The show's emcee, Billy Bush, swooped in and held Heigl's strap in place as she finished her speech. Heigl later secured the strap with a safety pin. In non-fashion emergency news, the actress said that her new dark 'do is for her role as a young female bounty hunter in the movie adaptation of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum book series.
"She's a very specific kind of girl, and I didn't want to disappoint the fans because I know what it's like when your favorite book gets made into a movie and it's not what you had hoped," Heigl told E! prior to her strap snap. "I wanted to go out there and show the fans I'm committed to Stephanie."
