Our favorite celebs are usually so picture-perfect, it's easy to forget that they are human-beings just like us. From twisted ankles to tripping on the red carpet, here's a list of stars who bounced back from hilarious wipeouts.
Jennifer Lawrence
There's no denying that Jennifer Lawrence has many talents and can adapt to many roles. From The Hunger Games to Passengers, JLaw has done it all. So, it might not have come as a surprise when she won an Oscar in 2013.
Unfortunately, as Lawrence was walking toward the stage to accept her Best Actress Award for her role in Silver Linings Playbook, she tripped. Jennifer's foot got caught on her dress, causing her to fall up the flight of stairs. With a hand over her face in embarrassment, she took it like a boss shortly after and accepted her award.
Hayden Panettiere
Actress Hayden Panettiere slipped in her Dennis Basso Spring 2014 collection gown while walking down the red velvet carpet on the Met Gala stairs in 2014. She was trying to lift her giant ballgown's skirt so her heeled feet could touch the floor unobstructed.
But, things didn't exactly go as planned when Panettiere lost her footing and missed a step or two on the giant flight of stairs. Her expression in this photo says it all; she was shocked! But, Hayden quickly got her balance back and elegantly descended on the rest of the stairs.
Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga is widely known for her extravagant outfits in concert and her day-to-day life. From out-of-this-world high heels to lace masks, many fans believe Gaga can rock it all. But, when it came to her Enigma tour at Park MGM in Las Vegas, she took a tumble on stage.
Lady Gaga sang so hard at that 2019 concert that, coupled with her fast-paced dance moves, the slip of a foot left her sitting on the stage. But, as the professional performer she is, Mother Monster was back on her feet dancing around again in no time.
Christina Aguilera
Christina Aguilera took over the stage at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards alongside several widely-known artists. She performed with Yolanda Adams, Martina McBride, Jennifer Hudson, and Florence Welch in a gorgeous tribute to the late Aretha Franklin in 2011.
Unfortunately, Aguilera slipped and nearly fell during her performance at the Staples Center. But with the help of the closeby microphone stand and other ladies on stage, she quickly regained her footing. Before much of the audience could realize it, the performance continued.
Emma Thompson
Emma Thompson is widely recognized for her role in Sense and Sensibility or Love Actually. Well, when the time came for the actress to receive one of her many awards, leaving her prints and signature in the element outside of the TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood, a slight mishap occurred.
Thompson signed her name and went to stand up. But, she stumbled over the elevated box that she was standing on and landed on her side. Luckily, by 2013, the actress had learned to laugh at her mistakes and stood up while smiling and chuckling playfully.
Kristin Chenoweth
After sharing a smooch on stage with fellow actor Sean Hayes, Kristin Chenoweth took an unfortunate tumble at Radio City Music Hall in 2010. Dressed to the nines in a crisp white minidress in front of a large audience, Chenoweth ended up on the stage floor at the 64th Annual Tony Awards.
In the aftermath of the fall, the audience was torn on what to believe had happened. Some thought it was a staged event, while others thought she passed out from the stage lights. But, in the end, Hayes helped Kirstin and her blushed cheeks up, and the show went on.
Amy Schumer
Amy Schumer is a widely known comedian and actress who has been known to evoke a laugh at just the right time and the wrong times. In 2015, she pulled a prank on Kanye West and Kim Kardashian that had nearly everyone laughing. Well, basically all but Kanye, that is.
Schumer purposefully wiped out in a pretend-fall on the red carpet right at the feet of Kardashian and West. The celebrities were at a gala celebrating Time Magazine's 100th issue of the Most Influential People in the World when Amy decided the evening needed a laugh-lift.
Helen Mirren
The accomplished Helen Mirren has held many roles, from the action-packed Red series to sophisticated roles portraying three different Queens in various movies and TV shows. That's why she was in attendance at the Berlin Film Festival premiere of her film, The Woman in Gold, in 2015.
Mirren was heading up the red carpet into the event when she tripped on her green Dolce & Gabbana gown and fell to her knees. Thankfully, Helen's quick reflexes helped her catch herself before her upper body went careening towards the steps. With grace, Mirren stood back up and went on to accept her award.
Jennifer Lopez
JLo took a quick spill with an even faster recovery at the American Music Awards in 2009. Mid performance, Lopez climbed up the backs of several of her backup dancers, then jumped off, intending to land back on stage. The trick was practiced many times before the concert, but things didn't go as planned at showtime.
Unfortunately, instead of landing on her feet, Lopez's bum ended up breaking her fall. With a quick recovery move, Jennifer was back on her feet, singing and dancing again in no time. By the end of her performance, many had forgotten the accident even happened.
Michael Cera
In 2013, actor Michael Cera was having a bit of fun at the Sundance Film Festival with his Magic, Magic co-star, Catalina Sandino. While playfully dancing together, Sandino dipped Cera but lost her grip. Michael then fell backward to the ground with his hand catching the brunt of his landing.
