Red carpet events are an excuse for the biggest stars to show off their unique styles and promote their brands. However, things don't always go according to plan. Sometimes they end up tripping down the stairs, losing their jewelry, or even flashing the cameras! Celebrities really are just like us...
Jason Derulo
In 2015, Jason Derulo took quite a fall from grace. No, not his music career (although that has been pretty under wraps lately) but his entire body. The American singer fell down all of the stairs at the Met Gala. Some thought he had done the damage on purpose to promote his album!
Katy Perry
Katy Perry has a lot of cake on her bottom, but not in the way you might expect! While performing at the 2008 MTV Latin America Music Awards, Perry finished one of her songs by jumping into a giant birthday treat. While hilarious, it was also painful because when she tried to make her exit, she slipped and fell on some icing.
Kristen Stewart
Back in 2009, Kristen Stewart was living at the center of Twilight's fame. In fact, she even won the Golden Popcorn at the MTV Music Awards for Best Female Performance. When the starlet started to leave the stage, she not-so-gracefully fumbled the award and dropped it on the ground. Thankfully, those popcorns don't break easily!
Yulia Rybakova
Russian model Yulia Rybakova is a well-known plus-size model who prides herself on empowering women of all shapes and sizes. When another attendee stepped on her beautiful red gown by accident at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival, it didn't Rybakova from flashing her gorgeous smile. All was forgiven, and they ended up with this great pic!
Melissa Joan Hart
Melissa Joan Hart has been in the limelight for most of her life, so you would think she knows her way around an event. At the premiere of Frozen though, Hart was caught with pie on her face...or in this case, makeup. She totally forgot to blend her powder into her foundation!
Jennifer Garner
Jennifer Garner has one of the sweetest faces in Hollywood, but she seriously risked messing up that face with this fall. Being a celeb comes with certain inevitable social faux pas, and when Jen fell at the 2013 Oscars, it was very on-brand. That's just classic Jennifer!
Adam Levine & Behati Prinsloo
Adam Levine and his wife Behati Prinsloo are inseparable, as you can see from this image. The world got a quick glimpse of more than they bargained for at the 2015 Vanity Fair Oscar Party when Prinsloo's dress slipped right off her chest. Luckily, Adam was there to keep the cameras from also flashing.
Tre Cool
American rock band, Green Day, has a drummer who goes by the name Tre Cool. however, nothing was less cool than when the artist tumbled right onto the red carpet. Really named Frank Wright, this musician attended the Europe Music Awards of 2019 when the mistake happened. He had to wipe off his pants and his pride...
Rami Malek
Rami Malek is one of the most esteemed actors of his generation. After sweeping the Oscars in 2019 thanks to his performance as Freddie Mercury in 'Bohemian Rhapsody,' Malek was excited to take home a trophy. He won the Oscar for Best Actor and made his way to the stage for his heartfelt speech. Unfortunately, Malek missed most of the steps to the stage!
Jason Segal
Jason Segal is a man of the people, but janitorial services might be better received after the event has happened. While smiling and waving at the Oscars, Segal was interrupted by the cleaning staff who caught wind of a messy carpet. Employing classic Segal facials, the actor threw up this hilarious face to cameras.
Angelina Jolie
Angelina Jolie might be one of the most perfect people to walk the earth, but this saucy dress slit caused quite a commotion online. While attending the 2012 Academy Awards in this beautiful dress, people couldn't help but notice how exposed her leg was. The Angelina Leg became a meme almost overnight!
Ashley Graham
Ashley Graham is one of the most famous plus-size models in the world right now. She frequently uses her platform to advocate for women of all sizes. In 2017, Graham was at the TIME 100 Gala when the red carpet caught her slipping. The star tripped on her own dress and took quite a tumble, but at least tabloids got this picture!
Princess Mary
At the 2014 Bambi Media Awards in Germany, the Crown Princess of Denmark fell from grace, but not in the way audiences might expect. The Princess was going to accept an award for her dutiful charity work, but she lost her way (or her balance). The royal family member took a bit of a stumble, but thankfully she didn't drop the trophy!
Christoph Waltz
Christoph Waltz, better known to fans as Hans Landa from 'Inglourious Basterds', is renowned for his intelligent acting style that is so impressive that it can catch people off guard. The actor switches from comical to dramatic in an instant. However, at the 2018 Cannes Festival, he acted a little...weird. He pretended to have a limp for the whole show!
Leslie Mann and Cameron Diaz
Leslie Mann is not only an excellent actress but also a hilarious guest! It makes sense, seeing as she is married to comedy director Judd Apatow, but maybe not for long. During the 2014 premiere of 'The Other Woman,' a movie which she stars in alongside blondie Cameron Diaz, Mann got a little handsy. She made a grab for Diaz's butt!
Reese Witherspoon and Felicity Jones
Who doesn't love Reese Witherspoon? Well, after this awkward exchange, maybe Felicity Jones! The actresses met up at one red carpet event, they made for a very uncomfortable moment when instead of reaching for a hand, Reese reached for Felicity's wrist. Not only did it probably feel strange, but the photo was even odder!
Kim, Kanye, and Amy Schumer
Kim and Kanye are the most influential power couple in the age of social media. However, that didn't stop comedian Amy Schumer from stealing their spotlight in this picture. At the 2015 TIME Gala, Amy jumped on the ground in front of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. She claimed that she wanted to see how the couple would react to her stunt. Clearly, they didn't care.
