Red Carpet Bloopers That Were Caught On Camera

This article appeared in Thefashionball and has been published here with permission.

Social suicide

Some stylistic mistakes go unnoticed, while others grab the attention of all the paparazzi. And being a star has many good things: glamour, fame, money. But it also has its bad things, and that is that a single failure in public can mean months and months reliving it in the media. This is the case of those who, for some reason or another, end up making a fool of themselves on the red carpet. They just have to wait for someone else to become the center of attention? You won’t believe this has happened to celebrities in the eyes of the whole world!

Social suicide

Ben Affleck was attending the Suicide Squad premiere when suddenly paparazzi snapped a photo of the Daredevil actor with a loose button-down. Affleck should have checked his appearance before leaving his hotel room.

Nonetheless, he managed to keep a straight face while buckling up – he’ll never go out again without brushing up!

A somewhat clumsy Cinderella

Hayden Panettiere had to learn the hard way that no matter how beautiful a dress is, it’s not necessarily suitable for the red carpet. At the Met Ball in 2014, the Nashville star tripped while walking down the stairs.

Facebook // Vaovao Malaza Eran-tany Ofisialy

Her Dennis Basso dress apparently got tangled in her high heels, but the actress knew better than to hog all the looks. With an apologetic smile and good humor, Panettiere quickly untangled her feet and carried on as usual.

Less is more

Queen B, also known as Beyonce Knowles, proved that despite what many seem to think, she is also human. And as such, she was the victim of a poor styling choice when she stepped up to a curb in a silky, wrap-around emerald gown.

The paparazzi, who were waiting on the corner, didn’t miss a chance to capture the moment. In any case, the singer handled the situation like a pro and gave a smile as she arranged her dress.

Careful, Kim

Reality TV star Kim Kardashian has been used to attention since a relatively young age. Although it’s been a while since her partying days with heiress Paris Hilton, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star is no stranger to scandal.

When she attended the Screen Actors Guild’s 17th Annual SAG Awards in 2011, Kim wore a dress that hung dangerously off one shoulder, threatening to expose her chest to everyone in attendance.

An expensive mistake

Attending a screening of her new comedy Office Christmas Party, jolly Jennifer Aniston debuted an all-black ensemble, but forgot to remove the label before leaving the house. Celine’s coat draped over her shoulders, and the talented former FRIENDS actress looked as stunning as ever.

Fortunately, no one managed to take a picture of the coat’s price, so Aniston was never embarrassed by the number printed on the tag.

Scary styling

The High School Musical star may not have had her dress or shoe heel break, but this is a serious wardrobe malfunction.

Pinterest // @buzzfeed

While the 2000s had a style all their own, there’s no way Ashley Tisdale wouldn’t fire her stylist after continually assuring her that a pink military skirt, bright orange silk belt, faux fur belt and white fishnet stockings were the appropriate attire.

Heads up, woman!

Vanessa Hudgens, who we will remember for her unforgettable role in the High School Musical saga, was in the middle of a performance being photographed by the paparazzi. Then, a little accident left her with her zipper down, revealing more than she would have liked.

(Left) Reddit // u/Helpimarock1234 | (Right) Pinterest // @karinasalas96

At least she was able to realize it in time to cover up and prevent the whole thing from getting worse. What an embarrassment the poor thing must have gone through! Who didn’t have a ‘dirt on me’ moment?

A dangerous move

Adam Levine is used to teenage girls screaming every time he enters the stage, but even the “Moves Like Jagger” singer couldn’t hide his surprise when the cheers reached high-pitched screams. After dropping his gaze downward, Levine understood what all the fuss was about: his zipper had been open the entire time.

Quickly, the cheers of excitement turned to disappointed boos as the Maroon 5 singer pulled up his pants and continued the show fully clothed.

To the rescue

She played the bad girl in Suicide Squad, but this time around Margot Robbie was a good girl in distress. Much like her role as Jane in Tarzan, Margot needed her partner, Alexander Skarsgard, to rescue her from her dysfunctional stylings.

Facebook // Tarzan 2016 “The Legend of Tarzan”

Robbie’s dress came loose from the force of the wind and the actress turned to Skarsgard to help her adjust the dress while simultaneously acting as her human shield, to block the wind.

You can’t take them out of Hollywood…

Oscar-winning talent Emma Thompson had a mishap at a Los Angeles ceremony honoring her stellar career. After Thompson wandered in with her shoes, she slipped to the side and onto the red carpet.

To lighten the mood and make a joke at her own expense, the Saving Mr. Banks star rolled sideways theatrically and pretended to be embarrassed. Shortly afterward Emma stood up and smiled at the camera.

Just in time

Naomi Watts joined her colleagues on stage for the 2015 Screen Actors Guild Awards as they were presented with the award for Best Performance in Birdman. As Watts made his way to the podium, he fell on actress Emma Stone’s skirt and went flying.

Facebook // KXNetwork

Fortunately for the King Kong actress, she managed to balance just in time and even managed to express a few words of thanks, “Thank you to the Screen Actors Guild. This is a wonderful, very collaborative experience,” she said.

Saved by Fabric

The Lil Mix star, who is known for her voice and fantastic figure, narrowly avoided a wardrobe malfunction as her revealing dress seemed to take on a life of its own on the red carpet.

Facebook // Leathergloves Leathergloves

Jade Thirlwall used both hands to cover her chest and lower abdomen while attending the Brit Awards in 2017. Fortunately, Thirlwall did so just in time before she was left completely uncovered due to the slippery nature of her satin dress.

Caught red-handed

Mariah Carey nearly hit the ground. The singer, who is known for balancing her expensive fashion taste with very capable lungs, failed the physical balance test when she tripped over her Christian Louboutin shoes in New York City.

Twitter // @dAfriWallStreet

Carey was promoting her new reality show Mariah’s World at the NBC Upfronts wearing a short sequined dress and fishnet stockings. Fortunately, her security guard caught her just in time.