Cera was unquestionably shocked by the abrupt end to his spontaneous fooling around from the looks of the photo. But, the Juno actor has nearly always been able to bounce back from silly happenings. So, he got back on his feet and carried on with his night.
Naomi Watts
Naomi Watts was heading toward the microphone at the 2015 SAG Awards when she tripped on Emma Stone's dress. Watts somehow remained composed as she reached for the microphone stand for balance. With her co-stars nervously looking to her for a sign of what to do next, the moment passed.
Naomi gracefully collected herself and went on to accept the award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture for the film Birdman. From the looks of it, we can guess that the co-stars-turned-friends had a good chuckle about the slip later on.
Justin Bieber
In 2010 a young Justin Bieber performed several planned fighting stunts with his backup dancers on stages across the United States. Even with all of his team's practicing with choreographers, things quickly turned South when a move was executed incorrectly.
Unfortunately, during one show, some of the choreography of his performance caused Bieber to land wrong and twist his ankle badly. Although he had no major injuries, many in attendance revealed that he limped offstage without finishing the show that night.
Jessica Alba
Jessica Alba was the Choice Female Hottie winner at the Teen Choice Awards in 2006. And, apparently, she wasn't the only one falling head over heels for herself! While photographers watched her take to the carpet, she tripped over her shoes and ended up on all fours.
Despite her embarrassing fall, she was able to act gracefully with a smile and somehow managed to keep her captivating charm intact while getting back on her feet. With the flip of her hair, the show moved on, and many pictures besides this one were snapped.
Sarah Hyland
Modern Family star, Sarah Hyland, was making her way across the shining USC Galen Center stage in 2015 when she tripped. Hyland was walking to the central part of the stage to present a Teen Choice Award when her foot got caught on an ample stage light, causing her to nearly wipe out head first.
Thankfully, even though she was wearing stilettos, Sarah managed to keep herself composed. She saved herself from what could have been an unfortunate accident and went on to laugh off the incident as she took the microphone and announced the winner named on her card.
Katy Perry
The eccentrically colorful Katy Perry fell face-first into a massive pink-frosted cake during her 2008 performance at the MTV Latin America Awards. But, instead of getting upset over the incident, she proceeded to roll around in the icing more. She finished her performance covered head to toe.
But, how did this happen? Well, as remembered by those in attendance at the concert, Perry simply lost her balance, slipped, and slid into the icing. The cake was on stage as a large prop, but no one planned for it to become part of the singer's wardrobe!
Niall Horan
Niall Horan of the former band, One Direction, acted as an attentive caddie for golfer Rory McIlroy at the 2015 Masters Tournament. The event was held at the Augusta National Golf Club. While Niall was doing a great job as a golfing-wingman, he had a slight slip-up.
Unfortunately, Horan's years dancing around the stage didn't help him out much that day. The singer-turned-caddie lost his footing on some pine straw while walking between holes with McIlroy. He subsequently slipped down a spike-filled hill with the caddie bag in hand.
Eva Longoria
Eva Longoria stumbled over her golden heels outside 2007's ABC Network UpFront event at Lincoln Center in New York City. She dropped down to pick up the contents of her purse and was helped by those around her. Nonetheless, when she stood up, Eva remained her smooth self with a smile on her face and a pep in her step.
Now, looking at this photo of Longoria's event slip-up, we have something to say. May we be as lucky as Eva to have a glimmering smile, good posture, and playful composure if and when we stumble over our own feet in public. Especially in busy, bustling New York!
Michael B. Jordan
Diving for the ball at the DirecTV Beach Bowl in 2014, Michael B. Jordan hit the sand with his shoulder breaking the fall. Luckily, his shoulder and head-in-the-game attitude were left intact. He quickly recovered and was able to continue playing the game with no issues.
Jordan was so into the flag football game that his major wipeout didn't even seem to affect him! We can guess that his teammates were thankful for his quick reflexes, as Michael seemed pretty proud of his recovery as well, and many fans and fellow celebrities cheered on from the sidelines.
Heidi Klum
Heidi Klum co-hosted the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards alongside Tom Bergeron in 20098. When they attempted to act out their co-host skit, a bit of a mistake took place, and Heidi, unfortunately, ended up on the stage's floor in front of the entire audience.
For those who weren't watching at the time, Klum fell to the ground after being dropped by Bergeron. She landed on her hip bone, which didn't feel very good by the looks of the photo above. Bergeron quickly helped her up, and the show went on, but ouch! That looked like it hurt!
Jim Carey
Jim Carey is a widely-known comedic actor who has graced our screens in a wide variety of roles. From Ace Ventura: Pet Detective to The Truman Show, he has made fans laugh for years. This time around, the comedy show came into real life, live, in front of real fans.
