I was on a 1st date with a hot guy when my leggings broke open in a bougie cocktail bar, my choice of undies didn’t help
AN influencer has shared the details behind a first date experience that she’ll never forget.
Not only did her leggings break open in a “bougie bar,” exposing her underwear, but the style made matters worse.
Love Island season ten alum Ella Bella Barnes (@ellabellabarnes) doesn’t shy away from showing the good and bad parts of her life online.
While she was getting ready for the day, she talked about her worst first date that she was set up on when she was around 18 or 19 years old.
“I actually really fancied this guy, so I was actually kinda nervous, and he was older than me,” she said as she started to apply her makeup.
Since it was the winter, she wore a turtleneck sweater, “skin-tight leggings” with a zip at the front, and tall over-the-knee boots.
While the drinks were flowing at a “bougie cocktail bar,” she decided to go to the bathroom.
“Anyway, as I’ve gone to do the zip up, my zip has completely broken at the front, and I was wearing a neon thong,” she admitted.
She called it “any girl’s worst nightmare” and wondered how she was going to go back to the table without her older date noticing the problem.
The first thing she did was call her mother for advice and a quick solution.
“I was like, ‘What do I do?’ Like literally panicking. There was no way to fix this zip. I just had to accept that it was. It is what it is,” Ella detailed.
She told her to hold her pants together, go back in, and tell him that she had to go home before calling an Uber.
“I just had to face the embarrassment of pink neon knickers [underwear] on show, walking up this bar, holding my leggings together so down below was not on show,” she added.
The blonde influencer said that it’s a “lesson learned” for the rest of her life.
“Don’t wear anything with zips on a first date,” she said.
“Anyone else had a worse wardrobe malfunction on a first date?” she asked in the video caption.
Many related to her situation and also sympathized with her in the comments.
“Omg, what did your date think/do?” one commented.
“He laughed but completely understood. He did actually ask to see me again but I couldn’t as I was way too embarrassed to face him again,” Ella replied.
“I would have got someone to drop bottoms off to me and come to the bathroom,” a TikTok user added.
