Kirsten Dunst is just like us — at least when it comes to having the occasional clumsy moment while people are watching. The actress appeared at the 2024 Oscars on March 10 and saved herself from falling on the red carpet in the most graceful way possible.

Dunst walked the carpet alongside her husband, Jesse Plemmons, in a fitted white custom Gucci gown, a deep side part, and a bold red lip combo. While walking down the carpet and taking their time to pose for photos, the Civil War actress accidentally bumped into the large, golden Oscar statuette in the background — but instead of falling down, she did a tiny pirouette turn and avoided the moment like a pro, even laughing in pictures.

The Spider-Man actress wasn't the only one who had a clumsy moment on the red carpet, either. Liza Koshy fully fell on her backside while walking the red carpet, but it's understandable. She paired her red gown with sky high platform shoes that tipped the scales against her. "I'm good! I've got my ankles insured, so that's fine. It's a write-off," she joked after getting up and having a person from as someone from her team repositioned her gown properly for photos.

While Dunst was not nominated for any awards at the Oscars, she won brownie points for best recovery on the red carpet.
