On Monday, Star Magazine reported that it was Jessica Simpson's faulty dress that made her cry during a tribute performance to Dolly Parton at the Kennedy Center Honors event on Nov. 3.

As she sang a version of "Nine to Five" to honor Parton, reports say she was seen on tape grabbing the strapless gown with one arm, while holding a microphone.

She was able to keep her gown up until the end of the song, but was visibly upset as she ran off stage.
