Hardly a wallflower! Emma Watson suffers a wardrobe malfunction as her backless dress proves slightly TOO revealing at premiere

She's the somewhat shy and retiring star of upcoming movie The Perks Of Being A Wallflower.
But Emma Watson was anything but a wallflower at the Los Angeles premiere of the movie last night (Monday) when she suffered an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction on the red carpet.
The 22-year-old actress found that her backless dress was slightly too revealing as she posed up for photographers, with the side of the outfit slipping to reveal her breast.

Dare to bare: Emma found that the backless dress proved slightly too revealing on the red carpet

Luckily, Emma had thought ahead and was wearing a nipple daisy to protect the majority of her modesty, quickly correcting the malfunction before happily posing up on the red carpet once again.
Other than her fashion error, Emma managed to look stunning for the event in the nude dress, which featured three layers of lace and highlighted her waif-like figure.
To complement her ensemble, Emma opted for simple but effective make-up, with classic red lipstick and dark eyeliner.

The British actress finished her outfit off by wearing her hair slicked back away from her face, and went jewellery-free to ensure all the attention was on her showstopping gown. 

The film is a coming-of-age story based on the best selling novel by Stephen Chbosky, and sees Emma star alongisde Logan Lerman (3:10 to Yuma) and Ezra Miller (We Need to Talk About Kevin) in the story of an introvert freshman who is taken under the wings of two seniors.
Emma plays the role of Sam, Patrick's (played by Miller) free-spirited step-sister, whom Charlie (played by Lerman) falls for.
