Unflattering Celeb Photos We’re Sure They Wish Were Taken Off The Internet!

Emma Watson

Wardrobe malfunctions are a thing that can happen to anyone, even celebrities, and at the worst times. Emma Watson was pictured on the red carpet at the premiere of “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” in 2009. Apparently, it wasn’t a malfunction, as the dress had a high slit in the front.

Watson is known for her upbeat style choices in the entertainment industry. The photo may have been poorly timed and not taken from the best angle as she was distracted at the time. Either way, she walked the carpet along with her costars with grace. Taking on fewer roles, she was cast in the 2019 film “Little Women.”

Salma Hayek

There are many reasons why fans love Salma Hayek, some of them being her skills and sense of humor. Fans got to see that when she posted a picture of herself in between two doctors in what was clearly the most inappropriate shirt for the hospital. Well, the choice of wardrobe wasn’t hers, as it was for a movie she was shooting titled “Drunk Parents.”

Hayek suffered a minor head injury while on the set of the movie in 2016 and had to be rushed to the ER. Aside from seeing a funny Hayek, we get to see her fierce side in the 2021 Marvel Cinematic Universe movie “Eternals.”

Pamela Anderson

Pamela Anderson is best known for modeling for Playboy magazine and for her appearances on the television series “Baywatch.” She is also an author with two autobiographies and four novels to her name. In 2006, she received a star on the Canadian Walk of Fame.

Although Anderson is very big on charitable causes like animal rights activism and female empowerment, she has been captured in not-so-great moments. In this photo, for example, she was captured during a night out at Los Angeles’ Chateau Marmont hotel. In 2022, Anderson announced that she had split with her husband, Dan Hayhurst.

Tara Palmer-Tomkinson

Tara Palmer-Tomkinson was no stranger to the entertainment scene. She gained prominence for being an English socialite and television personality. She has also been on reality shows like “I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!” and appeared on a celebrity Christmas edition of “Blind Date.”

She also played the piano, a talent she showcased at events at the Queen Elizabeth Hall and the Royal Albert Hall. Palmer-Tomkinson’s family had close ties to the royal family, which is one other reason the paparazzi had so much interest in her. From this photo, you can deduce she was experiencing stomach troubles. Unfortunately, she passed away in 2017.

Kate Middleton

The picture shows Kate Middleton at a moment that was not her finest. It was at an ’80s themed roller skating event that Middleton had co-organized in 2008. The event was hosted to aid the Children’s Hospital in Oxford.

During the skating event, Middleton fell flat on her back. It almost knocked the wind out of her. She’s probably long since forgotten about the event, having become the Princess of Wales in 2022. This meant she would be saddled with numerous responsibilities—one of which includes being there for her husband, Prince William, through his grieving moments following the demise of the Queen in 2022.

Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga is famous for her incredible music talent. Since she started her career in 2001, she has stolen many hearts and has numerous accolades to her name. However, one thing that makes her stand out to fans is her unique styles. She is well known for over-the-top costumes that leave people in awe.

In fact, it’s quite uncommon to find her without the costumes. Unfortunately, she has also been captured looking less than flattering before and this is one of those photos. In 2022, she started her first all-stadium concert tour titled “The Chromatica Ball stadium tour,” in support of her album, “Chromatica.”

Kaley Cuoco

We must say that’s quite a hearty laugh from Kaley Cuoco. The “Big Bang Theory” star made quite an impression with her character as Penny on the show. Cuoco shows she not only makes people laugh for a living but also knows how to have a good laugh herself.

She was outside a restaurant after a wonderful girls’ night out with friends. One of her friends said something that had her in a fit of laughter and making funny faces. It’s good to know she’s not the only funny one in the friend group. We get to see her funny side in the 2022 film “The Man from Toronto.”

