Katherine Heigl Fears Future Wardrobe Malfunction & Talks New ‘Do

Katherine Heigl admitted she is fearful of having another wardrobe malfunction.

Last month in Las Vegas, while Katherine was accepting the ShoWest Award for Female Star of the Year, Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush had to step in to hold her dress up as she gave her acceptance speech, after the strap on her red gown broke. As a result, in New York City on Thursday evening, as she prepared to accept an ASPCA Award for her work saving dogs, she told Access about how she now double checks her outfits.

“I’m really, really paranoid now after that,” the actress laughed. “Every outfit I put on, I’m like, ‘Is it all in place?’ Scary.”

As for last night’s event, where she received the Presidential Service Award, honoring her work with animals, Katherine admitted she’d like to take another pet home.

“My husband will kill me,” she said of her main squeeze, musician Josh Kelley, who is living life with his two ladies – Katherine and their daughter Naleigh – and six dogs. “I’m really trying to talk him into one more. Maybe he’ll watch all these interviews and get it.”

Katherine has more time for family now too – and that potentially seventh dog – having recently parted ways with ABC drama “Grey’s Anatomy.”

“I am really excited to be spending more time with my family,” Katherine said. “It’s been an amazing few months and we had all this beautiful time up in Utah at our second home, which is so peaceful and relaxing and you’re not hounded, you’re not watched, you’re not anything. You’re just a normal family.”

While she enjoyed her time away, Katherine said she is thankful she can come back to LA to work.

“I got to go up there and remember sort of my roots,” she said. “The beauty is that I get to come back to LA and have a career because people are interested and people care, which is a massive blessing on the other end. So, I’m very fortunate, I’m very grateful right now.”

Katherine’s mature outlook is definitely inspired, in part, by becoming a mother to daughter Naleigh last year, but also, her new brunette ‘do.

“I’m really enjoying it,” she said of the hue. “There’s something about it that feels more sophisticated. I feel like a lady. The blonde made me feel more giggly. It’s very odd.”
