On Monday, Aretha Franklin's representative said that when the Respect singer
entered the White House for an event connected with the Kennedy Center
Honors, she suffered a bit of a wardrobe malfunction. The upper half of
her pink gown - with its white beaded bodice - wasn't hooked properly
and partially slid down to her waist, exposing "her foundation-wearing
girls in all their Victoria's Secret glory!"
Fortunately,
Franklin's escort for the evening acted quickly, guiding her to a tented
area and helping fasten the gown so she could party on with President
Obama and first lady Michelle Obama, 2012 honorees Buddy Guy, Dustin
Hoffman, David Letterman, Natalia Makarova and the members of Led
Zeppelin.
