Lindsey Vonn suffered what’s being described as a wardrobe malfunction at the ESPY Awards on Wednesday, but no one’s buying the malfunction part.
Vonn, who returned to skiing last year after retiring in 2019 due to multiple injuries, attended the event in Los Angeles as both a nominee and presenter.
She wore a strapless Elisabetta Franchi gown with a split that went right up to her stomach, showing the maroon thong she wore beneath. As luck would have it for some people, a gust of wind showed off a bit more than she bargained for, and she had to be assisted by someone else.

Lindsey Vonn Wasn’t Fooling Anybody

As mentioned above, folks didn’t buy that it was a malfunction as they reasoned Lindsey Vonn was seeking that type of attention.
“It is no malfunction. Hey everyone look at my p***y look at my p***y…oh no I had a malfunction,” someone commented.

“Looks like she was dressed in a way to allow it to happen and get her 15 minutes in the social media cycle. Sad,” another wrote.

“How did she think that dress was designed to function?” someone else asked.

Vonn switched up her fit after the show started, joining Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson in presenting the ‘Best Play’ award to Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley.
The 40-year-old was also nominated for the ‘Best Comeback Athlete’ following her return to skiing last year, but lost to gymnast Suni Lee.
