Embarrassment: Katherine Heigl struggles to keep her broken strap in check as she accepts her Female Star Of The Year award at the ShoWest convention in Las VegasThere's nothing worse than a wardrobe mishap, especially if you're in the public eye - even more so if you're on stage in front of a live audience.
Sadly for Katherine Heigl, fate struck a cruel blow as she was handed the Female Star of the Year Award at the ShoWest convention held in Las Vegas.
The actress, who was honoured for her work on films including 27 Dresses and The Ugly Truth, faced an embarrassing situation when one of the straps broke on her stunning red dress right in the middle of her acceptance speech.
Disaster: The actress couldn't finish her speech as she battled with the broken strapWith one side of her chest close to being completely exposed Miss Heigl floundered and had difficulty continuing her speech.
That was until host Billy Bush stepped in and saved the day, holding her strap in place and giving the actress the chance to say a few words without worry of showing too much flesh.
After receiving her award, she went backstage and found a pin to secure the strap before heading to the photographers' enclosure to show off her new award.

'Her comedic timing and flair for acting are showcased in each of her roles and have captivated audiences around the globe. We are pleased to honor Katherine Heigl as the ShoWest 2010 Female Star of the Year.'
Her impressive roster of acting roles includes her five-year stint on Grey's Anatomy, after which she broke onto the big screen with the 2007 summer blockbuster Knocked Up, from director Judd Apatow.
This was followed up by her box office favorite 27 Dresses, which proved to audiences across the country that Heigl has star power. Last year she starred in The Ugly Truth and will be seen later this year in Life As We Know It.
Katherine got dressed up for the second day in a row at the film event, which was held at the Paris hotel in Las Vegas.
Following her first outing, earlier in the day, wearing a tight-fitting black dress, the actress went for a more glamorous look at the final night's awards show combining a knee-length red dress with a pair of gold Christian Louboutin peep-toe heels.
