The Come and Get It hitmaker, 23, went braless for the Los Angeles prizegiving and preserved her modesty by wearing nipple covers under her semi-sheer long black gown.

However, Gomez had no idea the stickers would show through her dress when she stepped in front of the cameras on the red carpet, and she was left cringing at the wardrobe malfunction when the photos hit the Internet.

She tells People.com, "That was so embarrassing! But you live and you learn. It's unrealistic to convince people that I look flawless all the time. That's ridiculous."
