The Met Gala is known for its glamour and prestige, but that doesn’t mean it’s immune to awkwardness and mishaps. From photobombs to falls, here are 5 shocking and buzzworthy events from the Met Gala:

Jennifer Lawrence Photobombs Sarah Jessica Parker (2013)
In a hilarious stunt, Jennifer Lawrence reached out to touch Sarah Jessica Parker’s unique, feathery headpiece while the “Sex and the City” star was being photographed on the red carpet. Luckily, Parker didn’t seem bothered by the bit, even though she was certainly caught off-guard.

Reese Witherspoon Mispronounces Cara Delevingne’s Name (2014): After the 2014 Met Gala, a video of Reese Witherspoon repeatedly mispronouncing Cara Delevingne’s name in an elevator at the event went viral. “I love it when you do it – say it,” Delevingne says to Witherspoon in the video. “Deh-leh-vig-nee,” Witherspoon responds.

Man Attempts to Streak Across Red Carpet (2014): Wearing nothing but a gold chain and pink bikini, a man attempted to streak across the red carpet at the Met Gala in 2014. Although the police caught the man before he could fully execute his plan, E! Online posted a photo of the prankster.

Hayden Panettiere Falls Down Stairs on Red Carpet (2014): Hayden Panettiere might have jinxed herself before falling down the stairs on the red carpet at the 2014 Met Gala. According to US Weekly, the actress shouted, “Hallelujah! I made it up the stairs!” when she reached the top. Little did she know she’d tumble on her way down.

Rihanna Likes Instagram Post Mocking Celebrities (2017): After the 2017 Met Gala, audiences reached the general consensus that Rihanna had taken the theme more seriously than other celebrities. Apparently, Rihanna herself agreed. After making a lasting impression in an elaborate gown from Comme des Garçons’ fall 2016 collection, she liked an Instagram post mocking stars who showed up in attire that seemingly had no connection to the theme whatsoever.