An unexpected change

Curvaceous actress Ariel Winter avoided a major wardrobe mishap while attending the 2017 Emmy Awards, as her dress featured two long slits that ran up her thighs and dangerously dangled with every step she took.

Shuttershock // Kathy Hutchins

When asked about this bold outfit choice, the Modern Family star said, “I was looking for something different. I loved it and thought it was a beautiful dress. I usually do cleavage and not legs, so I decided to change it up. “

Sequins all over the place

Despite becoming more rebellious recently, Katy Perry didn’t expect to show as much as she did during her performance on Radio 1’s Big Weekend. The silver sequined mini-dress she wore played a trick on her, and the singer is no stranger to wardrobe scandals.

Pinterest // @radaronline

Truth be told, her outfits are so risqué that more than once she’s been seen starring in an awkward scene. Do you think she’s finally learned her lesson?

Lady In Red Turning Red

Modern Family actress Sarah Hyland thought she’d attend the 2017 Emmys looking fitter and more fabulous than ever in this slimming red dress showing off her flat stomach. That was until her ‘Spanx’ revealed the cutting truth.

Fortunately, she caught it in time and fixed it, but not before the paparazzi caught her priceless reaction to the mistake. The usually poised actress seemed mortified that her Spanx secret was revealed. better luck next time!

Near scandal

Former Grey’s Anatomy star Katherine Heigl was quick on her feet when the strap of her dress snapped while giving her speech at the ShoWest convention in Las Vegas. Heigl’s naturally curvaceous body would have been the talk of the town had she not caught the strap in time.

Reddit // u/yahoo_bot11

In a fortunate act he managed to avoid greater evils. So anyone who wanted to see a little more skin would be left wanting.

Be careful when walking

She managed to win over George Clooney and has since become the mother of his children, but Amal Clooney couldn’t conquer the dress under her feet.

While Ms. Clooney always dresses to perfection, it looks like this time she didn’t think about how complicated her long dress would be on the red carpet. Walking and trying to concentrate on everything around you doesn’t make focusing on your dress very simple.

A dangerous gash

Used to walking many red carpets and runways, Bella Hadid is not afraid to try some risky fashion choices. Although she looked like a true beauty queen in that red silk dress, the thigh-high slit caused more trouble than Bella would have expected.

Shuttershock // magicinfoto

In fact, Bella almost exposed a lot more than she bargained for, and no model needs a fashion disaster when all the cameras are fixed on them. poor thing!

If the shoe fits…

When William H. Macy helped his wife, Felicity Huffman, put her shoes back on, it was a real Cinderella moment. While dressed to impress, Macy acted like a true gentleman helping his wife with her high platform heels.

Pinterest // @popsugar

While this may have been a red carpet flop, it really was a very romantic moment for many, and many girls probably praised William H. Macy for doing something like this for his wife.

Harry won’t be able to save you this time

Everyone knows it’s raining in England, but even Emma Watson herself didn’t remember that when she dressed up for awards season. While she was given an umbrella to weather the storm outside, perhaps she should have chosen another dress, one that wouldn’t have exposed everything when the wind blew too hard.

At that moment, it would have been great if he could have transformed into his Hermoine character to cast a spell and make it all go away.

Are you all right, ma’am

It’s very rare to find actress Helen Mirren in an awkward situation. After all, she even played the Queen of England in one of her films because she was suited for the role. However, when taking to the red carpet, and none more so than the Queen, she fell when her foot got caught in her dress.

Twitter // @Daily_Record

Sometimes it pays to have a shorter dress, as the Queen probably knows, to make sure this doesn’t happen.

What a mess!

Typical domino effect: the guy on the floor is Adrien Brody, who slipped while trying to keep his mother from falling at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Benefit Gala, nearly knocking down Nicole Kidman in the process!

Pinterest // @britishvogue

While MET stairs are undoubtedly some of the best photos, they’ve also proven to be quite dangerous when celebrities start climbing them! We can’t blame Adrien Brody, a son has to save his mother in times like these.

The famous reversible dress

Mexican actress Angelique Boyer, wife of actor Sebastián Rulli, was in the news during the celebration of the 2019 TV y Novelas awards. The reason was that during the red carpet the actress wore a dress much more low-cut than usual in the chest area.

(Left) Pinterest // @monaleeza0143 | (Right) Twitter // @Mon1caLionheart

It wasn’t until the awards ceremony that her assistant told her that she was wearing the dress backwards, and that the plunging neckline at her bust was actually the back of your suit.

Nearly naked on the carpet

Plus-size model Yulia Rybakova, is a sign that long-tailed dresses should not be worn to busy places. While the model was posing for photos in a flashy red outfit on the carpet, one of her colleagues accidentally stepped on the train of her dress.

(Left) Twitter // @ElValencianoPD | (Right) Twitter // @carla_ponti

This caused that as soon as the model started to move forward the whole tail came off and she exposed her underwear and her voluptuous legs, surely much more than she wanted to show.

The queen of the falls

If we had to choose one person who needs lessons to learn how to walk in moments of stress, that would be Jennifer Lawrence. This actress already has a doctorate in falls during awards shows. One of her most legendary falls was at the 2013 Oscars.

Reddit // u/CurrentRoster

In the middle of the ceremony, when Lawrence was called upstairs to retrieve her statuette, the actress took a tumble in a $4 million Dior gown as she made her way up the stairs to the stage. Good thing she faced her fall with a big smile.

Lots of sweat and little underwear

Ariadna Gutierrez, known for her participation in the Miss Universe 2015 pageant, attended the premiere of the movie Return of Xander Cage, wearing a striking red dress in which she looked like a goddess.

Just Jared // WENN

However, the criticism was not long in coming when the press noticed that the former beauty queen had sweaty armpits, and as if that wasn’t enough, the long slit in the skirt of her dress showed that she wasn’t wearing underwear.

