Hayden Panettiere Needs a Little Help

Seems like those stylish black pumpswore with her super short dress caused a near wardrobe malfunction moment as the 19-year-old made her way to the Conde Nast Media Group’s 2008 Fashion Rocks at Radio City Music Hall in New York City Friday evening.

The Heroes star needed a little assistance getting down the stairs outside her Manhattan hotel.

Fashion Rocks will air on Tuesday in a two-hour special on CBS. Proceeds will benefit Stand Up To Cancer, a program established by the Entertainment Industry Foundation to raise money for cancer research.

Stand Up To Cancer held a live telethon that aired simultaneously on ABC, NBC and CBS on Friday night.
