American singer Ariana Grande has been steadily climbing the celebrity ladder since 2008, performing to more and more fans with each passing show. By now, Grande is used to having thousands of cameras pointed at her, but she’s not used to them capturing her in an awkward situation. At the 2012 Teen Choice Awards, Grande wore a stunning dress with a poofy, net skirt, which was apparently a wrong choice for the particularly windy day.
At one point, the skirt was nearly blown up entirely, but luckily, Grande managed to hold it down before being completely exposed! The cameras captured a very Marilyn Monroe-type moment, although in a far more awkward, embarrassing version.
Emma Stone Gets in the Way
Emma Stone has become a very beloved actress in Hollywood. Since her portrayal of the sweet Jules in 'Superbad,' she's gone on to prove her incredible talents on the big screen (La La Land, The Favourite, The Help). Also, she's established herself as a quirky, awkward, and totally down-to-earth girl. So much so that, at the 2016 Golden Globes, she was involved in a very awkward situation with La La Land director Damien Chazelle.
Stone tried to hug Damien, thinking he had all the intention of hugging her back, but as it turns out, he was actually trying to kiss his girlfriend, and the three of them ended up in a very awkward, three-way hug. Of course, Chazelle tried to make Stone less uncomfortable by brushing it off with a laugh. In fact, they shared another awkward hug as tribute later at the Venice Film Festival!
Melissa Leo’s Potty Mouth
Melissa Leo is a formidable actress, so it was no surprise when she won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in 2011 for her stellar performance in 'The Fighter.' Leo, who was 50 years old at the time, had a very embarrassing slip of the tongue during her acceptance speech.
The actress, who is known for being very genuine and outspoken, dropped the f-word in the middle of her speech! The gentlemanly Kirk Douglas, who had announced the award, tried to remedy the situation as best he could, but the cameras had already snapped. Leo, realizing the slip she just had, just didn't know where to put herself!
Elsa Hosk Bends Down for an Earring
Even though she always looks flawless when strutting down the runway modeling Victoria’s Secret, Swedish model Elsa Hosk had a small accident in 2019. When attending a Venice film festival, Hosk had an issue with her jewelry – one of her very expensive earrings fell onto the red carpet. Of course, Hosk couldn’t leave such an expensive piece of jewelry behind, so she decided to kneel to pick it up. All the while smiling, of course.
Now, kneeling on the red carpet to look for an earring is not exactly a classy thing to do, especially when you’re wearing stilettos and a skirt with a very big slit up to your thigh. However, Hosk managed to do all this and even put her earring back on before leaving the red carpet. Bravo, Miss Hosk.
Naomi Watts Misses a Step
At the 2015 Screen Actors Guild Awards, the phenomenally talented cast of Alejandro G. Iñarritu's 'Birdman' won the award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture. Among the cast were Emma Stone, Amy Ryan, Edward Norton, Naomi Watts, and Zach Galifianakis. The actors got onstage, and everything was going fine, that is until Naomi approached the microphone.
When the blonde actress walked towards the mic, she clearly missed a step and almost fell flat on her face. Luckily, she managed to keep her balance and avoid disaster, but her co-stars' reaction was priceless and caught on camera.
