When Madonna performed at the very first MTV Video Music Awards in 1984, her shoe fell off and when she tried to retrieve it, she flashed the audience.
In 1984, Madonna performed “Like A Virgin” live for the first time at the very first VMA Awards and unknowingly flashed the audience, causing controversy. According to Billboard, Madonna wanted a white Bengal tiger on stage during her performance, but instead emerged from a 17-foot wedding cake.
The publication reported that when Madonna was taking the cake down, one of her heels fell off and when she tried to pick it up, she suffered a wardrobe malfunction.
“So I thought, ‘Well, I’m just going to pretend I wanted to do this’ and dove on the floor and rolled over,” she said. “And, when I grabbed the shoe, the dress came up. And the briefs were visible.”
