was at a point where I was being followed around by many paparazzi. Luckily, I was in my flat, I was not out the front door, so nobody got a picture of the fact that this dress had split," Keira said.

    Fortunately, Hervé Léger had delivered two dresses, and she was able to change before hitting the red carpet.

    "Thank God it [didn't] happen on the red carpet because it could have happened at any point that evening and I was incredibly fortunate that it happened when it did," Keira concluded.
