Jenny McCarthy spilled the tea on a hilarious red carpet mishap from her first (and only) Academy Awards appearance in 1997. During her appearance on "Live with Kelly and Mark," she revealed a surprising fashion faux pas involving a designer Valentino gown.

From Grocery Store to Oscars Red Carpet

McCarthy, reminiscing with Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, recounted the whirlwind experience. "They invited the It girl each year," she explained, referencing her status as a rising star at the time. "Literally a year and a half before, I was working at a Polish grocery store," she added, highlighting the contrast of her unexpected Oscars invitation.

Valentino Dress...Worn Backwards?

Confessing her limited experience with designer fashion, McCarthy revealed a major blunder. "They put me in a Valentino dress," she began, "I didn't know I wore the dress backwards!"

The sheer gown, embellished with a jeweled neckline and cascading white roses, became notorious for the unintentional mistake.

A Run-In with Valentino Himself

McCarthy even recalled thanking Valentino Garavani, the legendary designer, for letting her "borrow" the dress. However, her red carpet gratitude quickly turned comical. "'You're wearing it backwards,'" she quoted Valentino, leaving her mortified.

Despite the gaffe, McCarthy takes it in stride.

Looking Back with Humor

Despite the gaffe, McCarthy takes it in stride. She jokingly acknowledged the lingering aroma of Polish sausage, a nod to her past job, which perhaps masked the designer's intention.