Even legends fall down

Singer Madonna was not spared from the spotlight at the 2015 Brit Awards. The interpreter of hits like Like a virgin, well known for giving excellent shows at her 61 years old, suffered an apparatus fall while singing and dancing on the stage of the awards.

Twitter // @anthelonious

At first, everyone present was alarmed by the blow she suffered, however, Madonna got up like a goddess to continue her performance without even complaining.

The stumble of the fashion specialist

Donatella Versace, known for being the head of the fashion house that lives up to her last name, had one of the most epic stumbles of 2007. The businesswoman, was on her way to an award ceremony wearing a beautiful long lilac dress, but while climbing some stairs her shoes got tangled with the garment and she fell.

Pinterest // @the_telegraph

Luckily there were security personnel near her and they were able to stop the designer from rolling down the stairs.

A slip can happen to anyone

Eva Longoria was the target of all eyes as she walked across the stage at the Laureus World Sports Awards in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. While the actress was walking in a long red dress and high heels, she slipped and almost ended up on the floor.

Page Six // Jessica Sager

After that slip Longoria had to walk very slowly and looking at her feet the whole time for fear of a repeat incident.

She didn’t see it coming

Actress Amy Schumer also had a run-in with the floor at the Time 100 gala, which brings together the 100 most influential people in the world according to Time magazine.

Shutterstock // Evan Agostini

Schumer was walking down the red carpet next to the couple Kim Kardashian and Kenye West, when she accidentally tripped while watching the press cameras. The actress ended up on the floor in what was one of the most legendary falls in entertainment history.

It was all over her

The only thing worse than going to a carpet scantily clad and having everything show, is going in a lot of clothes and still having everything exposed. This was the case for Nicki Minaj at the 2017 VMAS Awards. The rapper wore a tight-fitting jumpsuit that was made of pink synthetic leather.

Facebook // Maraj Magazine Latinoamerica

It was all fine and dandy, until everyone started noticing Minaj’s private parts were showing through her outfit, which made the singer quite uncomfortable.

Men are not spared from this

In 2015, singer Lenny Kravitz earned a very special place in our memory. While giving a concert in Stockholm he bent over roughly and his lederhosen ripped, exposing his private parts in front of the entire crowd.

Twitter // @Complex

Quickly Kravitz noticed the issue and stood up to disguise what had happened, but the people in the front row had already recorded everything first hand and the videos went viral very quickly.

Too much fabric brings problems

Actress Elizabeth Debicki was among those who had problems with her dress at the 2019 Vienna International Film Festival. The burnt orange Heresy star arrived on the carpet in a long black dress that had an even longer cape.

(Left) Daily Mail // WireImage | (Right) Daily Mail // PA Images

Although she looked gorgeous, the actress was having some trouble managing the cape of her dress as she posed for photos, so Mick Jagger had to step in to bail her out.

Barefoot in protest

Actress Julia Roberts showed up on the carpet at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival in a beautiful Armani dress and completely barefoot. Although everyone was shocked by Roberts’ attitude, it all had a reason to be.

Pinterest // @popsugar

The actress was protesting because in 2015 they hadn’t let a film producer into the festival because she wasn’t wearing heels. The producer had gone through having part of her foot amputated and couldn’t keep her balance in high shoes.Well done, Julia!

Too much out in the open

Since the beginning of her artistic career Lady Gaga has always accustomed us to innovative and 100% risky looks. But, either by accident or by her own will, at the 2011 CFDA Fashion Awards she showed more than expected.

Pinterest // @manualidadesnet

The singer went to the event wearing a black dress that included a mesh that covered her arms and chest, and a strapless piece with a long black train. Everyone’s surprise was that in the middle of the carpet the top of Gaga’s dress descended and exposed her breasts.

Watch out you stumble

English presenter Jools Holland took one of the most epic falls in the history of the GQ Awards. While strolling down the red carpet he inadvertently tripped and ended up falling to the floor in a crashing fashion. Luckily, the area she was walking through was clear and she didn’t drag anyone with her as she fell.

Daily Mail // WireImage

He got up a little sore and started making jokes about what happened to make the onlookers laugh at the event.

An attention-grabbing dress

During the 2014 VMAs, singer Rita Ora wore a red dress that drew a lot of attention from the press and those present. It was a low-cut piece both in the chest and in the back, which had a side slit starting at the waist, so the singer’s underwear was quite visible.

(Left) Twitter // @alycesrogers | (Right) Twitter // @stylepantry

To avoid accidents, Ora spent most of the event holding up the front of her dress so as not to show more than necessary.

Rolling downhill

One of the most violent episodes seen on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival. Fortunately, this security guard was waiting to prove his worth and dive in when needed. That’s how this star made it out of this embarrassing situation without breaking his head.

Twitter // @xiaomarkf

Unfortunately for Jason Derulo, however, the camera crew was ready to capture the epic moment, ensuring the man never missed a step again.

Big her mistake

“Side to Side” singer and former Nickelodeon star Ariana Grande attended the 2012 Teen Choice Awards in a rather unique dress. Layered with satin and tulle, the cream-colored dress was highlighted by the repeated macaroni print.

The pastel print captured the eyes of many, but what made photographers click their cameras was the effort of the singer, who clearly struggled to keep her dress intact during high winds….

But what the f…

The actress, prolific in films since the early 1990s, received the Academy Award for Best Actress, but there’s no need to tiptoe around the subject with the following image.

Let’s just say we’d hate to be in her shoes, despite the fact that Moore has received a lot of accolades and is widely celebrated for her performances in the film industry. With so much effort put into her look, we don’t understand how they overlooked the shoe size.

It blew up, dear

“Oh, the back of my dress just burst!” said singer Mariah Carey as she stood on stage, talking to Good Morning America host Lara Spencer in Central Park. The American Idol judge staggered awkwardly across the stage, after her performance.

