Awkwardly Memorable Red Carpet Moments That Prove Celebrities Are Just Normal People

It's amazing to see celebrities in awkward moments since they usually seem so glamorous. But there are times when they prove to the world they're just regular people, tripping over their shoes, giving awkward handshakes, and goofing around with their friends.

While us normal folk don't have to worry about a picture being taken each time we do something questionable, stars don't have that luxury. Coming to you from various red carpet events, here are some of the more memorable awkward celebrity moments.

When it comes to red carpet events, especially the Oscars, some things are certain to happen. One, actors are going to dazzle in gorgeous formal wear. Two, there will be more than one awkward interview. And three, more designer names will be uttered during that one event than the entire year.

But actor Jason Segel wasn't anticipating a fourth occurrence: a worker taking the time to vacuum the red carpet while the event was taking place!

This little girl went all out, bringing a stuffed tiger to the ceremony while baring her teeth and "claws" for the camera. "Pi" Patel and his Bengal tiger boatmate would've been proud.

While Hugh Grant was attending the Dutch premiere of the 2007 movie Music And Lyrics in Amsterdam, a mysterious woman pushed past security and handcuffed herself to the actor. Although Cosmopolitan explained that the woman turned out to be the host of a Dutch prank TV show, she was seriously committed to the bit.

That's because she hadn't brought the key when she cuffed herself to Grant, which meant that had to wait together until police arrived to unlock the handcuffs. She spent just two hours in jail for the stunt.

Even in the context of 2000s fashion, this ensemble Ashely Tisdale wore to the 2004 premiere of The Incredibles was pretty out there. That's an opinion she would express her agreement with in an interview with People Style years later.

She described the outfit as a "really weird pink camo skirt and this pink furry thing." Although she was excited to wear it at the time, she eventually took it as a lesson not to use the same stylist who dresses your character on a children's TV show for professional events.

At first glance, this red carpet photo from the 70th Academy Awards doesn't capture anything unusual. Minnie Driver's smiling pulling an imitation fur stole over her red dress. However, it would have been a very different photo just a few seconds earlier.

As Driver explained to Hollywood.com, her dress fell off her shoulders after she put her hand on her hip, and she used the stole to cover up the wardrobe malfunction. As she put it, "Nobody knows that it was just my dress had fallen off, and probably if they had got a few frames before, you totally would have seen my boobs."

By the time they appeared together at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards, Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox had already established themselves as an odd couple filled with crazy stories about each other. So seeing them making out like this on the red carpet wasn't exactly unprecedented.

However, there was one little detail about this particular outing that was much odder to behold. It appeared that the rapper turned rocker had dyed his tongue black before he and Fox turned up to the event. That couldn't have tasted good for anyone involved.

Whether romance was in the air at the 78th Venice International Film Festival or they were still in character after starring in Scenes From A Marriage together, Jessica Chastain and Oscar Isaac seemed to get unusually close at the event.

It's not uncommon for co-stars to exchange hugs or even affectionate little pecks when they get comfortable with each other, but the way these two held each other's faces and the way Isaac kissed Chastain's arm seemed a little more intimate than usual. That's especially true since they were (and remain) married to other people.

This unknown intruder at the 64th annual Cannes Film Festival made headlines by tumbling on the stairs when security guards grabbed him to prevent him from crashing the event. However, some headlines were rather confused because a rumor somehow circulated to suggest that this was pop singer Jason Derulo falling down the stairs at the Met Gala.

According to Cosmopolitan, a confused Derulo had to clarify multiple times that he wasn't at the Met Gala that year, nor did he fall down any stairs. In one case, he even had to reassure his concerned grandmother.

Although the Christian Dior gown Amanda Seyfried wore to the 2023 Critics' Choice Awards had always featured an unusual and ambitious cut, it turned out that the dress was keen to make some alterations of its own as the evening progressed.

ADVERTISEMENT

According to L'Officiel, that's because the gown was ripping and breaking apart as Seyfried was wearing it. By the time she spoke to Access Hollywood that night, the sleeves kept falling down.

While she attended the 2018 Met Gala, Selena Gomez's skin tone appeared a bit darker than usual, which made her look downright orange by the time the night was over. Apparently, the pop star was aware of how out-of-control her tanning lotion was getting that evening.

As she told Vogue, "It looked really beautiful and very even. As the evening kept going on, it was getting a little darker and darker." It's too bad it didn't stay the way it looked when she put it on.
