Actress Jennifer Lawrence's wardrobe malfunctions as she collected her award for Best Female Actor in Film

Jennifer Lawrence's gown was torn in half as she walked to the Screen Actors Guild stage to accept her award for best female actor

An excited Jennifer, 22, narrowly escaped being completely exposed as her dress came close to tearing in half as she headed on stage to collect her statue for Best Female Actor in a Leading Role.

In front of a glittering audience of stars, the beautiful 22-year-old revealed a little too much of her body in a Christian Dior tiered dress.

Disaster struck as her name was read out to recognise her role in Silver Linings Playbook.

Shooting up from her chair and hugging people around her, the Hunger Games star failed to  notice someone had planted the leg of their chair on her navy Dior gown.

Keen to get on stage, the actress attempted to run off tearing her skirt of her dress at the point where the skirt meets the underskirt with sheer lining.

The sheer lining and skirt, which was fresh from the Paris Haute Couture runway, is hidden under the top tier of the gown.

As she headed to the stage, Jennifer further exposed herself as she hitched up the dress to negotiate the stairs revealing her thighs.
