14 celebs get caught out by spectacular fashion falls and fails

Everyone from the Jennifer Lawrence to Madonna, Mariah Carey and Duchess of Cambridge have suffered epic style blunders

LIFE is unfair and sometimes bad things happen to good people.

We’ve all been left red-faced after walking out of the loo with toilet paper stuck to our shoes or cringed after finding out our skirt was tucked into our pants.

But, fortunately, even the A-list isn’t immune to epic fashion fails.

Everyone from pop superstar Mariah Carey to Hollywood darling Jennifer Lawrence and the usually-polished Duchess of Cambridge have fallen foul of style mishaps.

Kate, 34, was left in a pickle after she got her high heel caught in grating during a St Patrick’s Day parade in 2013.

Ever the professional, the mum-of-two remained calm, kept smiling and yanked the stiletto out with the help of her husband Prince William.

Meanwhile, Hero hit maker Mariah Carey had to lean on her attentive helpers for support after one of her patent platforms fell off while she was strutting up a red carpet in New York.

The 46-year-old diva avoided tumbling over and flashing her pants by grabbing onto two security guards.

Some celebrities, including Madonna, Jennifer Lawrence and Helen Mirren, unfortunately did fall to the floor following awkward wardrobe malfunctions.

Madonna famously flew off the stage at the BRIT Awards last February after a dancer pulled on her black cape.

The 57-year-old quickly got back up and carried on with her performance as if nothing had happened.

Meanwhile, Jennifer Lawrence tripped over her floor-skimming pink gown while walking up the stairs to collect her Best Actress gong at the 2013 Oscars.

The 25-year-old starlet hung her head in shame until she managed to regain her composure.

Helen Mirren, 70, suffered a similar incident after struggling to walk up stairs while attending a film festival in Berlin.

The dame ended up on all fours until someone ran over and helped her.

Some stars have seemed oblivious to their enormous fashion fails.

Tunisian actress Zaina Dridi pulled sultry poses for photographers at a film premiere in October and didn't seem to notice that she was flashing her nude knickers.

A gust of wind had blown her daring silk turquoise gown up, revealing her skimpy underwear.

The same thing happened to Kristen Bell, who flashed her thong while on the red carpet in California.

The 35-year-old actress' candyfloss pink frock accidentally revealed more than she had possibly intended.

Meanwhile, Bruce Forsyth's wife Wilnelia kept grinning after the cape on her canary-coloured frock kept blowing up and whacking her in the face.

The 58-year-old model wasn't fazed and didn't even try and hold it down.