YouTube // EntertainmentWOWtv

Carey wasn’t shy about the mishap and quickly realized it, turning to show her fans she said, “It blew up, honey. What should we call this, the Central Park saga?”

Surprise

Jennifer Garner has always had a great personality and impressive looks, and it’s this tremendously rare combination that helped her gracefully navigate the obstacle that caused her outfit to malfunction.

Life & Style // Splash News

The lovely actress attended the premiere of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, No Good, Very Bad Day at El Capitan in Hollywood on October 6, 2014 in a classic little black dress. Steve Carell, accidentally distracted Garner who ignored that her dress had been lifted.

Same dress? No way

The ultimate nightmare for some on a red carpet is to go…and have someone have the same dress as you. That nightmare was starred by singers Pink and Shakira, at the 2009 MTV Awards, who after getting a surprise when they saw themselves dressed alike, decided to look at it funny.

Twitter // @WorldShakifans

The two took a photo together, laughing, while wearing the same short gray Balmain dress. Pink was the one who had to give in, due to having another outfit ready for her live show.

A dress that can cover me!

One of the pioneering influencers worldwide, who has been able to spread the fashion world, has been the Italian Chiara Ferragni. And yes: even the most experienced ones like Chiara can have something like her dress breaking in the middle of the red carpet. And Chiara had a really bad time, as her beautiful red dress ripped.

Vanity Fair Italia // vanityfair.it

At that, she managed to laugh and impose herself on the situation. Some man who accompanied her, fortunately, lent her his jacket to cover her. Thank goodness.

Picking up an award, crawling

Nerves can get to even the biggest of people. Jon Hamm, one of the stars of the mythical series Mad Men, in 2015 took home the Emmy for best actor, in what was the last year of the series. So far so good. But when Jon went up to receive his award… to the floor!

E! News // Phil McCarten

Tina Fey, who was presenting the winner, was between laughter and succor. The pictures went around the world and are particularly funny, because it looked like Jon was crawling.

But how could she not be broken?

Sofia Vergara has the most famous curves in Hollywood. This renowned Colombian actress, who achieved worldwide fame thanks to her role in Modern Family, arrived at the Emmys in a stunning emerald green dress. But… it was too tight.

(Left) Facebook // Celebrity Fails | (Right) Reddit // r/PrettyOlderWomen

The truth is that Sofia’s curves could not withstand so much pressure and ended up giving way, right in the back. Sofia, with her cheerful character, took it with a lot of laughter and set about sewing it up so she could go back out to the gala.

Carpet, look at me closely

For many, Cara Delevingne is one of the most attractive women in the world. Her face of firm and marked features also captivates the red carpet… literally. And both Cara and designer Jonathan Saunders ended up face to face on the carpet, on the floor.

Twitter // @eentertainment

This happened at the GQ Man of the Year awards gala and they both laughed their heads off. The fall, which was too big, was even attributed to the fact that Cara may have had a few too many drinks, but nothing has been proven.

Not even in Venice

Many and many are in love with Alvaro Morata, Spanish footballer. But the truth is that Alvaro is accompanied by a beautiful model and actress, Alice Campello. As part of the Venice Film Festival, Alice was supposed to ride the water cab, but… the dress didn’t want to cooperate.

HOLA // @Alicecampello

The red carpet, for Alice, had to wait, because the rip spanned her entire thighs in the back. The dress had to be quickly sewn back on unexpectedly, but Alice did nothing but laugh the whole time.

Yes, there is now HD makeup

For some, makeup is slavery while, for others, it’s a passion. Angelina Jolie, one of the world’s most recognized actresses, has always had to wear makeup for a million red carpets. In this case, while presenting an HBO movie, many noticed that Angelina had makeup powder visible on her face.

Pinterest // @glamour

The explanation some found is that it’s HD powder, used in productions when a lot of detail is required and that it was only visible thanks to the inclement lights of the flashes.

The show can’t stop

Who hasn’t danced, twerked or at least laughed to one of Cardi B’s songs? This musical artist has gained popularity to exaggerated levels in a very short time and her concerts are a total sellout. That’s why there were many eyes that noticed how Cardi struggled with her dress.

Twitter // @brian_mansfield

In 2019, while dancing, her dress burst, to which Cardi had to improvise with a sash and try to put on another garment. The amazing thing is that she didn’t stop the show at any point.

For a repeat dress, there is no age

Who said dresses can only be worn by women of a certain age range? Miley Cyrus and Kim Cattral proved exactly the opposite, as they both showed up in a seductive metallic gray dress at the presentation of the Sex and the City sequel.

Shutterstock // Shutterstock

Kim could perfectly be Miley’s mother, due to the fact that she is 37 years older than her, and in this opportunity we could see how, for dresses, there is no age. Despite the initial embarrassment, both ended up laughing their heads off.

And the Goya nominees are…

On the floor! Or are they? Well, the Goya awards are the highest distinction in Spanish cinema. A few months before the ceremony, the nominees are announced and Elena Anaya, one of the most recognized Spanish actresses, was one of them. But as she was walking down the stairs, she went straight to the floor.

El Nacional // Marta Gambín

It’s that Elena fell all the way down, because her stumble left her horizontal on the floor. The Academy president jocularly told Elena that her performance was so good that they had believed the fall.

A dress torn or in pieces?

A Dior dress is made to withstand anything, or so it seems. Jennifer Lawrence we already know that she is the protagonist of one of the most spectacular falls in the history of red carpets, but with dresses she has also had events. At the 2013 SAGs, it looked like her Dior gown had ripped.

(Left) Pinterest // @amp | (Right) Pinterest // @thehuffpost

The truth is that this dress was made in layers and in her stumble, these layers stopped overlapping each other. That’s why her abdomen was left uncovered.

