“She fixed the top… but totally forgot the bttm!” The French ice dance queen’s “cursed” costume strikes twice: After the infamous n!p sl!p that cost her gold in PyeongChang 2018, Gabriella Papadakis gave judges and millions of viewers an unintended “re@r view” show during her free skate finale – her derriere flashing bare during those signature spins! Jaw-dropping, mortifying, and viral all over again… was her Olympic wardrobe totally doomed? 

Byline: Olympic Wardrobe Chaos Desk | February 19-20, 2026 – Milano Cortina (flashback drama edition)

The nightmare from 2018 is back to haunt her! Gabriella Papadakis, the stunning French ice dancer (ex-partner of controversial Guillaume Cizeron), suffered what tabloids are calling her SECOND major wardrobe disaster at the Winter Olympics.

It all started in PyeongChang 2018: Just seconds into the short dance routine, her halter top unclipped during a spin with Cizeron – exposing her left n!pple to the world on live TV. She powered through like a pro (they still snagged silver with a record free skate score), but called it her “worst nightmare.” The pair lost precious points due to the distraction, and photos went mega-viral uncensored.

Then, in the free dance finale (high-neck purple dress to “cover up” the top issue), disaster doubled down: During rhythmic spins, the flowing back of her costume blew up – fully exposing her bare derriere to TV cameras and the arena! “She fixed the top but forgot the bottom!” fans joked online, turning the mishap into meme gold. The backside flash was so blatant it hit headlines worldwide: “Flashed her bum instead!” (The Sun, Mirror, NZ Herald).

Papadakis stayed composed, finishing strong – but the back-to-back humiliations proved her Olympic costumes were straight-up cursed. No ban or deduction this time (ISU rules are strict on exposure, but spins happen fast), yet the incidents cost focus and points in a razor-close competition.

Fast-forward to 2026 drama: With Cizeron’s new partner Laurence Fournier Beaudry in the spotlight (and his own sheer suit scandals), fans are dredging up these old clips amid the ongoing beef (Papadakis’ memoir accusing him of being “controlling/terrifying,” his “smear campaign” lawsuit threat). Is wardrobe karma biting back?

The moments are still shocking: Slow-mo angles show the full exposure during spins – pure unintended show! The world remains divided: “Professional resilience!” vs. “Too revealing for family TV!”
