2013 was a bi-year for Jennifer Lawrence – she won an Oscar for Best Actress after her incredible performance in ‘Silver Linning’s Playbook,’ she wore an unforgettable ball gown that will never be forgotten, and she tripped at the Academy Awards! When going up the stairs to get on stage and accept the Oscar, Lawrence tripped and fell in front of everybody. It was probably the excitement.
Fortunately for her, the actress is wonderfully charismatic and quick to react, so, when she finally got on stage and grabbed hold of the microphone, she joked with the audience; “It’s OK, I know you’re only standing because you feel bad that I just fell!” Good save, Jen.
Hayden Panettiere Gets Tripped by Her Dress
The 'Nashville' star Hayden Panettiere had quite the slip at the 2014 Met Gala. Known for being THE fashion event of the year, the Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art is a parade of the world's most beautiful gowns and costumes. Panettiere was wearing a stunning Tom Ford ball gown with a very poofy skirt.
As beautiful as it was, the skirt caused her to trip while she was walking down the stairs of the museum. People rushed to her aid and helped lift her up, and the actress took it like a champ, even joking with the cameramen afterward.
America Ferrera Gets Attacked
The Ukrainian journalist prankster, Vitalii Sediuk, pulled one of his infamous pranks on actress America Ferrera at the premiere of the sequel of 'How to Train Your Dragon.' Not only that, Sediuk actually tried to get under Ferrara's dress to get some very inappropriate photos.
Ferrera, who was posing next to Cate Blanchett and Kit Harrington, was absolutely shocked and justifiably angry. Fortunately, security guards came immediately and removed him from the red carpet before he could snap any photos. How does this man even get past security in the first place?!
Jon Hamm Miscalculates a Jump
Jon Hamm secured his place as a Hollywood A-lister after his stellar performance in 'Mad Men,' as the one-and-only Don Draper. In fact, his performance was so good that it earned him the award for Best Actor in a Drama Series at the 2015 Emmy Awards. Hamm tried to be cool and jump on stage without using the stairs, but he seemingly forgot that his suit was a bit too tight for that.
Hamm ended up having to shimmy and crawl his way up the stage, and it was all very awkward and not at all cool. Seeing Don Draper rolling onstage and trying to get up is certainly shocking.
Even Helen Mirren Can Trip and Fall
Dame Helen Mirren is considered to be one of the best actresses to ever come out of Britain. She is almost like British royalty, which is what makes it even more difficult to imagine her being anything but graceful. Alas, even royals are humans, and Mirren proved this at a film festival in Berlin a few years back. At 69 years of age, and wearing an elegant, long green dress and heels, Mirren tripped and fell over the red-carpeted stairs.
Apparently, her long dress got caught in her heels, causing her to tumble down. But this lady managed to make even a fall look graceful! Mirren joked that the heels only cost her $39, and she's worn them plenty of times, with only one casualty, so they were definitely worth the money!
