The former Grey's Anatomy star was on the stage to accept the Female Star of the Year Award when the strap of her red dress broke, leaving the shocked actress struggling to hold up the dress and cover her modesty.
However, Heigl continued undeterred and managed to say her thanks with a little help from host, Billy Bush, who held her strap as she finished her speech. She later laughed off the whole incident.
The 31-year-old actress recently left the hit TV show to concentrate on movie career and since then has appeared in films like The Ugly Truth with Gerard Butler, Knocked Up and 27 dresses.
Heigl will next be seen opposite Ashton Kutcher in a new romantic comedy, titled Killers. The plot features Heigl and Kutcher's characters rushing to the altar before suddenly realising their neighbours are assassins who have contracted to kill them.
