Even Hermione can’t magic her way out of a bad pair of heels.
Emma Watson took a hard tumble Thursday night (November 12) outside GQ’s 31st annual Men of the Year Party at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles — and the whole thing was caught on camera. The Harry Potter star, 36, tripped in her black-and-white striped heels on the hotel’s steep pavement entrance, right in front of the photographers and onlookers gathered outside.
And then she did the most Emma Watson thing possible: she got right back up and laughed it off.
A Rare Night Out
Watson doesn’t pop out often, which is exactly why the clip is traveling around the world. She skipped the red carpet entirely and headed inside with her longtime friend, DJ Tucker Halpern, wearing a black floral mini dress with a vintage Valentino coat — and those striped heels that had other plans for her evening.
She’s Fine — and the Internet Loves Her for It
Let’s be clear about the part that matters: no serious injury was reported. Watson recovered in seconds, brushed herself off with a smile, and went in to enjoy the party like nothing happened. The night was hosted by Matt Damon, Andrew Garfield and Chris Rock — GQ’s Leading Man, Performer and Auteur of the Year — and Watson herself is part of the family: GQ named her its Woman of the Year back in 2013.
The video has since been shared everywhere, and the reaction says it all — people aren’t laughing AT her, they’re loving how she handled it. A fall in front of a wall of cameras is everybody’s nightmare. Laughing it off and keeping it moving? That’s a masterclass.
Be honest: if YOU went down in front of a crowd of photographers, are you laughing it off like Emma — or are you running straight back to the car?
