Sports reporter Taylor Rooks speaks out on her unfortunate red carpet wardrobe malfunction

Taylor Rooks has spoken out on her viral outfit at last year's GQ Creativity Awards, as she explained the look to Angel Reese.

Rooks arrived to the event in a sheer green dress, which became a trending topic online after viewers thought they spotted more than Rooks intended to show.

'Everyone online is like 'oh my good, look at Taylor's nipples'... I am not showing you my nipples!,' Rooks said on 'Unapolgetically Angel.'

In reality, the Prime Video host and reporter explained that she had put on pasties in an attempt to cover up.

'I went to the GQ Creativity Awards. But the dress was a little bit sheer. So I put pasties on with the dress,' she explained to Reese.

Rooks explained that she logged online afterwards to find herself trending.

'It was this whole thing... it was crazy.'

The episode has not halted Rooks' upward trajectory in sports media, as she was announced as the lead host for Amazon's NBA Coverage in April.

She had already been contributing to the company's Thursday Night Football coverage as a features reporter.

Rooks had previously worked for TNT and Bleacher Report (under Turner Sports), where she contributed NBA coverage and interviews.

Before that she worked for the Big Ten Network, SNY and CBS Sports Network.

Rooks married husband Shane Lowry in July at a star-studded ceremony in New York.

The event was attended by the likes of Saquon Barkley, Kevin Durant and rapper Jack Harlow.

Rooks and Prime Video are preparing for their first season of broadcasting the NBA, after the streamer acquired 66 regular season games in the latest broadcasting deal for the league. 

'Maaaaaan this is going to be FUN,' Rooks wrote on Instagram ahead of the NBA season starting next week. 'See you October 24th.'
