Kirsten, 39, and Jesse, 35, who starred in the heavily nominated Killers of The Flower Moon - took to the Oscars Red Carpet on Sunday.
Photographers yelled her way as she stunned in a chic, simple white dress, her husband in a tux looking extra slim with slicked-back hair.
Suddenly, the actress, who has been on a lengthy hiatus from major roles, got tripped up.
She fell backward and exclaimed, "Woah!" as she landed on the large Oscar setpiece.
The star laughed and put her hands on Jesse's shoulders as she exclaimed, "I walked right into an Oscar!"
From there, she steadied herself on Jesse while still laughing and posed with her famous man for photos.
'WHOOPS!'

WINNING COUPLE

LIGHTS, CAMERA, OPPENHEIMER
Hollywood’s biggest night hit the small screen on ABC on Sunday, March 10, 2024, at a sprightly 7 p.m. ET.
This was an hour earlier than usual, or two, considering the daylight savings time change.
As usual, the 96th annual Oscars were held at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood, Los Angeles, California.
Late-night star Kimmel served as host and flatlined with a "cringe" joke about Robert Downey Jr.'s past drug use.
The Oscars saw the year’s most critically acclaimed movies, actors, directors, and everyone behind them duke it out.
Oppenheimer (13 nods), Poor Things (10), Killers of The Flower Moon (10), and Barbie (8) led the tally.
Fans felt the Kenergy as Ryan Gosling performed “I’m Just Ken” from Barbie with Mark Ronson, and Billie Eilish drew tears with “What Was I Made For?” from Barbie.
Presenters included Mahershala Ali, Bad Bunny, Emily Blunt, Nicolas Cage, Jamie Lee Curtis, Zendaya, and a nude John Cena.
Awards-wise, the Barbenehimer summer craze has fizzled out, and it was a statuesque night for the Robert Oppenheimer biopic.
Best Supporting Actor was won by Oppenheimer's Downey Jr. (his first).
And Christopher Nolan's three-hour atomic bomb opus won Best Picture and Best Director (Nolan’s first for both).
Da’Vine Joy Randolph won Best Supporting Actress for Alexander Payne’s (potentially plagiarized) The Holdovers.
Anatomy of A Fall won Best Original Screenplay, and American Fiction Best Adapted Screenplay.

Best Actress seemed like a toss-up with Anatomy of A Fall’s Sandra Hüller squaring up against Poor Things’ Emma Stone and Lily Gladstone of Scorcese’s Killers of The Flower Moon.
But in the end, Emma Stone won out, which snubbed Lily of making history as the first native Oscar winner.
