This brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "blown away."

Rosario Dawson almost gave fans more than they bargained for when her silky purple dress got caught in a gust of wind as she strolled to the Independent Spirit Awards in Santa Monica Saturday.

Yikes!

The sea breeze almost became the see breeze. While only the Zookeeper star's stems were revealed when the split in her dress blew open, a minor fashion faux pas was accidentally shown off as well…a hole in her fishnet tights (not visible in this photo though). Whew!

Nevertheless, not even this mishap can take away from the fact that Dawson looks pretty darn hot despite of the breezy, cool conditions.
