If there's one thing history has taught us through the action (or inaction) of Janet Jackson, Tara Reid and many more is that the nip slip is a Hollywood right of passage.

Miley Cyrus joined the nip slip gang while wearing a surprisingly unrevealing outfit. Unfortunately, the precariously placed cutouts on her top found themselves in a right-place-right-time situation that led to the "wardrobe malfunction." (We doubt, though, that Miley lost must sleep over the incident considering her risque Instagram account and participation in the #FreeTheNipple campaign.) 

As long as there are women trying to get media attention, we're certain to see more nip slips. Until the next one, let's take a walk down (accidental) flashers lane ...

Miley Cyrus
These days, Miley leaves very little to the imagination, almost making this photo (her original "slip") null and void. While in France, fans got more than a wave hello from Miley but we can get more than that on her Instagram.

Janet Jackson
Who can forget the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show in? Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake shocked the world on one of the biggest stages when there was a wardrobe malfunction. We'll leave it up to you to decide whether or not it was planned.

Emma Watson
Emma suffered a nip slip while she was going for tasteful side-boob at her Perks of Being a Wallflower. premiere. Based on her reaction, it's safe to categorize this one as an accident. When asked about the incident she said, "It doesn't show, but I was absolutely terrified."

Jennifer Lopez
The Oscars is an elegant event, but even a classy affair couldn't stop an inevitable nip slip. While Jennifer Lopez was announcing the award "Best Makeup" with Cameron Diaz, we're pretty sure her nipple made an appearance too.

Jessica Simpson
Taking a look back, it seem to prove that young pop stars are predestined to get initiated into the "nip slip club." Jessica Simpson, all smiles, is seemingly oblivious to her right boob gone rogue.

Britney Spears
Oops, she did it again! This time the pop star showed more than intended when the sleeve of her green dress slipped, giving a glimpse of her right nip.

Alison Pill
This was more than just a "nip slip." It was more like a "tech slip" when actress Alison Pill's nude selfie found it's way onto Twitter. She later explained that she took the pic to heat up a long-distance relationship she was in at the time and that she had zero intention of it being a public portrait.

Mariah Carey
Mariah's cup runneth over during her performance at the So So Def anniversary concert. Like Miley, she didn't end up bare-breasted, but even a minor nip slip is still, nonetheless, a nip slip.

Nicki Minaj
Nicki gave the morning talk-show circuit something to talk about when she had a wardrobe malfunction during a GMA concert. She later shut down rumors that it was staged when she told ABC's Nightline, "I would never, ever do something like that on purpose."

Lady Gaga
With all of her avant-garde costumes, maybe a Gaga nip slip was inevitable. At the 2011 CFDA Awards, her low-cut black corset dress wasn't enough to cover the girls. Not one to embarrass easily, later in the night she showed up to an after party wearing a sheer body suit, black nipple covers and a spiked G-string. Baby, she was born this way.

Tara Reid
While arriving on the red carpet for Diddy's 35th birthday party, Tara gave an unexpected gift. Her slinky black Dior gown became even sexier after a strap fell down revealing her right breast for all to see.

Miranda Kerr
After all of her nude-photo shoots, are we surprised that she suffered a double nip-slip on the red carpet? Granted, when she's modeling Miranda is well aware of her state of dress, whereas here she momentarily forgot how the layering on her dress worked when she went to adjust her hair

Khloe Kardashian
This one just goes to show that no matter how finely manicured your reality image may be, nip slips can happen to anyone! While doing an appearance with sis Kourtney on Fox and Friends, Khloe's right nipple stole the show for six whole minutes. When you're filming a segment for that long, shouldn't a producer say something?

Kirsten Dunst
Sometimes bikini tops have a way of not doing their job after a big wave comes along. Straps next time, K? Yes?

Kourtney Kardashian
Kourt shared this sexy selfie after sharing a cryptic messaging possibly regarding Ex Scott Disick's recent partying. Show him what's he's missing girl!
