Watch Yourself, Derulo
Wherever celebrities gather, be it glitzy galas or high-profile red-carpet affairs, a touch of drama is almost a given. The desire to present one’s best self is entirely understandable, but it’s also a breeding ground for tales, some spun out of thin air or stretched for effect. Case in point: the aftermath of the 2015 Met Gala.
The Met Gala, a glittering constellation of celebrity luminaries, was a magnet for attention. Yet, what truly captured the post-event spotlight was a viral video featuring an anonymous individual in a striking white tuxedo taking an unplanned tumble down the iconic red carpet stairs. In the initial media frenzy, fingers pointed at Jason Derulo as the mysterious faller, only for reality to intervene with a twist – Derulo was safely situated in Los Angeles then.
A Winning Trip
Is it even the Oscars without a celebrity taking an unexpected tumble? We’ve witnessed it before with stars like Rami Malek, and then in 2013, Jennifer Lawrence added her name to the list. Lawrence, known for her candid moments at major events, gave us another unforgettable one.
It was the 2013 Oscars, and Lawrence was positively radiant as she approached the stage to claim her Best Actress award for Silver Linings Playbook. Her excitement was palpable, but just as she climbed the stairs, a mishap unfolded. Lawrence tripped, teetering on the brink of a face-plant. However, in a testament to her poise, she swiftly regained her footing, sparing herself a red-carpet embarrassment.
Need Any Help Getting Up?
“Green Day,” the iconic American rock band behind chart-toppers like “American Idiot” and “Basket Case,” is no stranger to memorable moments, both collectively and individually. One such moment unfolded at the 2019 MTV Europe Music Awards, starring their charismatic drummer, Tre’ Cool.
As Tre’ Cool endeavored to exit their group limousine, fate conspired for a comical twist. In an instant that had band members and onlookers in stitches, Cool found himself taking a tumble. Yet, true to his name, he managed to turn the unexpected spill into a display of his unflappable coolness. After all, with a staggering 85 million record sales under their belt, it seems there’s little that can truly faze the rock legends – or is there?
Perry Slip Up
Celebrities are often held to impossibly high standards by their fans, expecting nothing less than perfection. This demanding scrutiny extends to even the most celebrated personalities, including Katy Perry. Amidst her fair share of awkward red-carpet moments, one incident from the 2008 MTV Latin American Awards remains etched in memory.
Following her energetic performance at the awards ceremony, Perry took an unexpected dive into a towering cake. Already somewhat embarrassed, she playfully flung cake at her guitarist. To add to the humor, she then stumbled repeatedly, ultimately crawling offstage. This mishap serves as a humorous reminder that, even for superstars, perfection can prove elusive.
Don’t Step on Her Dress
The Cannes Film Festival, a perennial highlight on the annual calendar, is renowned for its star-studded gatherings and dazzling glamour. Yet, amidst the glitz and glamour, it has also hosted some unforgettable fashion faux pas that have left their mark on history.
Enter the 71st edition in 2018, held in the picturesque landscapes of France. Amidst the galaxy of stars, Russian beauty Yulia Rybakova found herself thrust into the spotlight, but not in the way she had hoped. The defining moment unfolded when an unwitting guest, mistakenly identifying her flowing red dress as part of the carpet, trod upon it, causing an unfortunate tear at the waist.
Oh No, Princess Mary!
Perfection is an elusive ideal, one that even royalty cannot always attain. Princess Mary, the Crown Princess of Denmark, demonstrated this truth with grace at the 2014 Bambi Awards in Berlin. Arriving in her customary style and elegance, she seemed poised for an evening of flawless regality, but fate had other plans.
Princess Mary graced the occasion to accept a Bambi Charity Award, an acknowledgment of her unwavering dedication to charitable endeavors. However, in a moment that showcased the inherent unpredictability of live events, she experienced a brief slip on her way back from the stage. With characteristic composure, she managed to regain her footing, ensuring that both herself and her cherished Bambi Award remained unscathed.
Not a Fun Waltz
Christopher Waltz, renowned for his stellar portrayal of SS officer Hans Landa in Inglourious Basterds, has undeniably earned his stripes as one of the industry’s finest talents. With a string of captivating roles in major films, he’s no stranger to the spotlight, often finding himself at the epicenter of intriguing moments.
The stage for one such memorable moment was set at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival, where Waltz took an intriguing stroll that raised more than a few eyebrows. He walked with a noticeable limp, a performance that bordered on the comical, leaving onlookers puzzled. The enigma surrounding this eccentric display lingers to this day, with questions persisting about whether it was a deliberate act or simply a misinterpretation, ensuring that this Cannes episode remains a topic of discussion long after the festival’s curtains have closed.
