The perils of high fashion! Maggie Q suffers a wardrobe malfunction as her daring dress flies open in the wind at Allegiant premiere

Slit to her waist, it was a daring dress by anyone's standards.

But while it was the perfect choice for posing on the red carpet, Maggie Q's delicate Reem Acra gown was not so suited to the blustery New York weather.

Caught by a gust of cold wintry wind, the long floaty silk creation flew open as the actress headed home from the Manhattan premiere of The Divergent Series: Allegiant on Monday.

The Hawaiian beauty is perhaps not used to coping with such inclement weather.

However Maggie, born Margaret Denise Quigley, took the mishap in her stride, pulling the dress around her with a laugh as she made haste to get out of the cold.

The 36-year-old had attended the movie theatre with her fiancé of 14 months, Dylan McDermott.

Flash some fringe like Maggie Q

Maggie Q shows off her pin thin legs in an otherwise demur Reem Acra gown from his Fall 2016 collection for the red carpet premier of Allegiant.

While the satin, lace and fringe embellished gown covers quite a bit, once the person wearing it moves, you'll see the dramatic slit to the hip. This dress is all about movement.

What's more, fringing has never been more on-point as it has this year, so we're loving this dress as the perfect gala number.

Dylan was better dressed for the cold rainy evening, in a suit and leather rain jacket.

He had earlier proved the perfect companion to his beautiful wife-to-be, posing happily at her side as she soaked up the attention.

Maggie plays Tori in the action movie, the third part in the hugely successful Divergent franchise, which has amassed $586M worldwide thus far.

Like the first two movies Allegiant stars Shailene Woodley as heroine Beatrice 'Tris' Prior, along with Noami Watts, Ansel Elgort and Zoe Kravitz.

Got the memo: Maggie Q - who plays Tori - posed with her fiancé of 14 months, Dylan McDermott
