Ilona Mahercontinues to prove why she’s the most relatable — and lovable — person on the Internet.

On Sept. 3, Maher posted abehind-the-scenes clipof her greeting crew members while wearing a black one-piece with a neckline so low it exposed one side of her chest.

Like a pro though, she held onto her chest while introducing herself to the crowd without suffering from what could’ve easily been a nip-slip.

Maher didn’t make the situation awkward, but rather handled it with style and her signature humor.

“Welcome, please come in. I got a tit out, don’t worry about it,” she joked while extending one arm out for a handshake while using her other to cover her chest.

She captioned the video with, “How I prefer to greet people.”