Marion Cotillard
French actress Marion Cotillard is not only drop-dead gorgeous, but she is also just dropping! Well known for her dedication to grace, the Cannes Film Festival of 2018 challenged this expectation. The starlet noticed that one of her earrings had fallen out during the press run. She had to bend down while sporting a tight, white jumpsuit. She did her best...
Jennifer Lawrence
Jennifer Lawrence loves to be the funniest girl in the room, but this title comes with some consequences. Known for starring in the Hunger Games movie franchise, Lawrence was spotted making this odd face at the London premiere of the series movie, Catching Fire. It was later explained that one of her co-stars had accidentally stood on her foot!
Heidi Klum
Heidi Klum is a TV host, a worldwide fashion model, and the subject of one of the worst fails in Hollywood's photographic history. In 2008, Klum got to host the Emmy Awards. She and co-host Tom Bergerson had a bit planned where Klum would faint and fall in Tom's arms. Tom, as you probably can guess, messed up the bit and let the starlet drop.
Hayden Panettiere
Hayden Panettiere, famous for shows like Nashville and Heroes, took a tumble at the 2014 Met Gala. The Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art is a well-known event for fashion lovers everywhere. Celebrities are honored with some of the most gorgeous gowns, suits, and costumes. Panettiere's dress was sadly a little too big for her feet to manage...
America Ferrera
A Ukrainian journalist named Vitalii Sediuk decided that the best place to pull a prank would be at the premiere for the sequel of 'How to Train Your Dragon.' Not only that, but he chose America Ferrera as his subject. Sediuk tried to burrow himself inside of Ferrara's poofy dress skirt. Luckily, he was escorted out by security.
Jennifer Lawrence
Jennifer Lawrence's incredible acting skills won her the Oscar for Best Actress for her role in 'Silver Linning's Playbook.' To accept the award, the star wore a ball gown that is not easily forgotten. When she got up to receive her award, she tripped up the stairs! She was so excited to get the 2013 honor that she rushed the stage.
Jon Hamm
Jon Hamm is one of Hollywood's most gorgeous A-listers, but even he is not without fault. After his role in 'Mad Men' as Don Draper, Hamm won the 2015 Emmy Award for Best Actor in a Drama Series. Hamm tried to jump on stage to show his excitement but didn't take into account how tight his suit really was. Oops!
Helen Mirren
Helen Mirren is one of England's top actresses, and for obvious reasons. However, even acclaimed acting legends have their fair share of stumbles. While at a film festival in Berlin a few years ago, the then 69-year-old tripped and fell over the red-carpeted stairs. At least it looked good with her green dress!
Emma Thompson
Emma Thomspon, she's just like us! The British star fell to the ground in 2013 at the TLC Chinese Theater in Hollywood. Thompson was hand-printing on cement as many celebs do when they're being honored, but she fell while she was kneeling! At least she was a little bit closer to the ground by then...
Kristen Stewart
K-Stew knows the pain of walking in high heels. The actress was photographed removing her expensive Louboutin heels during the press section of a red carpet event. Though celebrities are pretty much trained to sport glamorous looks all the time, Stewart decided that her high heeled reign had finally come to an end.
Lindsey Lohan
Lindsey Lohan is seemingly always down to party, but rarely is she down while still at a party! Back in 2014, 'Mean Girls' star fell to the ground while promoting her movie at an Italian film festival. It was made even more embarrassing by the fact that she could not easily stand up. Oh, poor Lindsey...
John Travolta and Idina Menzel
John Travolta had one of the most perplexing actions of the 2015 Oscars. While presenting an award together, Travolta grabbed the face of Idina Menzel and turned it toward himself. It was strange to watch, but it got even worse. Later on, the actor completely mispronounced the Broadway star's name!
Rihanna and Stella McCartney
No one does eclectic fashion better than Rihanna, which is why a rip from Stella McCartney wasn't such a huge deal for the singer. While walking the red carpet at the 2014 Met Gala, the singer wore a white dress designed by Stella McCartney, who accidentally ripped it! McCartney said the dress got caught on her heel, oops!
Katherine Heigel
Katherine Heigel might have been all smiles during this event, but inside, she was totally freaking out! While presenting at the Las Vegas ShoWest convention in 2010, Heigel had quite a fashion faux pas. Her strap broke off her dress, revealing a very scandalous look. Laugh it off, Katherine...
Jennifer Garner
At the 2006 Oscars, garner had one hilarious hiccup while walking the stage. The actress was sauntering towards the mic to present the award for Best Soundtrack when things went awry. While walking over, her high heeled legs tripped on the back of her gown. Thankfully, she stayed upright!
Camilla Cabello
Since leaving Fifth Harmony, Camilla has become quite a star in her own right. However, at the 2019 Grammys, she might have preferred having her girls with her once again. Her short skirt got stuck around her waist. The result was exposing more of Cabello than just her singing voice.
Emma Thompson
Emma Thompson isn't just a dramatic actress, she's also apparently a comedy genius. In 2017, Thompson was attending the premiere of 'The Children Act,' in London along with fellow actress Hayley Atwell. Thompson decided to play a quick joke on Atwell by surprising her with a weird hug. Hilarious!
Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj, Ariana Grande, and Jessie J once joined forces to make the song "Bang Bang".

