Oh dear! Liv Tyler narrowly missed flashing her underwear as she left her New York apartment for the premiere of her new show The Leftovers on Monday

Liv was just able to grab the hem of her dress in nick of time as she walked up some stairs.

Realising how close she had come to making her private parts not so private, the star pulled a sheepish grin as she headed to her waiting car.

The actress could not have really expected a wardrobe malfunction, as her frock was hardly an ultra mini dress.

For the premiere of her HBO show, Liv donned a just above the knee black and blue long sleeved dress.

The unusual high necked two toned dress, featured fringing starting at her shoulder and ending at the troublesome hemline, delineating the two shades and hiding a sheer panel that showed an occasion flash of skin.

With the dress already making a statement on the red carpet, the actress kept her accessories simple wearing a pair of black pointed pumps and matching blue drop earrings.

The star made her look even more glamorous styling her long glossy brown locks to one side and in waves and wearing heavily lined eyes with a pink lipstick.

Liv was joined on the red carpet by her Leftovers co-star Justin Theroux who also bought along his fiancee Jennifer Aniston.

In the new show, Liv plays Meg Abbott who is busy planning her wedding when a strange cult targets her in the fictional New York town of Mapleton.

The town was once quiet and nondescript but, like other suburban centres, is far from quite anymore after two per cent of the world’s population mysteriously disappears.

The 10 episode series follows the town’s citizens three years after what many believe may have been the rapture and looks at how those left behind deal with the horrifying incident.

It premieres on HBO on June 29.
