Pia Miller's awkward Melbourne Cup wardrobe malfunction

It was her first appearance since announcing her engagement to boyfriend Tyson Mullane over the weekend.

But Home and Away star Pia Miller suffered a rather unfortunate wardrobe malfunction at the Melbourne Cup in Melbourne.

Holding hands with her new fiancé, the stunning 34-year-old was the victim of some awkwardly placed stitching across the front of her dress.

The beauty was dressed to impress in an olive green figure-hugging dress at Flemington Racecourse, with the bottom turning into a flowy mesh skirt.

She matched her eye-popping dress with a wide-brimmed black hat and matching pointy, black heels.

On Saturday night Pia took to Instagram to reveal that her love, Tyson had popped the question.

“In a hundred lifetimes, In a hundred worlds, In any version of reality - I’d find you & I’d choose you. Yes today Yes always,” Pia wrote in the caption.

Both Pia and Tyson shared snaps on social media to mark the happy occasion, with Tyson’s post revealing how he got down on one knee to pop the question.

Surrounded by the most romantic forest setting, complete with candles and fairy lights, it was clear by the look on Pia’s face that it was a great surprise.

She was overjoyed and clasped her hands to her face, sporting a beaming smile in the photos.
