Janet Jackson's Superbowl Wardrobe Malfunction Is 10 Years Old Today

Janet Jackson's Superbowl Wardrobe Malfunction Is 10 Years Old Today

Not only is Saturday 1 February Harry Styles' 20th birthday, it's also significant in the history of celebrity for a very different reason.

Today marks 10 years since the inception of 'the wardrobe malfunction', when Janet Jackson exposed her boob to a worldwide audience while live on stage with Justin Timberlake at the Superbowl.

The term was coined in the ensuing controversy, which there was rather a lot of - seems mad now when not a day seems to go by without a nip slip here or a flashbulb flash there.

This year's show looks to be a much more family-friendly affair though, with Bruno Mars taking to the stage at the halftime, so we doubt there'll be any repeat performances.

Remind yourself of Janet's embarrassing moment above...
