On the red carpet, celebrities often face a high-pressure environment where one wrong step can lead to a memorable – and sometimes hilarious – moment. Selena Gomez recently joined this list after tripping and breaking her black pumps at the SAG awards.

However, Gomez is not the first celebrity to experience a red-carpet mishap. In fact, several stars have tripped, fallen, or lost their balance on the carpet over the years.

One such celebrity is Amy Schumer, who intentionally fell in front of Kim and Kanye West at The Time 100 gala. While some might consider it embarrassing, Schumer made light of the situation and even used it as a comedic moment.

Emma Thompson, on the other hand, had a more unfortunate experience. She fell to her face on the red carpet in Los Angeles, losing her balance and struggling to regain it.

Naomi Watts had a similar experience when she tripped on Emma Stone's dress at the 2015 SAG awards. However, Watts remained composed and continued with the event.

Jennifer Garner also had a close call when she lost her balance on the red carpet at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party in 2014. However, she was able to catch herself before falling.

And then there's Jennifer Lawrence, who has had two notable falls on the red carpet. The first occurred at the 2013 Academy Awards, where she fell while walking to receive her award for Best Actress. The second happened at the 2014 Oscars, where she lost her balance and fell over – but quickly regained her composure and laughed it off.
