Papadakis’ costume came undone at the start of her Winter Olympic short dance program that threatened to bring the whole thing down in the heats.
As she and partner Guillaume Cizeron began their scorching Latin routine to Ed Sheeran music, the clasp holding her green-and-gold sequined dress together came undone.
It caused her nipple to pop up but she carried on regardless, clipping the outfit back together and qualifying for the final.
She eventually won the silver medal and while it took all the headline, it wasn’t the first wardrobe malfunction of the Games.
South Korean ice skater Yura Min herself suffered one when she was performing in her Olympic debut in her home country.
Her red dress slip just seconds into the performance and it threatened to fall off in front of millions watching around the world.
Aura was forced to keep adjusting her red sparkly top as she was spun around by partner Alexander Gamelin.
She was praised by commentators for recovering from the setback and took to Instagram to thank the crowd after.
She wrote: “Despite the wardrobe malfunction, I had an amazing time competing in my home country!
“I promise to sew myself in for the individual event.
“I would like to thank the audience for keeping us going until the end.
“Couldn’t have done it without you guys #grateful.”
The two incidents have put the outfits under the microscope but two Turkish Olympic ice dancers insist they are under no pressure from their government to tone it down.
“We feel so sorry really,” Alisa Agafonova, who designs the outfits for her and partner Alper Ucar herself, said.
Ukrainian-born Agafonova does not feel the need to make their clothing any more conservative because they represent a Muslim nation at the Games.
“We are an open country and there is no problem for me to do. I am wearing what I like,” she said.
The Turkish Olympic committee did not give any specific directions about their costumes.
“Turkey is a country where one side is Europe and the other side is the Middle East,” Ucar said.
“We are a multicultural country and our traditional designs for our costumes are generally very liked by the crowd. We are a democratic country, so there is no pressure.
“They are always supporting us and that’s why we are here.”
