Supermodel Anok Yai made headlines at this year’s Vetements show with a moment that blurred the lines between fashion statement and wardrobe malfunction. Walking the runway in a bold, avant-garde ensemble, Yai exuded confidence and poise even as her outfit unexpectedly shifted, creating an unplanned yet visually striking moment that had audiences captivated.
The look, part of Vetements’ boundary-pushing Spring/Summer 2025 collection, featured an intricately draped sheer bodysuit layered with sculptural elements. As Yai moved, one of the dramatic folds slipped out of place, momentarily revealing more than intended. However, rather than disrupt the show, the incident added to the raw, unpredictable energy of Vetements’ presentation, which has long celebrated imperfection and rebellion against traditional fashion norms.
Yai handled the moment with grace, maintaining her composure and finishing the walk to roaring applause. Social media quickly lit up, with fans praising her professionalism and speculating whether the “malfunction” was intentional, given Vetements’ penchant for performance art and subversion.
Fashion insiders were quick to frame the incident as emblematic of the show’s themes. “It was a reminder that fashion is as much about spontaneity as it is about precision,” said one attendee. “Anok turned what could have been a mishap into a moment of art.”
While wardrobe malfunctions often spell controversy, this one seemed to amplify the ethos of the brand and the artistry of the model. Anok Yai’s moment at Vetements wasn’t just a malfunction—it was fashion history in the making.