A Bit Too Clingy
Being star-struck in the presence of our favorite celebrities is entirely relatable. Imagine the excitement coursing through a man in Los Angeles back in 2014 when he finally came face to face with none other than Bradley Cooper. However, the plot takes an unexpected twist when it becomes evident that this man is not just an ordinary fan but the infamous Ukrainian journalist Vitalii Sediuk.
Sediuk is renowned for his light-hearted pranks on celebrities, often on the red carpet. On this particular occasion, he surged forward and latched onto Cooper’s legs with a grip that could only be described as tenacious. Yet, instead of annoyance, Cooper responded with laughter while his co-stars and security scrambled to disentangle the unexpected embrace. It was a moment that didn’t quite go according to Sediuk’s grand plan, leaving everyone involved with an unforgettable memory.
Head to Toe in Yellow
There is no denying that when it comes to getting dressed up for award shows, celebrities always know what to do. Not only do they have an entire team to help them get ready and help plan their outfits, but they also have a generous amount of money to spend on these things.
This outfit worn by Heidi Klum is not only beautiful and radiant, but it is also quite revealing. But when you have an entire team helping you perfect your look, you can afford to take a few risks here and there. And let’s be honest, she has taken a big risk with this outfit.
Woman in Gold
Everyone knows that model and actress Cara DeLevingne is a bit of a risk-taker when it comes to her outfits. Whether it’s for a red carpet or she is simply walking down the street to get something from the shops, she always has an effortless yet enticing look about her.
And let’s be honest, this look from the 2022 Met Gala shocked everybody. As if wearing a simple red suit wasn’t shocking enough for people, she then took her jacket off and stunned the world with a real surprise. Somehow, she has made revealing look rather elegant…
Blue Streak, Don’t Care
Celebrities have a remarkable ability to influence trends, especially when they’re teen idols like Selena Gomez back in 2007. The memory of that era conjures images of blue hair streaks sweeping through the teenage population, and it may come as a surprise to learn that Gomez was the trendsetter behind this iconic look.
It all unfolded at the 2007 Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Party when Gomez confidently sported her newly-acquired blue hair streaks. When questioned about her bold choice, she explained that she simply craved “a little edge and pop in her hair” and wanted to add a unique touch to the party. Interestingly, as the years passed, Gomez appeared somewhat bashful about that moment in her fashion history.
Mayim Bialik, the Genius
Journalists strive to excel in their celebrity interviews, often conducting meticulous research to steer clear of any potential embarrassments. Nevertheless, there are moments when even well-prepared interviewers can find themselves caught off guard, as was the case in 2014 when Mayim Bialik attended the SAG Awards and a pair of TNT interviewers stepped into unexpected territory.
Initially, the interview appeared to be proceeding smoothly, but it soon took an unexpected turn. One of the interviewers inquired about Bialik’s mathematical prowess, specifically asking how quickly she could solve calculus problems on the fly—a query tied to her role on The Big Bang Theory. Little did they know that Bialik had not only studied calculus but held a doctorate in neuroscience.
Megan, the Stallion Stuns
Now, when it comes to being a pop sensation, chances are that you are going to push the boundaries when it comes to your outfits. Especially if your music is, shall we say, a little bit risque? There’s nothing we love more than a confident and cool female artist.
At the 2021 iHeart Radio Music Awards, Megan stunned the crowd in a rather exciting green cut-out dress. While it is quite revealing, it also has a certain uniqueness to it that you don’t often see. We love how she always chooses to have fun with her outfits!
Such a Prankster
Timing is everything, and Hugh Grant was aiming for a moment of seriousness and enjoyment at the Amsterdam premiere of his romantic comedy, Music and Lyrics. However, fate had other plans when an enthusiastic fan dashed up to him on the red carpet, promptly handcuffing herself to the actor.
The twist in this tale? The fan didn’t possess the keys to the handcuffs, which led to the rather unconventional involvement of both the police and the fire rescue team. Their mission? To liberate Grant from the unexpected shackles. It turns out the daring fan was part of a Dutch prank TV show, and her stunt culminated in a two-hour vacation at the local police station before finally being released.
Emma Chamberlain
The dynamic between celebrities and reporters often provides us with unforgettable moments, both on television and during interviews. While some stars may appear reserved during red-carpet events, Jack Harlow certainly doesn’t fit that category. In fact, his exuberance shone brightly during an interview with Emma Chamberlain at the 2022 MET Gala.
As the interview concluded, Chamberlain, representing “Vogue,” casually mentioned that she would see Harlow inside. Without missing a beat, he responded with a warm, “Can’t wait. Love you. Bye.” What followed was a delightful and unexpected exchange as Chamberlain softly echoed, “Love ya,” before instantly transforming her facial expression into one of the most hilariously memorable moments the internet has ever witnessed.
