Leigh-Anne Pinnock narrowly avoids wardrobe malfunction at Boxing Day premiere

Leigh-Anne Pinnock narrowly avoided a wardrobe malfunction as she attended the Boxing Day premiere in a VERY daring black dress on Tuesday night.

The Little Mix singer, 30, nearly flashed more than her toned legs in the high-neck gown as she hit the red carpet for her first movie which is released on December 3.

She showed off her incredible post-baby body in the skimpy backless dress after giving birth to twins on October 4.

She matched the faux-leather effect number with towering black heels as she braved the chilly temperatures at the Curzon Mayfair cinema in London. 

Leigh-Anne looked in good spirits despite her near wardrobe malfunction as she posed for the cameras with her co-star Aml Ameen who looked dapper in a navy suit.

She was later joined by her fiancé Andre Gray who wore a multi-coloured jacket and leather trousers.

Beige isn’t boring in Perrie’s Christopher Esber dress

Little Mix reunited for the premiere of Leigh-Anne Pinnock’s new film, Boxing Day, this week.

Once again, the band made stellar statements with Perrie leading the gang in this Christopher Esber maxi dress.

The ‘Bertoia’ is defined by the brand’s signature ruched silhouette and adjustable tie detail. We love how you can tailor the dress to flatter your figure.

Perrie’s dress is available to buy at NET-A-PORTER, or you can shop a similar dress by the label via our edit.

Alternatively, get the look for less with a dupe dress from House of CB or NBD. Wear your pick with gold strappy sandals and minimal jewellery to stand out from the crowd.

The premiere comes after Leigh-Anne broke down in tears over her mother on GMB on Tuesday – days after Jesy Nelson was spotted in a clinch with her ex Lucien Laviscount.   

The singer-turned-actress who is on the promo trail for her first movie Boxing Day, sobbed as she revealed her mother Deborah wouldn’t be able to attend the film’s premiere that evening.

At the end of the interview, the star said: ‘Can I just say, my mum’s watching and I know she can’t come to the premiere. But I love you so much and there’ll hopefully be so many more premieres to go to.’

‘I couldn’t refuse it. Three auditions later and I’m starring in my first movie and an all-black cast as well, it’s the first of its kind. I’m so proud to be a part of it.

She said: ‘I don’t even know how I’m functioning. I don’t know how I’m doing it.’ 

When asked if acting was now the main priority for Leigh-Anne over the band, she said: ‘Definitely not, singing is my number one passion but I do have the acting bug now. I’m just excited to keep nurturing it and see where this takes me. 

Aml also discussed how Leigh-Anne was brought into the film project, saying: ‘A friend of mine suggested Leigh-Anne. He knows Little Mix, he knows the music.

‘I saw an interview with her and was very captivated by her humanity, how honest she is. I thought if we could transfer that to the craft of acting. She was one of the most dedicated new actors I’ve ever met in my life.   

‘There’s a feeling to be seen in a way that you’ve not been seen which is your everyday normal life. It’s about celebrating what it means to be British but through another lens. It’s based on my family.’  

The interview comes in the wake of Jesy’s smitten photos with Lucien, 29, who Leigh-Anne briefly dated back in 2012.
