2022 Brit Awards: How Idris Elba Suffered Wardrobe Malfunction

Idris Elba risked exposing his nether regions when he suffered a major wardrobe malfunction at the Brit Awards on Tuesday, February 8.

The embarrassing moment happened while the 49-year-old star took to the stage to present an award at London's O2 Arena.

Elba rocked a super fly outfit consisting of a bright pink Gucci bomber jacket and black jeans and suffered a wardrobe malfunction when he announced the nominees and winners for the Mastercard Album of the Year award.

While speaking, the Luther star didn't notice that the zip of his trousers was open but when singer Adele mounted the stage to accept her golden statuette, Elba strategically placed his cue cards in front of his groin.

While some brush off the moment as something not much of a big deal, the reaction of others more often than not positions them in a position of online debate.
