"I didn't think 'I'm going to expose myself at the Oscars,' that was not the idea. It was not a strategy or anything."

Blanco continued, "Because I had the swimsuit underneath, I didn't even think much of it, but when I was walking forward I grabbed the dress because I realized it was slipping and it was moving up. When I was watching the show people were texting me and saying 'You are like everywhere, they are saying you don't have underwear,' and I was like, 'What? Oh my god, this is so embarrassing.'"