Carey was presenting the award for Best Pop Video during the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards when he suddenly fell backward into the crowd. From his facial expression in the photo above, it seems he is just as shocked as everyone else as to what was happening.
Madonna
At the 2016 BRIT Awards, Madonna, the world-renowned singer, had a cape malfunction and was dragged backward off stage. She was climbing up the stairs of a platform during her performance, but when her cape got caught, she was pulled back like a slingshot.
Thankfully, Madonna was not severely hurt. However, she did fall onto her horn-wearing backup dancers, who were just as shocked as she was. With a deep breath and speedy recovery, she was back up on her feet, finishing yet another rockstar performance.
Demi Lovato
Mid-performance at KIIS FM's 2015 Summer Pool Party, Disney star turned musician Demi Lovato took a spill on a small stage platform surrounded by water. She was jumping and dancing around as she typically did during performances when she lost her footing.
Immediately after the people around Demi helped her up, the singer jumped into the pool to recover. But, she was quickly surrounded by fans and seemed to get pretty overwhelmed by the expression on her face. After a hard fall like the one she had, who could blame her?
David Beckham
Soccer star David Beckham might be one of the most talented and celebrated players in the game's history, but even professionals can misstep once in a while! Back in 2013, Beckham slipped while kicking a soccer ball on the field and fell flat on his back.
The wipeout happened during a visit to Wuhan Zall Football club in Wuhan, China. Now, Beckham wasn't particularly dressed for the occasion, as he was sporting dress pants and a button-down, but hey! Guess it's hard to keep a player away from their game!
Cameron Diaz
Cameron Diaz laughed the night away on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in 2014. Diaz and Fallon had so much fun that Cameron began climbing around the furniture, making nearly everyone in the audience crack up in amazement that the actress was so playful.
Before she knew it, Cameron tripped on her heels, fumbled over herself, and fell to the ground in complete laughter. Jimmy couldn't contain himself as he swung his upper body over the desk. If their contagious smiles in the photo above don't say it, we will; these two seemed to make the best out of a silly occurrence!
Cara Delevingne & Jonathan Saunders
Cara Delevingne attended the GQ Men Of The Year awards at The Royal Opera House in England in 2014. After strutting across the red carpet, Delevingne lost her footing and fell straight to the ground as she entered the venue. Before she knew it, Scottish fashion designer Jonathan Saunders came to the rescue.
Saunders hurried over to help Cara back up to her feet, but not before he topped over her onto the floor as well. What goofballs! The two burst out in uncontrollable laughter, which we can imagine comforted and helped ease any embarrassment that the model felt.
Prince Harry
In 2010, Prince Harry showed off his Polo skills playing in the Veuve Clicquot Manhattan Polo Classic in New York. While the Prince had certainly proved his ability to execute the game with skill, in a blink, his horse disagreed with him and decided to let him know!
The Prince was booted off his horse while playing for the Blackrock Polo team and landed flat on the ground. Luckily, his ability to continue in the game wasn't hindered, and after shaking off the initial shock of the hard landing, he was back in the game.
Tina Fey & Amy Poehler
Actresses and inseparable friends, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler do many things together, from starring on TV to hosting award shows. So, when it came time for them to present the first award of the 65th Primetime Emmy Awards in 2013 together, the crowd knew they were in for a treat.
But, no one was expecting them to both take tumbles while making their way up the stairs to the stage! The comedic friends managed to get the whole audience laughing hysterically by the time they both made it to their feet in the center of the stage.
Elisabeth Röhm
Actress Elisabeth Röhm attended the QVC 5th Annual Red Carpet Style Pre-Oscar party in 2014. The American Hustle star was posing for photos on the red carpet when her heel twisted. Before she could catch her balance, Röhm found herself on all fours on the ground.
Elisabeth calmly collected herself and made it back to standing up straight. But that's not to say pesky photographers didn't take the chance to snap a picture of the wipeout! With a smile, Röhm continued into the party, and we can imagine she watched her step a little closer for the rest of the evening.
Method Man
Rapper Method Man tripped on stage and soon found himself crowd surfing during his 2008 performance at the Rock The Bells Music and Arts Festival in California. His loyal fans in the front rows managed to catch him but couldn't carry him very far due to so many people in such a jam-packed area.
Method Man was quickly carried back toward the stage and pushed onto his feet to complete the rest of his performance. While riding the hands of fans might not be the safest rollercoaster out there, we can sure bet that the rapper had a blast doing it.
Candice Swanepoel
Supermodel Candice Swanepoel tripped over her gown and stiletto heels, stumbled, and fell on the catwalk during the Givenchy Spring 2016 fashion show. This has happened to many models on occasion, but some would argue that not many have handled it as well as she did.
Swanepoel had a smile on her face from the moment she knew she was going down. With the help of the people around her, she got back on her feet and kept strutting her stuff. She flipped her hair, took a deep breath, and headed back up the runway. Now that's how to handle a total wipeout!
