Have you ever had one of those days where the universe seems to conspire in your favor—only to throw you a curveball right out of left field? Well, that’s exactly what it felt like for Anna Kendrick at the SXSW Film & TV Festival back in March 2025. While strutting her stuff in a daring bustier and pants ensemble, the stars aligned for a wardrobe mishap that had everyone buzzing. It’s a classic case of “Oops, did that just happen?” And with her chart-topping curves getting attention on social media, it’s safe to say that even the astrological alignment couldn’t overshadow the charm of this Hollywood darling. Fast forward to 2026, where Anna, now fresh off another glamorous gala, proves that life—and style—are all about rolling with the punches. Curious to see how she handled it? Let’s dive in!

Anna Kendrick caused a stir as she suffered a red-carpet mishap last year. The Pitch Perfect actress put on a stylish display in a bustier and pants combo at the SXSW Film & TV Festival in March 2025, when she braved going braless in a low-cut top. Flaunting her petite frame, Anna wound up inching her way toward a wardrobe malfunction when her top slipped down, but she did use her hands to salvage the situation. A busty photo of the Hollywood star fixing her outfit went viral, and it was here that fans appeared to appreciate her curves. Anna, 41, is fresh from a more recent red carpet appearance, having just attended the 2026 Academy Museum Gala.
Scroll for the photos. One showed Anna speaking to a Variety reporter, with one moment showing her attention shift to her sequin-adorned, black bustier top. Going strapless in a plunging, fitted top with seashell-style accents and a V-shaped cut down to her navel, the pint-sized star went braless for her outing, adding black pants for a chic finish.
Layering on two necklaces that further drew attention to her chest, Anna stunned in her waist-cinched look, teaming her two-piece with heels. The oops moment saw Anna’s bustier slip somewhat down at the chest, with the actress left scrambling to protect her modesty.
Over 50 Reddit users have now liked a reply reading: “Those are definitely a lot bigger than she usually lets on.” Disagreeing, another wrote: “I don’t know where u have been. They always were.” A third got cheeky, saying: “Insanely perky,” with a further fan floored as they wrote: “Wow.”
Fans likely haven’t forgotten Anna Kendrick’s pandemic, Starbucks-themed Instagram post. Joking about her 5’1” frame as she wore a tassel minidress and platform heels in 2021, Anna told her fans: “I’m pleased to announce that during quarantine I grew ten inches and am now officially A Tall. (It’s not the camera angle or the shoes. I will not be taking questions.) Sincerely, A Tall.” Anna isn’t the only 40+ star whose figure will turn heads.
Winking at the camera in this island girl snapshot, Anna Kendrick straddled a bicycle during her 2020 vacation, looking cute in a lilac, floral-printed bikini and matching shorts. “Moments before riding (crashing) a bike for the first time since I was 11,” she amusingly captioned the Instagram share.
