Sara Foster makes fun of Spanx Slip at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards

Sara Foster narrowly avoided a wardrobe malfunction at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards.

Foster, 44, co-creator of Nobody wants thisopened to E! about the fashion faux pas she almost experienced during the awards ceremony. While hitting the red carpet on Sunday, January 4, which took place at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California, Foster revealed that a photographer pointed out that her Spanx were visible through the thigh-high slit of her Monique Lhuillier dress.

“Gotta love him!” she exclaimed E!‘s red carpet host Keltie Knight. Foster’s white dress featured a faux neckline, long sleeves and a fitted bodice that ended in a cinched waist with gold hardware and a long, flowy skirt that showed off her leg. Foster made her look even more glamorous with gold strappy heels, delicate rings and diamond earrings.

For glam, she wore a full beat, including bronzed skin, contoured cheeks, filled brows, smoky eyeshadow, long lashes and pink, glossy lips. Her highlighted blonde hair was pulled back into a half-updo, with curled ends.

While chatting with E!Foster also shared that she almost wore the dress to the 2025 Golden Globe Awards last January. “I was like, ‘I want to bring that back,'” she said. She noted that fans can even pick up their own Monique Lhuillier dress, which her team pointed out before she wore it. “They say, ‘It’s online, people can buy it.’ And I’m like, ‘I don’t care.’

While she was having her picture taken, Sara made sure to take a few photos with her sister and Nobody wants this co-creator Erin Fosterwho looked chic in a brown ensemble with a black beaded top complete with halter straps and a bodycon silk skirt.

Erin, 43, added a touch of sparkle to her look with diamond earrings, which she paired with silver sparkle eyeshadow dabbed onto her lids. The rest of her makeup consisted of dewy skin, contoured cheeks, long lashes, filled brows, and pink lips. Her blonde hair was parted in the middle and pinned up, with the front parts left out and curled. The duo wrapped their arms around each other as they posed for a photo.

This year, Nobody wants this was nominated for Best Comedy Series. Adam Brodywho plays Noah is also nominated for Best Actor in a Comedy Series, and Kristen Bell (Joanne) is nominated for Best Actress in a Comedy Series.

Sara isn’t the only star to openly speak out about avoiding a wardrobe malfunction. Sheryl Lee Ralph shared how she keeps her feet from hurting when she wears heels all night.

“When you walk the red carpet, it’s no time for little niggles and your shoes, sometimes they don’t fit right,” the Abbott Elementary star shared with E! “First of all, I live on lidocaine, if the shoe can even be uncomfortable. And then I spray the shoe with spray adhesive, put my foot in it and there’s no flip-flopping.”
