Lea Michele accidentally flashes her nipple as her plunging dress slips open after Elton John Oscars

GLEE star Lea Michele has been left a little red-faced after accidentally flashing her nipple following Sunday night's Oscars.

Lea, 31, had climbed into a cab to head to dinner once Elton John's 2018 Oscar party had finished when she slipped out of her incredibly low-cut dress.

The star didn't appear to notice at first, before quickly covering her modesty by rearranging her frock.

Earlier in the night, Lea had posed for some very saucy Instagram selfies while travelling in the car to Elton's AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party.

The singer and actress looked seductively at the camera, while letting her dress do all the talking, before sharing the footage with her fans online.

She also captioned the shots "she bangs", in reference to her new fringe.

Once at the exclusive showbiz party, held in West Hollywood, Lea showed off her slender figure while posing on the red carpet.

Her black dress, designed by La Perla, featured a spray of heavy gold sequins down one side and, along with the plunging neckline, it had a dramatic thigh split too.

The actress appeared confident as she posed for the sea of waiting photographers.

Lea wasn't the only star who dared to bare at Elton's bash either, as Heidi Klum and Adriana Lima also flashed the flesh on the red carpet.

Meanwhile, on Saturday, The Sun revealed how Elton had to cut short his press run before the party after having minor surgery on his knee.

The superstar limped into the event after a brief photo opportunity and instead held interviews inside while sat down.

A spokeswoman for the singer said: “He has a thing going on with his knee. He is quite uncomfortable. He has had a minor procedure.”
