18 Awkward Celebrity Moments That Will Give You Serious Secondhand Embarrassment

Mar 18 2017 - 9:15am

Who could forget Jennifer Lawrence [1] falling in Dior? Or the moment we were introduced to Adele Dazeem? Saturday marks National Awkward Moments Day, and in celebration of the sort-of holiday, we thought we'd highlight some of the funniest [2] — if not most cringeworthy — celebrity moments over the years. From flubs and fails to spills (of every kind), scroll through to see 18 of them now.

When Amy Schumer Threw Herself on the Ground in Front of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West

The moment happened at the Time 100 Gala [3] in 2015 and definitely seemed more awkward for Kim and Kanye than it was for Amy.

When Jennifer Lawrence Spilled Mints All Over Herself During a Press Conference

The 2013 event, which we dubbed "The Mintcident," was perhaps one of the Hunger Games [4] star's funniest moments.

When Paul McCartney Was Caught Enjoying Himself During a Grammys Performance

The Beatle got so into ELO's "Evil Woman" at the show in 2015 that he couldn't help but get off his feet. Once he realized the camera was on him, he sheepishly sat down.

When Jennifer Aniston Delivered a One-Woman Standing Ovation at the 2015 Critics' Choice Awards

She befell the same fate as Sir Paul, slowly sitting back in her seat before anyone noticed.

When Stacey Dash Came on Stage at the 2016 Oscars

It's safe to say the entire audience was a little confused [5] about her appearance.

When Steve Harvey Crowned the Wrong Miss Universe in 2015

No, he'll never live this down.

When Kate Middleton Tried to Dance at a Charity Event

Her royal moves were very endearing, albeit painful to watch.

When Sacha Baron Cohen "Accidentally"' Spilled Ashes on Ryan Seacrest at the 2012 Oscars

The E! host was so upset about the stunt [6] that he reportedly turned down an interview [7] with Sacha on the red carpet in 2016.

When Lea Michele Tried to Talk to Jessica Lange, but She Blew Right Past Her

And the whole thing, which went down at the American Horror Story [8]: Hotel premiere in 2014, was caught on tape.

When Whoopi Goldberg Ripped a Giant Fart on Air

While hosting The View in 2014, Whoopi let out a big one [9] before saying, "I feel so much better now!"

When Tina Fey Tried to Put Some Distance Between Herself and Ben Affleck

While on the red carpet in 2004, Tina looked downright pained while trying to give herself some space from the actor.

When Melanie Griffith Told Dakota Johnson That She Wouldn't Be Watching Her New Movie

Of course it makes sense that Melanie wouldn't feel totally comfortable watching her daughter get spanked and seduced on the big screen, but the fact that she let her — and the rest of the world [10] — know that at the 2015 Oscars made for a pretty squirmy viewing experience.

When Taraji P. Henson Mistook Coldplay For Maroon 5 at the Super Bowl

Her Instagram photo drew funny responses from Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine [11] and T-Mobile, who compared her to Steve Harvey.

When Jennifer Lawrence Fell on Stage at the 2013 Oscars

When Jennifer Lawrence Fell on the Red Carpet at the 2014 Oscars

When Jennifer Lawrence Made Things Super Weird For Josh Hutcherson During an Interview

Jennifer Lawrence [12] might just be the queen of awkward moments.

When Lady Gaga Pushed Past Leonardo DiCaprio at the Golden Globes in 2016

While the initial moment (and Leo's reaction) led many of us to wonder if the two had beef, the actor cleared things up [13] after the show, saying, "I just didn't know what was passing me. That's all!"

When John Travolta Introduced the World to "Adele Dazeem"

No list of awkward moments would be complete without this gem from the 2014 Oscars [14].
