Michelle did it again, earning one of those worldwide tags of most relatable celebrity. The comedian and actress shared a funny moment on Instagram from the Native Son Awards, where her shoe caught the edge of her dress-a bit of a wardrobe malfunction situation. “Moments before I stepped on my dress & my titty popped out,” she captioned, much to the delight of her fans who laughed and adored the moment: Buteau stood there looking gorgeous in a flowy midnight-dark gown, her smile infectiously glowing.

Everyone, fans and celeb alike, just exploded with praise for her for keeping it real. “That happened to me one time on the subway, I’m still traumatized,” one said, while another added, “You just stay being relatable.” The official Native Son Award account chimed in: “You gave us EVERYTHING we needed at the Native Son Awards Momma!!!”

Part of the charm that endears Buteau to everyone is that she can laugh at herself. Be it backstage at the awards or at a public appearance, the woman never really takes herself seriously. And honestly? That’s energy worthy of being passed around.

The shot itself is cinematic: full-belly laughter, curls flying, and an outfit loud enough to sing on its own, even in near-disaster. A reminder that the most unforgettable times are as often hilariously running wild as they are blooming, and that’s perfectly fine.

Fans were itching to snag several tickets for free to this shifted storyline: “The caption had me deaddd,” one said. Another one declared, “I just LOVE your energy.” The not-so-familiar half of the scene leaned into Buteau’s humor: “LMAO! I was going to type how beautiful you look and now you have me cracking up with this damn caption,” another follower confessed.

It’s certainly not as if Buteau is a newcomer to turning those mortifying moments into comedic gold. She’s witty, straightforward, and has nurtured her entire career and loyal following on being brutally honest. So if that entails laughing at a wardrobe malfunction in front of thousands of people, then that’s just fine.

The Native Son Awards honor Black LGBTQ+ leaders and creatives, so the mishap makes Buteau’s presence and ability to lighten things even more special. The post was more than just funny-it was a reminder that sometimes real life gets in the way, even at so-called fancy events.

The dress, though? Well, hopefully, it was well-behaved long enough for Michelle to enjoy the evening! Because if there’s one thing Michelle Buteau knows, it’ll be bouncing back from a stumble with a standing ovation.

And honestly? We wouldn’t want it any other way.

So cheers to more unscripted moments—the laughter, the titty pops—all because if Michelle Buteau has taught us anything, it’s that the perfect is overrated!
