| The general term for all kinds of unanticipated exposure of bodily parts is '''wardrobe malfunction'''. The word became famous after [[Janet Jackson]]'s boob slip at the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show on [[February 1]], [[2004]], when Jackson's spokesman Stephen Huvane explained that the incident ''"was a malfunction of the wardrobe; it was not intentional."''<ref name="cnn">{{cite web | title = Apologetic Jackson says 'costume reveal' went awry | work = CNN.com | publisher = Associated Press | date = 2004-02-03 | url = http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/02/02/superbowl.jackson/ | accessdate = 2008-09-01}}</ref> The word was nominated word of the year in [[2005]].<ref name="word">{{cite web | url = http://www.americandialect.org/2004_Words_of_the_Year_Final_Vote_.pdf | format = PDF | title = Word of the Year | publisher = American Dialect Society | year = 2005 | accessdate = 2008-09-01}}</ref>

| In the beginning, nipple slips mostly happened on fashion catwalks when designs became looser and more daring in the [[1990s]]. In the following years and with the expansion of the internet, more and more pictures of [[celebrity]] nipple slips circulated, either shot by paparazzi or at official events. The pictures, though often of poor quality, were sought-after and popular, especially when showing [[glamour models]] or other persons who generally did not model nude.

Many of them also started to openly wear [[transparent]] clothing in public, knowing that their breasts would be visible.
