If there is something we all can agree on, anything can happen during an award ceremony, from former couples reuniting to celebrities ditching their Christian Louboutin heels, as Selena Gomez did at the SAG Awards.

The 29-year-old singer, actress, and businesswoman left everyone asking what happened to her shoes when she took the stage barefooted alongside her fellow actor and Only Murders in the Building co-star, Martin Short.

After presenting the award for outstanding female actress in a supporting role to West Side Story star Ariana DeBose, viewers reacted to Gomez’s feet on social media. “selena presenting barefoot is the most selena gomez thing ever,” one person wrote on Twitter. At the same time, another said, “#SelenaGomez barefoot is my fav part of the #SAGAwards so far!”

But the reason why Selena Gomez presented barefooted at the SAG Awards is that she tripped and fell on the carpet, as one of her heels reportedly broke.

Luckily Gomez, didn’t suffered any serious injury and her assistant rapidly helped her to get back up.

Earlier this month, the star revisited another red carpet moment. Gomez opened up about her 2018 Met Gala look in an interview with Glamour UK, describing it as a “beauty disaster.”

“While I was getting ready for the Met Gala a few years ago, we put on a bit of tanning lotion, and it looked beautiful – but as the night went on, it kept getting darker and darker,” she recalled. “When I sat down, I saw a photo of myself, and it looked completely orange. And here I am at this prestigious event – my first thought was – ‘I have to get out of here!’”