Smiling all the way down

2006 Teen Choice Awards. Unlocked memories, no doubt. These awards, then organized by the Fox network, were gaining more and more popularity and Jessica Alba was a young actress who captivated children and teenagers. And that too she did straight from the carpet.

People // WireImage

We’re not quite sure what happened, but the fact remains that Jessica fell to the floor in style. Even though she was totally down, she never lost her smile and her outfit didn’t suffer any mishap. What a skill to look beautiful.

Hips don’t lie

Right. Shakira’s concerts are a gigantic manifestation of physical activity: there’s no way to stand still. Shakira herself, with her dancing and hip movements, is the main protagonist and no matter how ergonomic her dresses are… not all of them can stand the jogging.

Facebook // YosiSideral 90.1

Shakira looked beautiful in a gold sequined dress as she sang on stage. What happened was that, between so many movements, the dress ended up tearing at the crotch. Nothing serious that prevented Shakira from continuing to sing.

Mask effect

Nicole Kidman is an incredibly beautiful woman and doesn’t need a drop of makeup, even though some would have you believe otherwise. Nicole’s skin color is a very white shade that contrasts with almost any makeup powder, and that time on the red carpet, the makeup played a trick on her.

Shutterstock // Startraks Photo

For Nicole, the powder gave her a very unpleasant anti-mask effect, which doesn’t meet any makeup needs. Fortunately, it didn’t go any further than that.

Happy broken year!!!

5! 4! 3! 2! 1… broken dress! Can you imagine being about to ring in the new year and suddenly, your dress breaks in the middle of the TV broadcast? Well, that’s what happened to presenter Paula Vázquez on the Spanish channel Antena 3. Just before the happy new year, the seamstress had to come in to fix the dress!

YouTube // Antena 3

Truth be told, everyone was somewhere between distressed and surprised, so they just drained laughing. Such an unforeseen event only added to the good mood and good omens.

There is no invisible underwear

An undisputed top model is Naomi Campbell. This British model has been on hundreds of red carpets throughout her life, let alone catwalks. And even these big stars have things like their underwear showing on the red carpet.

Pinterest // @whowhatwearuk

Come on, it’s no big deal. But it’s usually the artists who realize this and try to remedy it. Even for greats like Naomi, juggling a dress, a runway and stylish underwear that’s nearly invisible is a very difficult challenge.

There’s Oscar de la Renta for everyone

Paris Hilton loved this Oscar de la Renta dress, but so did Jane Seymour. They both found themselves in the same dress on a red carpet for the same designer label held in Beverly Hills. What neither of them imagined is that they would both choose the same dress and model it on the same red carpet.

E! Online // Jon Kopaloff

Oscar de la Renta sure had a lot of variety, but these dresses captivated and matched their smiles, as both Paris and Jane looked gorgeous.

40+ Tips and Tricks That Can Help You Look 10 Years Younger

40+ Tips and Tricks That Can Help You Look 10 Years Younger

We all want to look youthful and vibrant, regardless of how old we actually are, and the trick is to make the necessary lifestyle changes as early as possible. Prevention is easier to manage than correction, so it’s best to start thinking about the “future you” now. Whether you’re in your 20s or 40s, or already a beautiful 60-year-old, these tips and tricks will help you look like you’re aging backward!

Exercise

Getting a daily workout in will keep your body healthier, your mind sharper, and your appearance youthful. Not to mention that proper exercise can help prepare your body for the natural changes that occur when aging. For example, focusing on balance via yoga can help make a fall in your older age much less dangerous.

Exercise

According to a study done at Brigham Young University, people who work out regularly were significantly biologically younger than those who didn’t exercise as much. Well, it looks like it’s time to break out our running shoes!

Antioxidants

Eating antioxidants isn’t only good for your overall health and disease prevention, but it can benefit your appearance too. Antioxidants prevent and treat fine lines, wrinkles, dullness, and uneven skin tone, making for overall smoother skin.

Antioxidants

You can get your antioxidants by eating fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. It’s best to have these foods every day, if possible. Blueberries have been coined the ‘king of antioxidants,’ so if you’re a fan of these berries, feel free to stock up on them!

Don’t Use Products That Create Smoke

If you’re a fan of products that fill your lungs with smoke, we’re here to tell you that it’s time to quit. The harmful effects those products have on the body are endless! For the sake of this topic, we’ll focus on the effects these substances have on one’s appearance, but the harm to health shouldn’t be overlooked.

Don’t Use Products That Create Smoke

In terms of beauty, these products cause premature aging, wrinkles, stained teeth, and an odor that most people find unpleasant. So put down the lighter, it isn’t worth it.

Fermented Products

Consuming fermented foods can help with digestion and inflammation. Examples of such foods are yogurt, kefir, kimchi, miso, kombucha, and sauerkraut. Beauty products with fermented extracts in them are also a good idea, as they help with calming and brightening the skin.

Fermented Products

Look for products with fermented ginkgo biloba nut or mushroom extract. According to dermatologist Dr. Lindsey Zubritsky, a fermented beauty product “helps to keep the skin’s pH healthy and balanced, supports skin’s protective barrier, and alleviates irritation and dryness.”

Sleep

We all know that not getting enough sleep is bad for both our mental and physical health. But did you know that a poor sleep schedule can age your brain three to five years?! In terms of a youthful glow, people don’t call their rest ‘beauty sleep’ for nothing!

Sleep

Getting at least seven to eight hours of shut-eye a night can dramatically decrease the signs of aging. Keep in mind that if you don’t currently feel at your healthiest size, sleeping more also helps with weight loss.

Healthy Fats

We tend to think of fatty foods as bad, but there’s such a thing as healthy fat. Eating foods that are high in healthy fats will increase the skin’s elasticity as well as make the skin appear more smooth and supple, creating a more youthful look.

Healthy Fats

Such foods also protect the heart, reducing the risk of clotting, high blood pressure, and deteriorating blood vessel function. Foods with healthy fats include avocado, fish, olive oil, seeds, nuts, beans, and eggs.

