Madison Beer Narrowly Avoids Wardrobe Disaster In Ultra-High-Slit Gown

Madison Beer turned heads, and nearly revealed much more, as she left the splashy GQ party at the Chateau Marmont on Thursday night. The 26-year-old singer stunned in a daring black gown with a slit cut so high it looked moments away from ripping as she walked. At one point, the risky design appeared inches from exposing her underwear. Paired with a plunging neckline and halter-style straps tied behind her neck, the look was bold enough to outshine some of the night’s biggest attendees, including Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner. Madison Beer elongated her legs with sleek black pumps, completing a show-stopping ensemble that instantly set social media buzzing.

In a reel shared from the event, Madison posed effortlessly against the GQ backdrop, the magazine’s iconic lettering glowing behind her. She accessorized with multiple rings on both hands and a distinctive banded bracelet on her right arm, adding just the right amount of edge to the classic black-on-black moment.

Fans quickly flooded the comments, praising the singer for pulling off one of the night’s most memorable looks. "Oh my gosh," one user wrote as another chimed in with, "Madison Beer is the MOTHER OF THE YEAR !!!"

Madison’s headline-making night comes as her relationship with Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert continues to attract major attention. The pair went public in mid-2025 and have since become one of the most talked-about young celebrity couples.

Madison is frequently spotted cheering Herbert on from the sidelines, and their growing number of public appearances together has only fueled the buzz surrounding them.

Madison’s GQ appearance comes just weeks after she turned heads on one of the biggest stages in fashion, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. In October, the 26-year-old singer made a show-stopping appearance in her native New York, where she performed in a pale pink corset, matching shorts, and a set of soft angel wings that perfectly fit the brand’s iconic aesthetic.

The star-studded event marked a major moment for the pop star, who stood alongside first-time VS runway talents including WNBA standout Angel Reese and Olympic gold medalist Suni Lee. Madison’s performance quickly became one of the most buzzed-about highlights of the night, solidifying her growing presence in the fashion world and signaling that her red-carpet dominance is no accident. It’s a momentum she’s carrying from runway to after-party.

This year’s near-wardrobe malfunction wasn’t Madison’s first brush with fashion chaos. The singer previously revealed that her 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show appearance also came with its own unexpected hurdle, one that required the team to redesign her angel wings overnight.

Speaking with Davis Burleson for SiriusXM’s TikTok Radio, the 26-year-old admitted that the original wings created for her headlining performance were stunning, but nearly impossible to wear safely. “I had other wings that were giant and [weighed] 25 lbs,” she recalled. “We played with them in rehearsals, and I was like, ‘They’re literally gorgeous, but I can’t perform in them. I’m going to hit a dancer off the platform, I'm so scared of this.’”

Madison explained that the size and weight made it impossible to move naturally onstage. “I couldn’t walk or strut in them,” she shared, noting that the heaviness threw off her balance entirely.

Thankfully, the designers stepped in with a quick solution.

“They were so lovely and they made me new ones the night before,” she revealed. "The replacement wings weighed a manageable five pounds, allowing her to glide down the runway with ease. And without the fear of accidentally knocking out a backup dancer."

Whether she’s dodging a wardrobe disaster on the GQ red carpet or navigating last-minute wing drama at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, Madison Beer continues to prove she’s unshakable under pressure.

With her music career soaring, her fashion moments dominating social feeds, and her relationship with Justin Herbert drawing plenty of attention, the 26-year-old is firmly cemented as one of pop culture’s most-watched stars.
