Alec Baldwin's ex-wife, actress Kim Basinger, revealed she nearly had a fashion slip-up at the 1999 Academy Awards. She shared on social media the story behind her Oscars wardrobe malfunction.

Kim Basinger is laughing off what could have been an extremely embarrassing moment. 

The actress and ex-wife of Alec Baldwin took to Instagram Thursday to share a throwback photo of her at the Oscars in 1999, the year she had a wardrobe malfunction in front of millions.
