Moments after announcing Adele’s win, it appears that Idris noticed the malfunction as he slyly held his cue cards to cover things up.

While the on stage accident was small, some eagle eyed fans did notice it while the show was airing — and couldn’t help but poke fun at the malfunction.
Another added, “Why the hell are people complaining that Idris Elba’s fly was open at The Brits? They’re acting like that’s not the best possible outcome.”

“Idris Elba president of the Gucci gang with his fly undone. I love that for him,” a third fan wrote.

Regardless of what happened, Idris didn’t seem too fazed by it all and even shared a photo from the moment — with some strategic cropping, of course!
