It was already a daring choice of dress for Britney Spears with its keyhole detail showing a distinct lack of bra.
But Britney Spears was clearly having trouble trying to keep her strapless black number from slipping down as she stepped out in Malibu on Monday.
The 42-year-old singer seemed to find her predicament quite amusing, and she was spotted laughing while trying to pull the dress up.

Later, the singer was again spotted attempting to hoist the frock up as she left her car to head to Cafe Havana in the beachside enclave.
The star looked casual in the ‘mullet style’ number which featured a longer back and shorter front.
She teamed the dress with flip flops, sunglasses and an oversized bag and seemed in good spirits after leaving a friend’s house earlier.

Perhaps the star’s good mood is due to her new relationship with toyboy Dave Lucado.
The pair hit Las Vegas on Sunday where they were in the audience at the Cirque du Soleil One Drop show.
According to People, the couple also enjoyed dinner at Meatball Spot at Town Square on Saturday with Britney’s manager Larry Rudolph and several friends.

A witness told the website that the couple ‘seemed happy, sitting across from each other and chatting for most of the meal,’ a witness told People.
The group went on to see a Shania Twain show at Caesars Palace.
And it seems the relationship is going well, with Dave having already been introduced to Britney’s sons Jayden James and Sean Preston.
‘The boys think of David as a fun play pal,’ an insider told People. ‘It was a big step, she’s very excited.’