Relax

Stress can reduce the skin’s elasticity, resulting in dry, dull skin and wrinkles. It also contributes to unwanted weight gain and a whole host of health complications. Therefore, although it’s easier said than done, it’s important to try to live as calmly as possible.

Relax

Activities that can reduce stress include meditating, resting, taking a walk outside, yoga, and socializing. It’s also worth noting that pets, specifically dogs, are great at helping relieve stress, anxiety, and depression. This fun fact is a surefire way to convince anyone who’s hesitant about getting a pet to adopt a four-legged friend!

Reduce Your Salt Intake

We love Salt Bae’s style of cooking just as much as the next person, but the truth is that salt is pretty unhealthy. We know that salt causes bloating in our stomachs, but what many people aren’t aware of is that it has the same effect on the face.

Reduce Your Salt Intake

Foods that are high in sodium can make your face appear puffy, especially under the eyes. The best way to wane yourself off salt is to replace it with sodium-free flavors, such as garlic, herbs, and lemon juice.

Drink Water

Drinking water will help with your health, weight control, and keeping your skin looking dewy and youthful. We’ve all heard the advice about having eight cups of water a day, but it turns out that’s pretty outdated.

Drink Water

According to Trent Nessler, the managing director of Baptist Sports Medicine in Nashville, “It depends on your size and weight, and also on your activity level and where you live. In general, you should try to drink between half an ounce and an ounce of water for each pound you weigh, every day.”

Stay Away From Adult Beverages

Even the best of us enjoy an adult beverage from time to time, but it’s best to moderate your intake of such drinks if you want to stay youthful. These drinks dehydrate you and, according to dermatologist Marnie Nussbaum, “dehydrated skin is more likely to appear dry, sallow, dull, and crepey.”

Stay Away From Adult Beverages

So, maybe try to tone things down on your next night out? If you’re not ready to give up your adult beverages just yet, make sure you drink extra water while enjoying your other drinks.

Handle Your Hands

Our hands tend to be the first things to age, but we can avoid rapidly maturing hands by taking extra care of them. Use hand cream, make sure not to forget your hands when applying sunscreen, and wear gloves for tasks that may be tough on your skin (for example, washing dishes).

Handle Your Hands

It’s also a good idea to get manicures from time to time, as the procedure will exfoliate your hands and strengthen your nails.

See a Dermatologist

People often think that they don’t need a dermatologist if they’re not interested in invasive cosmetic procedures. However, a good dermatologist should be able to provide you with a personalized skincare routine that doesn’t necessarily involve any expensive or dramatic treatments.

See a Dermatologist

For example, a dermatologist can prescribe stronger topical creams than you can get in the cosmetic aisle of a pharmacy. Of course, a medical professional can also spot signs of health problems on your skin that you may not even be aware of.

Wear Sunscreen

We all know about the importance of sunscreen, but, unfortunately, many people still tend to underuse this essential product. The truth is that you should be applying SPF of at least 30 on all areas that your clothes don’t cover. We suggest wearing sunscreen every day, regardless of the weather, and certainly not just at the beach.

Wear Sunscreen

The sun’s UV rays can penetrate through clouds, causing potential harm to your skin, as well as creating wrinkles. So, whether you can see the sun or not, throw on some sunscreen anyway!

Moisturize

You probably know how important moisturizing is, but do you know the right way to go about it? According to dermatologist Dr. Craig Kraffert, it’s best to apply your creams within three minutes of washing your face or body — before you dry off.

Moisturize

“All those pricey anti-aging products you’ve invested in will work more effectively if you use them on clean, moist skin. Not only will you get the benefits of the moisturizer itself, but you’ll help seal in the hydration from the water.”

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is beneficial in both food and topical creams. Dermatologists disagree as to whether or not eating Vitamin C is helpful for maintaining youthful skin, but it’s definitely good for your body’s overall health. It can be found in foods such as kale, peppers, and citrus.

Vitamin C

That being said, pretty much all the experts agree that topical Vitamin C helps in warding off wrinkles, dark spots, and sun damage. We’d air on the side of caution and take both types of Vitamin C!

Teeth Whitening

A tell-tale sign of maturing is the deterioration of the teeth. So, keeping your pearly whites, well, pearly and white, is essential to looking youthful. Brush your teeth at least twice a day, and avoid drinks that stain the teeth, such as coffee, tea, and red adult beverages.

Teeth Whitening

Quitting the usage of products that fill your lungs with smoke can also improve your smile. If you’re past the point of prevention, you can always brighten your chompers using whitening toothpaste and whitening strips — consult your dentist for the best option for you.

Watch Your Posture

Our bodies become used to certain motions and postures that we repeat on a regular basis. Unfortunately, that means that if we’re continuously using a posture that creates wrinkles or fine lines, it’ll quickly become a habit.

Watch Your Posture

One example that we’re probably all guilty of is looking down at our phones. Instead, try holding your device at eye level while sending a text. Implement little tricks like that throughout your day to ensure that your whole body, but especially your face, is upright and tight.

Let Your Hair Air Dry

While it’s easy to focus solely on our face and body to maintain a youthful appearance, our hair has a big effect on how old we look as well. As we age, our hair can become damaged more easily, losing its volume and shine.

Let Your Hair Air Dry

A great way to prevent this is to be kind to your hair and let up on the heat styling tools. Really, you should be using heating tools on your hair no more than once a week. Trust us, your tresses will thank you!

Liquid Concealer

If you find that your skin has acquired some wrinkles, it’s best to switch to liquid concealer rather than powdered foundation. Powdered foundations tend to settle into fine lines, making them more noticeable. Liquid foundation, on the other hand, blends much more easily, hiding wrinkles.

Liquid Concealer

The hydrating properties in liquid makeup will also benefit your skin much more than a powder. Fun fact, liquids and creams last on the skin longer anyway, so there’ll be less need for touch-ups!

