Peek-a-boo: Marion Cotillard almost reveals a bit too much flesh as see-through panel in BAFTA dress nearly shows behind

Mind the gap: Marion Cotillard almost revealed a little too much flesh on the BAFTAs red carpet as a see-through panel in her dress left her legs on show

The British film industry's eyes were firmly on the red carpet of the EE BAFTAs on Sunday night.
And a onlookers may have got a bit more of 37-year-old Marion Cotillard than they bargained for as she arrived.
A see-through panel in her dress almost revealed her derriere as she walked the red carpet at London's Royal Opera House before the event.

Showing some thigh: Marion's bright yellow gown slipped down to show off the top of her legs

The French actress opted for a striking yellow Christian Dior gown for the star-studded event.
The brightly coloured dress came down to the floor but left her bare shoulders and arms on display.
She wore a simple silver Chopard necklace which glittered under the lights illuminating the red carpet outside the venue.

Covering her up: Marion was assisted by a man holding an umbrella as she made her way down the red carpet but while she was under cover from the rain, her thigh was left on show by her dress

And it may have been more than the stand-out colour of the gown which turned heads as she walked inside - a panel at the back of the garment almost revealed her behind as she walked along the red carpet.
Fellow actress Jennifer Lawrence, 22, found herself in a similar situation at Screen Actors Guild Awards last month.
Her tiered Christian Dior dress appeared to rip and reveal the top of her legs as she went to collect her prize for Best Female Actor in a Leading Role.

All part of the design? While attending the BAFTAs on Sunday Marion found herself in a similar situation to Jennifer Lawrence who suffered a wardrobe malfunction at last month's Screen Actor Guild Awards but designers insist it was intentional

However, if Marion's yellow dress is anything like Jennifer's it may have been intentional as designers of Jennifer's outfit insist the see-through panel is meant to be there.
A spokesperson for Dior recently told the MailOnline: 'The dress is made of different levels of tulle and satin and that is what viewers saw when Jennifer lifted her dress slightly.
'It was not ripped and there was no malfunction - it was the design of the gown.'
