15 Painfully Awkward Celebrity Pictures Which You Can Never Unsee

By KK Angus, 5 March 2018

Hollywood is all about being camera-ready and uber glam - and for the most part, our favourite stars know their job to the T. But what happens when someone catches them picking a nose or doing something very, very, unphotogenic? From Beyonce to the Kardashians to Julia Roberts, everybody have some (in)famously bad photos out in the public. It’s time to take a look at them. 

1Beyonce

Remember when in Super Bowl 2013, Beyonce just paused for a second, and that was the moment the camera thought of capturing her. Maybe she had her feet caught in something or just happened to notice something in the crowd. But the camera, being as unforgiving as it is, decided to capture that singular moment, which went on to become memes, jokes, and even bumper stickers for the Beyhive.

2Scarlett Johansson and John Travolta

In 2015 Oscars, John Travolta tried hugging Scarlett Johansson who wasn’t looking and was posing for the camera. And the moment is still one of the weirdest photo-op moment in Hollywood history. Though Scarlett later confirmed that he was just being friendly, we bet John wants to go back in time and take back the gesture.

3Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian is known for her Insta-perfect selfies and A-grade curves. But what happens when the curves have not passed any filters, and the paparazzi just catch her off-guard? Kim K was vacationing in Mexico, and had a fun beach day out, that us unless she saw her cellulite has been splashed all over the Internet. In fact, Kim was so upset, she even had a mini-breakdown which was recorded for her reality show Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

4Kylie Jenner

The youngest member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan has been through a lot of criticism for her surgeries and lip fillers. And while the 20-year-old Kylie did grow up too fast, she has had to face her fair share of awkward camera moments, as makeup and fillers can only hide so much. For instance, during on her dress-up sessions, she live-recorded the whole thing, and fans noticed that she looks horrible in the pictures. Not only does she have too much make-up on, she also looks older for her age, and her weaves look totally fake. She also looked totally different than how she usually looks.

5Ed Westwick

Remember when we spotted Gossip Girl’s Chuck Bass picking his nose in public. Ed might be all British smoothness on camera, and sometimes off-it, but he was once pictured picking his nose on the sets of one of his films. And that photo went on to become seriously public.

6Taylor Swift Olivia Munn

Remember when Taylor Swift hugged Olivia Munn at the 2013 People’s Choice Awards and Olivia did not reciprocate? Not only was it painfully awkward but also quite a long moment on camera, that was not edited (maybe on purpose).

7Sofia Vergara

Sofia Vergara might be known for her stellar curves and beautiful hair, but she has bad days too. The Latin bombshell was pictured on the New York sets of her show Modern Family in a really disheveled state. Not only was she wearing total rags, but she has also had her hair in disarray and really overdone make-up. We don’t know why, but Sofia was clearly not having the best of time.

8Lady Gaga

You might wear tracksuits or jumpers when you go hiking, but you’re no Lady Gaga. The pop sensation who is famous for her outrageous outfits, took her love for the bizarre too far when she went on to wear a red carpet worthy ensemble for hiking. Lady Gaga went on a hike in Montauk along with boyfriend Christian Carino, and while Christian was wearing a regular tee and shorts, Gaga turned up in an off-shoulder black crop top and pencil skirt. She even wore heels for this, and no wonder sent Twitter into a tizzy.

9Rihanna and Chris Brown

Remember when Rihanna attended a celebrity basketball game and gave a terrible cold shoulder to her abusive ex Chris Brown? Not only did Rihanna look visibly unimpressed and disappointed, but also started walking up and down the viewer’s gallery, to make a point of how bored she was. Her fans took it as a sign of her trying to humiliate Chris, and we’d say it worked.

10Madonna

A gold grill is not meant for everybody, and especially not for a 59-year-old woman. Madonna showed up at one of the red carpets wearing a gold grill in her teeth, along with a black gown and looked quite ridiculous. Since, it was such an unusual choice of an accessory, fans actually thought she had messed up her teeth, and only realized it was a grill upon closer inspection.

11Kim Kardashian

Nobody likes getting mobbed, and Kim Kardashian is no exception.The reality star was headed to a show at the Paris Fashion Week, decked in Balmain when the crowd went out of control and her bodyguards couldn’t do much. In those terrifying seconds, Kim K looked like terribly scared and shocked. And though the situation was eventually handled, the pictures went viral almost immediately.

12Angelina Jolie

The worst make-up fail in the history of Hollywood is a very simple one, but deeply humiliating. Angelina Jolie overdid on the powder for one of the red carpets, and to make it worse - nobody came to fix it. Not assistants, not her husband Brad Pitt (who was there) and not even the photographers. Angelina looked quite ridiculous, but even more ridiculous is the fact that it wasn’t fixed before she hit the red carpet.

13Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus’s make-up fail is very similar to Angelina Jolie, but totally made her look like the Joker. The fact, that she was wearing red lipstick was bizarrely unflattering in this situation. It kinda makes you think if she should fire her stylist or assistant for letting her being photographed like this.

14Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer Lawrence is known for pulling the funniest of faces, but this picture was not an intentional one. At one Hollywood event, she probably noticed something unpleasant and expressed her displeasure and of course, the paparazzi picked that moment to capture.

15Cara Delevingne

Cara might be the world’s more sought after supermodel but a moment of carelessness can of course bring great embarrassment to anybody, especially if camera are involved. At a beauty event, Cara could not hide her shock at noticing something and ended up looking painfully weird.
