  • Janelle Monáe had the slightest wardrobe malfunction while opening the 2020 Oscars.

  • Janelle’s tuxedo shirt button came undone and she handled it like a freakin’ pro.


Introductions at awards shows are typically…not…great. But Janelle Monáe is here to change that. Everyone’s fave singer/actor/producer kicked off the show and completely KILLED it in what’s clearly the best Oscars opening performance in recent memory—and on top of that, she casually maneuvered her way through a wardrobe malfunction.

Janelle’s tuxedo shirt button popped open right when she walked out onstage, but she handled it flawlessly, simply taking a quick second to fix her shirt before continuing on with the performance. Honestly, the moment was super relatable—just ask Twitter. To quote this person on the internets: “Janelle Monáe’s button popping open, fixing it, then having a massive boob gap is REAL. That’s every button-up shirt I’ve ever tried to wear.” And to quote this other person on the internets: “Fixing her popped button is the most relatable performance of the year.”

In conclusion, GIVE JANELLE MONÁE AN OSCAR, YOU COWARDS, THERE’S NOTHING SHE CAN’T DO.
