Kate Beckinsale confessed she had a wardrobe malfunction, and Keanu Reeves was there to save the day.
During the 46th Cannes Festival, the "Serendipity" actress shared her fashion mishap that occurred at "the biggest red carpet" of her life.
"I had bought the bodysuit in the Sock Shop at the airport and when I got in the car to drive to the premiere with Denzel and Pauletta Washington, all the poppers in the crotch popped themselves open and it flipped up like a roller blind," Beckinsale wrote on Instagram.

The 49-year-old actress was preparing to walk the Cannes red carpet for the premiere of the 1993 film "Much Ado About Nothing," where she co-starred alongside Reeves, Washington and Robert Sean Leonard.
She continued to explain how she did not want to adjust her outfit in the car because she found it inappropriate. Beckinsale added that she "quietly panicked" to herself at the time.
