In 2016, Italian journalist Costanza Calabrese became an internet sensation after an on-air mishap during a live TG5 broadcast.
While delivering the news, she unknowingly sat behind a transparent desk, which became visible as the camera zoomed out. The wardrobe mishap, reminiscent of Sharon Stone’s infamous “Basic Instinct” moment, quickly went viral on YouTube, gaining millions of views.
The incident sparked online reactions, with some blaming the production team for not warning her, while others joked about the situation.
Calabrese had previously experienced a similar wardrobe slip in 2014, bringing attention to the importance of professionalism and production crew responsibility in live TV.
