RED ALERT

Jennifer Lawrence fell at the Oscars and that cringey Kimye prank… Here are the ten most awkward celeb red carpet moments EVER

Whether it's commenting on her dress or asking about her acceptance speech, Emma Stone isn't the only one that knows how to make a red carpet moment cringeworthy...

POOR Zoe Ball. We can't bring ourselves to watch the clip of Emma Stone shutting her down at last night's BAFTAs any more.

What is it with celebs having to make the red carpet such an awkward affair? It's like they just can't seem to help themselves...

If there is one thing we know for sure about J-Law, it's that she's a serial tripper.

First at the 2013 Oscars when she fell up those stairs to three years later, stacking it on the red carpet.

It's ok though Jen, we don't love you any less for being clumsy. If anything it adds to your character.

If you didn't think Tom's existence could get much weirder, cast your mind back to 2005 when he attended the London premiere of War of the Worlds and got squirted with water.

If, like us, you find Tom Cruise one of the most hilarious celebs in Hollywood and you haven't seen this, prepare yourself.

His reaction is a little bit like he's telling off a naughty child and it couldn't have been more Tom Cruise if he had tried.

Our favourite bit?

"It's incredibly rude."

Now, we're not sure how it goes down in Russia, but we're pretty sure this was a bold move by any standards.

In 2012, Will Smith gave a quick back-hand to a Ukrainian TV presenter when he went in for a little more than just your standard hand shake.

We're not sure if we're in full support of Will or a bit creeped out by his violent reaction.

Just when we thought we couldn't love Emma Thompson any more, she pulls this one out of the bag.

At the 2016 Oscars, the actress pulled a hilarious photobomb on 12 Years A Slave actress Lupita Nyong'o.

This picture has us asking so many questions though.

Do they really know each other well enough for these sorts of games or was Lupita secretly seething that Emma had ruined a perfect moment?

We guess we will never know...

Yes, you read that right.

In 2012, at the premiere of The Lomax, heart throb Zac Efron made the ultimate red carpet faux pas.

He let something slip.

Literally. A condom slipped out of his pocket. Onto the floor.

Play it cool Zac, play it cool.

The American fashion designer and TV presenter took the biscuit at the 2006 Golden Globes for most inappropriate interview moment ever.

Half way through chatting to Scarlett Johansson, Isaac leans in, and grabs her boob.

Absolutely not OK.

Handled with utmost grace, this moment proves why Scar-Jo deserves a Hollywood crown.

Definitely one of our favourite Sacha moments ever...

At the 2012 Oscars, comedian and actor Sacha Baron Cohen attends the ceremony as his latest character, The Dictator.

In an interview with Ryan Seacrest, Sacha spills the 'ashes of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il' all over Ryan's Burberry suit.

What is a most-awkward moments round up without him, ey?

At the Time 100 Gala in 2015, everyone's favourite comedienne pranked everyone's favourite couple, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.

She fauxed a fall in front of the pair.

An awkward enough moment, the true awkwardness lies in the pairs' reaction to the fall.

A casual ignorance in true Kimye style.

If this moment didn't seal John Travolta's spot as top creep, we don't know what did.

In 2015, Scarlett Johansson was minding her own business, having her photo taken at the Oscars. So what went wrong?

Well, John Travolta swept in, like a piece of inappropriate tumble weed and kissed her on the cheek.

It shouldn't be that weird but the picture says it all.

Scarlett's reaction? She brushed it off and actually said it was 'welcome'.

How is she so awesome?

Beyonce shuns assistant

At a big Tidal event in 2015, Beyonce was there to support husband, Jay Z's hot new business.

Queen Bey was out in full force sporting a gorge cut out dress.

Of course, her assistant was there to ensure she #slayed in every photo but an awkward moment occurred half way through and it's left us feeling uneasy ever since.

Clearly fed up of her assisstant's fussing, Beyonce tells her to 'stop it'.

A little diva-ish are we Bey?

Not cool.