Stick to Warm Foundation Colors

As we get older, our skin naturally gets a bit paler, so using a warmer-colored foundation can help keep you looking young and glowing. Makeup artist Sandy Linter explains, “Even if you have ivory skin, you need to go a little bit warmer as you get older.”

Stick to Warm Foundation Colors

Her fellow makeup artist Chrisanne Davis added that it’s best to stay away from matte foundations as well as cooler tones. “A light-reflective formula makes the skin look like it’s glowing.”

Change Up Your Haircut

There’s a reason that women tend to change their hairstyle as they get older; certain haircuts hide the signs of maturing really well, creating a more youthful appearance. Bangs and soft layers cover wrinkles along your eyes and forehead.

Change Up Your Haircut

If you feel that you’re lacking elasticity in the upper part of your face, pull your hair back tight for a completely natural facelift. For women who are self-conscious about the lower part of their face, use long layers to hide your jawline.

Lighten Your Hair Color

We all know to cover our grays if we want to appear younger. However, not everyone knows the best way to go about that. If you dye your hair a dark color, you’ll have to re-dye it often as the grey hairs will keep popping up.

Lighten Your Hair Color

If you opt for a lighter hue, though, the grays will blend in and look more like highlights than actual gray hairs. Furthermore, dark hair tends to accentuate fine lines and wrinkles. Rather than a sultry brunette, try out being a blonde bombshell instead!

Upgrade Your Wardrobe

This is a tricky one, as you want to dress age-appropriately, but you also don’t want to look worn out. A good trick is to find stylish clothes that’ll hide body parts that show signs of aging.

Upgrade Your Wardrobe

For example, a scarf can cover a sagging neck, while a sweater can hide jiggly arms. Jewelry can serve as a way to catch the eye without drawing attention to wrinkles. At the end of the day, though, these tips only work if you feel confident in that clothing.

Use the Right Makeup Brush

A lot of women try to massage or rub concealer into their under-eye area in an attempt to cover up dark circles and crow’s feet. However, this method will only stretch the skin around the eyes, accentuating the signs of aging.

Use the Right Makeup Brush

Instead, use a small, flat makeup brush on the eye area. Keep in mind that the skin around the eyes is about ten times thinner than the skin on the rest of your face, so be very gentle with it.

Hats

We already know that we don’t want too much sun exposure, so a stylish hat can be a great way to enjoy a day in the sun without inviting too many UV rays. If hats aren’t your thing, you can always use a bandana or carry an umbrella around.

Hats

Of course, the bigger your hat is, the more protection it’ll offer, but you want to go for at least a three-inch brim. Not only will a hat keep your face wrinkle-free, but it’ll also prevent heatstroke!

Avoid Toxins

There are a lot of toxins in the environment, and we can’t really avoid all of them, but we can take precautions to make sure we’re affected by these toxins as minimally as possible.

Avoid Toxins

Drive with the windows up when in heavy traffic. Avoid hanging around people who are using products that fill their lungs with smoke. At the end of the day, make sure to exfoliate and wash off all the toxins you’ve encountered in your environment.

Shake Your Sugar Habit

We’re not saying to never enjoy a piece of birthday cake or a donut, but we are saying that an excess amount of sugar can age you prematurely.

Shake Your Sugar Habit

Dr. Ajay Kumar Ajmani explains, “High sugars lead to an increase in the Glycation of proteins leading to the formation of advanced glycation end products, which can cause functional and structural damage to them, resulting in fast aging.” It’s worth noting that natural sugars, such as fruits, are fine — it’s processed sugar that’s the problem.

Cut Down on Caffeine

If you’re a coffee or tea lover, it may be time to switch to a decaf option. Caffeine messes with our blood vessels’ ability to produce collagen and deliver antioxidants and nutrients to the skin.

Cut Down on Caffeine

As a result, too much caffeine can cause the skin to wrinkle and sag. Don’t worry, though, we’re not saying, “never have a cup of joe!” We’re just suggesting you perhaps limit yourself to one or two cups a day if you want to stay truly vibrant.

Facials

There’s no need for invasive or dangerous procedures if you want to look youthful. Instead, just head over to a spa and get a facial! Regular facials can keep your skin looking fresh, smooth, and young without any of the risks bigger procedures have.

Facials

One type of spa treatment that can help your skin is derma planning, which is an exfoliating facial. There’s also micro-needling, which stimulates collagen. A CO2 lift is basically a face mask times 10. Lastly, you can try a VI peel, also known as a chemical peel.

Blend Your Makeup

Blending your makeup is always important, but even more so when you’ve got wrinkles or fine lines that you’re trying to smooth out. One trick to blending is making sure your skin is well-moisturized before applying your makeup.

Blend Your Makeup

If you’re worried about looking too shiny, simply go for an oil-free moisturizer before starting your makeup routine. When blending, make sure to use gentle dabbing motions and upward strokes that follow the natural contours of the face.

Catch Some Sun

Okay, we know we’ve emphasized the importance of protecting yourself from the sun, but it’s also necessary to get some sunlight if you want to look younger.

Catch Some Sun

Vitamin D keeps our bones, skin, and hair healthy, so while you don’t want to overdo it, you do want to make sure you’re not living like a vampire. Ideally, you should be aiming for 30 minutes of sunlight a day, while wearing sunscreen and protecting your head, of course.

Grow Out Your Eyebrows

Remember when Cara Delevingne became famous and, suddenly, everyone was growing out their eyebrows? As it turns out, the bushy eyebrow beauty trend is backed by science! Our hair tends to thin as we age, including our eyebrow hairs, so full eyebrows are psychologically associated with youth.

Grow Out Your Eyebrows

For a younger look, let your eyebrows grow out a bit, and when you do shape them, don’t create a harsh arch. Given how painful and time-consuming tweezing can be, we’re gonna take this as a win!

