Wardrobe malfunction is first used by singer Justin Timberlake in 2004 to explain the incident during Super Bowl XXXVIII in which Janet Jackson's right breast was bared.

Wardrobe malfunction在2004年第38届超级碗比赛中歌手贾斯汀•汀布莱克就珍妮•杰克逊右乳外露事件做出解释时被首次使用。

It is now used as a euphemism referring to an accidental instance of indecent exposure caused by a fault in someone's clothing (especially that of a performer) or by an error made while changing this costume.

现在，wardrobe malfunction常用作指代因穿衣不当（尤指演员）或演员更换演出服时导致身体部位外露的意外“走光事件”的委婉表达。
