A '''wardrobe malfunction''' is a [[clothing]] failure that accidentally exposes a person's [[intimate part]]s. It is different from deliberate incidents of [[indecent exposure]] or [[exhibitionism|public flashing]]. [[Justin Timberlake]] first used the term when apologizing for the [[Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show controversy]] during the [[2004 Grammy Awards]], saying that he accidentally revealed [[Janet Jackson]]'s breast instead of just her brassiere. The phrase "wardrobe malfunction" was in turn used by the media to refer to the incident and entered [[pop culture]].<ref>{{cite news |last=Puente |first=Maria |title=Will 'Wardrobe Malfunction' Live On? |work=[[USA Today]] |date=February 4, 2004|url=https://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2004-02-03-wardrobe-malfunction-main_x.htm |access-date=October 7, 2016 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20121209063332/http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/life/people/2004-02-03-wardrobe-malfunction-main_x.htm |archive-date=December 9, 2012 |url-status=live}}</ref> There was a long history of such incidents before the term was coined and it has since become common.
