Marks and Spencer model Noemie Lenoir knows how to prise money out of pockets at charity auctions.
The French actress, 30, was the subject of a bidding war on stage at Milan Fashion Week when she suffered a wardrobe malfunction.
As she wheeled about on stage, attracting bids for a date, the zip at the back of her dress broke, revealing her pert derriere to the crowd.
While it would have been mortifying for most people, luckily the M&S lingerie model is well equipped to bear the incident and passed it off in light humour.
In fact, her flash succeeded in raising bids to ?10,000, leaving amFAR (American Foundation for AIDS research) as thrilled as the rest of the crowd.
It was an impromptu decision by the ex-WAG of former Chelsea star Claude Makelele to go out with the highest bidder in the room.
Among the stars to get a glimpse of her behind at the party were Donatella Versace, Janet Jackson, actress Rachel Bilson and rapper Kanye West.
Dita Von Teese, supermodel Linda Evangelista and English socialite Tamara Beckwith were also at the charity event, which succeeded in raising ?693,000 for amFAR.
Michael Jackson’s crystal-studded boots, which he planned to wear at his comeback concerts were among the other items auctionned and raised ?9,200 after being presented by his sister Janet.
Noemie’s lucky bidder has not been disclosed.

The advertising watchdog has wrinkled its nose at a skin cream ad starring Cindy Crawford, deeming it misleading.
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) found the before and after shots used in the advert, together with the text ‘30 day results’ misleadingly implied the product had a cumulative effect.
It added that Guthy-Renker’s TV Shop channel could not substantiate the implication that the melon enzyme/antioxidant ingredient in the Meaningful Beauty cream was responsible for reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles and protecting the skin against premature ageing.

When model Alice Burdeu steps in front of the camera people tend to swoon.
But it was a different story when the flame-haired winner of Australia’s Next Top Model series three met photographer Christian Blanchard.
As he was shooting her in the latest Mimco campaign, the 5′10 model wearing tiny white paper dresses and stunning Mimco accessories almost passed out.
“She had a moment on set where she almost fainted because of the lighting we were using,” Blanchard said.
“But I was telling her it was because she was head over heels and smitten with me.”The photographer who recently shot the Perth Fashion Festival campaign starring Emily Cattermole and Tom Bull revealed that the pair were in a relationship.
Following the Mimco shoot they had time apart due to Blanchard’s commitments overseas but have got together over the past week and rekindled their romantic feelings.
Blanchard is recognised as one of Australia’s top fashion photographers and has shot campaigns for Amstel, L’Oreal and Nobody denim.
Though he is based in Melbourne and Burdeu in Sydney, they would not let distance get in the way, with the plan to see each other every week, he said.
“We are madly in love in time for spring, the birds and the bees,” Blanchard said.
His best friend Jimmy Jack, a filmmaker based in Perth, said he noticed something going on with Blanchard during the Perth Fashion Festival.
“There was something fishy going on with Christian when he was over here for PFF,” Jack said.
Jack dated Search for a Supermodel winner Gemma Bidstrup for five years.
“Quite frankly he was being a terrible wingman. One he’d spilled the beans I gave him some tips on how to date a modelling show winner,” Jack said.

After living the glamorous life of a jetsetting model and celebrity, Sophie Anderton’s fall from grace was something of a shock.
And in a new interview she claims that it was childhood abuse that led her to sell her body for money after racking up a serious amount of debt with drug dealers.
The former Wonderbra girl has admitted charging wealthy businessmen ?15,000 an hour for sex to fuel her drug addiction.
And Sophie told new! magazine her descent into prostitution was a result of abuse suffered in her childhood. She said: ‘I think it’s because my past had been ripped away.
‘I was abused as a child. I was inappropriately touched up when I was eight. That was the first time. The second time was when I was 13.’
Sophie revealed she was abused by friends of her family, and that she had confided in her real father, and recently told her mother, although she hasn’t told her who it is. saying: ‘She would kill them.’
The former model also said another assault occurred when she was 17 and at a party, high on ecstasy.
She said: ‘…I was at a party, and two guys assaulted me. I don’t want to go into it too much and sound as if I am being like Jordan… but it did happen.
‘I didn’t report it because I was high on ecstasy at the time and didn’t think anyone would believe me.’
The 32-year-old has described how in 2004 she would drink a bottle of vodka every night and use cocaine in the daytime.
A ?5,000 a week cocaine habit saw Sophie soon rack up the debts, and when the money ran out, and her dealer was pursuing her for money she became desperate.
She said: ‘The coke ran out, my cash card was rejected and my dealer was ringing up demanding payments. I knew I desperately needed money – now.’
At this point Sophie was introduced to a madam who told her to dress sexily and priced her at ?10,000 to ?15,000 an hour.
Last week she claimed: ‘I’m not alone in going down this path. There is a dark side to the modelling world. At least two supermodels are on the game.’
Sophie claims she slept with just five men and earned ?50,000 to pay off her drug debts and put down a deposit on a flat.
Two weeks ago the model, who recently appeared on daytime The Jeremy Kyle Show was caught on camera using cocaine, after telling the television presenter she had been clean for two years.
The ’slip-up’ came as she had admitted herself into a psychiatric unit after experiencing bad cravings for the drug.
Sophie shot to fame when she modelled for lingerie giant Gossard in 1996 and soon hit the party scene.
She became engaged to millionaire Robert Hanson, 17 years her senior, but the relationship was over by 2000.
It was during her high profile relationship with former Chelsea goalie Mark Bosnich in 2002 that her cocaine addition became public.
