Sara Foster turned a near-miss Spanx showing into a hilarious red carpet moment at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards — and credited her sister Erin Foster for the save. The cocreator of Nobody Wants This opened up to E! about the wardrobe drama, her glamorous Monique Lhuillier dress, and her plans to wear it again — even if fans can buy it online.
Sara Foster narrowly avoided a wardrobe malfunction at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards, turning a near-disaster into a lighthearted moment that fans will remember. The 44-year-old, known for her role as cocreator of Nobody Wants This, revealed to E!’s red carpet host Keltie Knight that a photographer pointed out her Spanx were showing through the thigh-high slit of her Monique Lhuillier gown.
“Gotta love him!” Foster exclaimed, laughing off the moment. Her white dress featured a mock neck, long sleeves, and a fitted bodice that cascaded into a cinched waist with gold hardware and a long, flowy skirt that revealed her leg. She completed the look with gold strappy heels, delicate rings, and diamond earrings.
For glam, she wore bronzed skin, contoured cheeks, filled-in eyebrows, smokey eyeshadow, long lashes, and glossy pink lips. Her blonde highlighted hair was pulled back into a half-up style with curled ends, adding to the elegance.
While chatting with E!, Foster also shared that she almost wore the same dress to the 2025 Golden Globe Awards. “I was like, ‘I want to bring that back,’” she said. She added that her team pointed out the dress was available for purchase online, but she shrugged it off. “I don’t care,” she joked.
During the red carpet, Foster also snapped photos with her sister and Nobody Wants This cocreator Erin Foster, who looked chic in a brown ensemble featuring a black beaded halter top and a bodycon silk skirt. Erin added sparkle with diamond angling earrings and silver eyeshadow, complementing her dewy skin, contoured cheeks, long lashes, and pink lips. The duo wrapped their arms around each other, creating a sweet, sisterly moment.
This year, Nobody Wants This was nominated for Best Comedy Series. Adam Brody, who plays Noah, is also up for Best Actor in a Comedy Series, and Kristen Bell (Joanne) is nominated for Best Actress in a Comedy Series.
Other stars also opened up about avoiding red carpet mishaps. Sheryl Lee Ralph, known for Abbott Elementary, shared her secret to staying comfortable in heels: “I live by lidocaine. If the shoe even has the possibility of being uncomfortable, I spray it with adhesive and get my foot in — no flip-floppage.”
For fans, the moment became a viral highlight — not just for the wardrobe mishap, but for Foster’s grace under pressure. Her ability to laugh it off, combined with her glamorous look and the sisterly bond on display, made it a standout moment on a night already packed with red carpet drama.
As for the dress, fans can now buy the Monique Lhuillier gown online — but Foster’s attitude makes it clear: she’s not here to be a fashion icon. She’s here to be Sara Foster — funny, stylish, and unapologetically herself.