Mascara

You may not have thought twice about skipping mascara when you were young, but as we age, this beauty product becomes more and more crucial. Mascara, eyelash curlers, and fake lashes can all come in handy if you want your eyes to look large and bright.

Mascara

Long, luscious eyelashes make people look energized and awake, two things that are most certainly equated with youth. And, of course, wide eyes are associated with youthfulness due to the fact that children are known to have large eyes.

Collagen

Collagen is what strengthens, hydrates, and gives our skin elasticity. Our bodies naturally produce less collagen as we age, resulting in dryer skin that can become wrinkled. While collagen supplements are always an option, there are a lot of foods that help the body produce more collagen as well.

Collagen

Such foods include berries, garlic, chicken, fish, bone broth, egg whites, and many citrus and tropical fruits. Sleep, healthy eating, exercise, and steam bath therapy can also boost collagen production.

Vitamin A

Vitamin A is beneficial both as a topical cream and ingested via food. Consuming this vitamin boosts collagen production, enhances the immune system, improves the skin and softens wrinkles, and prevents age-related macular degeneration (blurred vision).

Vitamin A

Overall, Vitamin A slows down the body’s maturing, both inside and out. Vitamin A can be found in carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach, and mangos. Using topical creams with Vitamin A in them will treat acne, splotchy skin, fine lines, and rough skin. You can use creams, serums, or oils to get this vitamin’s benefits.

Cover Crow’s Feet

Crow’s feet are the wrinkles that appear first, for most people, giving away their age. While many believe that crow’s feet are cute, and we’re inclined to agree, they can be a source of insecurity for a lot of women.

Cover Crow’s Feet

If you do want to cover up these wrinkles, make sure you’ve got the right technique. If not, you can make them even more noticeable. Prime the skin with some form of moisturizer, apply liquid concealer in an upward, circular motion, and (if you want) finish with a setting spray.

Try New Things

There’s a reason that certain people seem to age overnight — it’s because they’ve stopped living a physically and mentally active lifestyle. Trying new things will keep your brain sharp, and your body will follow suit.

Try New Things

Research shows that people who feel younger actually do look younger, so make sure that you’re not giving up on yourself. Take up a new hobby, join a class, travel the world, and do whatever it takes to keep your mind and body working!

Vitamin E

Vitamin E prevents signs of maturing, such as age spots, fine lines, and wrinkles. It also helps the skin keep that youthful glow by stimulating blood flow and collagen production. Vitamin E can even help with hair growth and shine!

Vitamin E

This vitamin can be found in nuts, seeds, vegetable oil, and avocado. Like so many other nutrients, you can find Vitamin E in topical creams, oils, and serums. On that note, many people believe topical Vitamin E can help with stretch marks and scarring, although that’s yet to be scientifically proven.

Wash Your Face

Washing your face twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, is the absolute minimum. If you sweat a lot, it’s best to cleanse even more often (always blot sweat, rather than wipe).

Wash Your Face

Make sure you’re completely removing your makeup at the end of each day, too, so it doesn’t clog your pores. While rinsing your face isn’t that exciting of a tip, it’s one of the most important ones. Some experts even say that neglecting to cleanse your face can age your skin by three months!

Check Your Facial Expressions

We’re not suggesting that you act like a robot and stare blankly at things throughout the day. However, it’s worth keeping in mind that overexaggerated facial expressions can cause wrinkles.

Check Your Facial Expressions

If you notice you’re squinting at your laptop, maybe try computer glasses. If you’re someone who scowls a lot, perhaps soften your face a bit. Again, feel free to express yourself, but maybe aim for laugh lines rather than a furrowed brow.

Nude Lipstick

Bright red lips may have been your signature look in your 20s, but as you age, nude lipstick becomes the better option. Chanel Meekins, the co-founder of Pierre Michel Beauty, explains, “Nudes, light pinks, and corals are all great choices.”

Nude Lipstick

“The reason these shades are ideal for looking younger is that they give the appearance of fuller lips. […] One thing to keep in mind as you shop for a new lipstick is that the darker the shade, then the thinner your lips will look.”

Vitamin D

Vitamin D, otherwise known as the Sunshine Vitamin, helps with fine lines, wrinkles, and acne. It also does a lot for the body in terms of preventing age-related diseases. A great way to get some Vitamin D in your food is to eat eggs, fish, mushrooms, beef liver, and orange juice, as well as dairy products fortified with Vitamin D.

Vitamin D

The Sunshine Vitamin can also be applied topically via creams, which is particularly helpful in fighting psoriasis (a condition that causes flaky/scaly skin).

Face Yoga

Some people swear by face yoga, while others insist that it doesn’t do anything. We see it this way: there are many potential benefits and no risks involved, so why not try it?

Face Yoga

The idea behind its effectiveness is that we work the muscles in our body to keep them fit and tight, so why wouldn’t we do the same with the muscles in our faces? There are lots of face yoga apps, workshops, and YouTube channels if you do choose to give this exercise a try.

Exfoliate

It’s important to find the Goldilocks zone of exfoliating. You definitely want to make sure it’s a part of your skincare routine. However, it’s important not to overdo it. Exfoliating removes dead skin to reveal a smoother and more youthful complexion underneath, so it’s certainly worth adding to your regimen.

Exfoliate

However, over-exfoliation can be counterproductive as it irritates the skin. A telltale sign that you’re overdoing it is if your face stings when you wash it or apply your other products. It’s all about finding that happy medium!

Be Confident

Remember that confidence is beautiful, so own your age — whatever it may be! Growing older is an honor that, unfortunately, not everybody gets to have. So, rather than feel bad when you notice a new wrinkle or see a gray hair coming in, recognize that you get the privilege of reaching a mature age.

Be Confident

So, love every laugh line, and smile at every bit of sagged skin, it just shows that you’re having experiences and embracing life — which means you’re doing it right!
