President Barack Obama saved wife Michelle from an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction yesterday when her stopped her skirt from flying over her head while the pair boarded Air Force One in gusty conditions in Austin, Texas.
As the Obamas climbed the stairs to board the presidential jet the First Lady’s skirt was caught in the wind, but an ever attentive Barack kindly placed his hand over his wife’s backside to save her from a potentially humiliating photo-op.
The smooth Presidential pair seemed to see the humour in the situation as they were seen laughing to each other upon entering the jet. The Marilyn Munroe moment was reminiscent of The Duchess of Cambridge’s close call earlier this week.
Upon disembarking the Royal New Zealand Air Force jet in Wellington this week Kate Middleton’s Catherine Walker button-down coat was caught by a strong gust which almost saw the Duchess red faced. Luckily, the outerwear’s heavy fabric was a little too heavy and the new mum was spared an awkward flash of her undergarments.
But the royal and the First Lady aren’t the only ones who have had to giggle their way through a windy day. There are plenty of stars who have bared far more than they bargained for.