Melissa Leo

Elsa Hosk
Victoria’s Secret's Swedish model Elsa Hosk had a small red carpet mishap in 2019. At a Venice film festival press walk, Hosk lost one of her very expensive earrings. She decided to kneel down to pick it up, but she did it in such a beautiful and cheery way that it looked actually...cute!
Ariana Grande
Back when she was a Nickelodeon star, Ariana Grade was walking all colors of carpets. While walking the pink carpet at the 2012 Teen Choice Awards, Grande was wearing a poofy skirt. While adorable, it was not the smartest choice for one of LA's windest days. Paparazzi caught this embarrassing moment.

Michael Cera
Leave it to Michael Cera to make the most uncomfortable yet hilarious picture in human history. While attending the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, the Superbad actor fell to the ground in slow-motion. Catalina Sandino tried to help him down, but by the time she got there, it was too late...
Karolina Kurkova
While attending the New York City Ballet Gala in 2012, Karolina Kurkova was wearing a gorgeous red gown. The dress came complete with lots of draping fabric as well as a long cape. The cape was stepped on by another guest and nearly choked Kurkova. No capes!
Woody Allen and Scarlett Johansson
At the premiere for Scarlett Johansson's 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona' in 2008, director Woody Allen was taken aback by the actress's stunning...looks. In fact, he was caught in several photographs checking out the Johansson's...looks. Sorry Woody, the camera lens never lies...
John Travolta
John Travolta, once upon a time, played teen hottie Danny Zuko in 'Grease.' At the 2015 Oscars though, Travolta was just weird when tried to kiss Scarlett Johansson on the cheek. It was not comfortable to see, and probably even worse to experience. Sorry, Scarlett...
Jennifer Lawrence
Jennifer Lawrence is beautiful, but she's never claimed to be graceful. At the 2018 Oscars, the actress lifted up her dress so she could easily get a few rows back. Going around big groups of people just seemed like too much work when there was a way easier method right in front of her!
Bradley Cooper
It all happened at the Screen Actors Guild Awards in 2014. Bradley Cooper was joined by Michael Pena and Mandy Patinkin, just having a casual chat between friends. Ukrainian journalist called Vitalii Sediuk grabbed the actor's legs as a very strange prank. Good one, Sediuk...
Jessica Alba
Jessica Alba can do it all, and that includes making a red carpet fumble into a perfect modeling opprotunity. At the Teen Choice Awards back in 2006, Alba fell to the ground on the red carpet. She smiled the whole time and turned an awkward accident into a work of art.

Taylor Swift and Kanye
In one of the most insane award show mishaps in history, Kanye interrupted Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2009. Taylor Swift won for the best music video of the year, beating out Beyonce. Kanye thought she was undeserving of the honor, so he stormed the stage to share his opinions...
Petra Nemcova

Trey Parker and Matt Stone
Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of the hilarious animated comedy South Park, once donned some dresses for a red carpet event. While walking the red carpet at the 2000 Oscars, Parker and Stone put on gowns, wigs, sparkly flip flops, and became the envy of everyone there...or maybe not!
Alysia Reiner
Alysia Reiner, known for her roles on 'Orange Is the New Black,' and 'How to Get Away With Murder' was at the 2015 Screen Actors Guild Awards in a stunning red dress.

Justin Timberlake
Photobomb alert! Justin Timberlake took advantage of realizing that he was standing behind La La Land actress Emma Stone during an interview. He flashed the camera this hilarious face before making his way off camera. Stone didn't even see that he was back there!
Kim Kardashian West
Kim K is always caught up in the middle of things, but this is not the mix audiences usually see her in! While at her True Reflections fragrance launch back in 2012, a rogue crowd member hit her with an explosion of flour. This takes the cake for the worst red-carpet of all time!
Kate Moss
While attending award shows, it can be difficult to sneak a snack inside. After a 15 year break from the Cannes Film Festival, returned to the red carpet in 2016. She was so starved that she took a bite of her clutch purse. Hopefully, the event served dinner inside!
Mayim Bialik
Mayim Bialik isn't just a neuroscientist on The Big Bang Theory, she's also one in real life! One red carpet interviewer asked her "Being on The Big Bang Theory, how many people, not that you aren’t a genius, think that you can solve calculus at the drop of a hat?" Mayim replied, "I was trained in calculus for several years. I’m a neuroscientist...you may not have known that?"