Julia Roberts

Julia Roberts has managed to mark her spot as a legend in Hollywood thanks to numerous brilliant performances. An Oscar and Golden Globe Award-winning actress, Roberts has been in several critically acclaimed projects, including “Pretty Woman,” “Runaway Bride” and “Notting Hill.” She is also not a stranger to being ranked highly on lists for her looks.

Despite this, Roberts has some unflattering pictures on the internet, like almost everyone does. While this might be considered particularly provocative with the hair under her arm, some would argue that she still looked great in the photo. In 2022, she starred in the miniseries “Gaslit.”

Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer Lawrence remains a true child at heart. Her fans are drawn to her not only for her beauty and outstanding acting skills, but because she is so free and down to earth. We see that in the photo where she was goofing around. Lawrence is known to have these moments on red carpets and event shows.

Her acting talents are well appreciated as she was the highest paid actress in 2015 and 2016. She has graced many red carpets and doesn’t take herself too seriously most of the time. When she’s not being goofy on the red carpet, she’s on a new project, such as the 2022 flick “Causeaway.”

Megan Fox

Apart from being one of Hollywood’s sweethearts, Megan Fox is undeniably beautiful – a fact many would agree with. The chances of seeing photos of her looking bare-faced are quite rare. While this might not be one of her best shots, Fox seemed to be having a good time with her eyes closed and tongue rolled up.

Her outstanding performance in the blockbuster film, “Transformer,” brought her to the limelight. She’s since moved on to star in bigger projects like the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle,” which was released in 2014, and its 2016 sequel. She also starred in the romantic/comedy film, “Good Mourning,” which was released in 2022.

Jessica Biel

Jessica Biel is no stranger to receiving accolades as she has received many, including nominations for two Golden Globe Awards. Although she started her career as a vocalist, appearing in musical productions, she gained fame for acting. Biel is one of the most sophisticated actresses you’ll find out there.

However, she didn’t look that sophisticated when she was captured taking out the trash in a bathrobe in 2019. While it’s clear that Beil is no stranger to pictures, you can tell she wasn’t expecting to be taken looking like this. In 2022, Biel both starred in and executive produced the miniseries “Candy” as the lead character, Candy Montgomery.

Kate Moss

Some people may say that supermodel Kate Moss may like her liquor a little too much. Others say she’s cool and makes daytime drinking look fun. Regardless of what they may think, there have been more than a few photos of her being intoxicated in public.

Whether it’s a regular party or a humanitarian cause like the image above, Moss does love her drinks. She was seen having a good time at a charity dinner at the Bloomsbury ballroom. She was enjoying the music so much that she had to get in front of the speaker. Moving on from the urban lifestyle, she reallocated to the Cotswolds in 2022.

Christina Aguilera

Christina María Aguilera has put in years and a lot of effort into building her career as an actress, television personality, singer, and songwriter. Her popularity as a singer, is anchored on her ability to sustain high notes. She has an incredible four-octave vocal range, which earned her the nickname, “voice of a generation.”

Despite the years spent perfecting her skills on stage, Aguilera, like many others, has had her weird moments on stage. This one, in particular, wasn’t her best as both her hair and face weren’t looking very comfortable. Nonetheless, her music is top notch with tracks like “Suéltame” released in 2022.

Brooklyn Decker

A model and actress, Brooklyn Decker is most famous for her appearances in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and movies like “Just Go With It” and “What To Expect When You’re Expecting.” However, she spends most of her time all glammed up in front of the paparazzi. She’s never one to shy away from sharing moments where she doesn’t look so glamorous.

For example, she shared this photo of herself at the dentist’s on her social media page. While it’s certainly not her at her best, it no doubt endears people to her. In 2022, she reprised her role as Mallory Hanson in the seventh season of “Grace and Frankie.”

Sofía Vergara

Fans will always remember Sofía Vergara for her role as Gloria in the sitcom “Modern Family.” In fact, she is loved so much that she was the highest-paid actress in American television for many years. However, Gloria isn’t all fans love about Vergara. They love how beautiful she is. In fact, she is no stranger to “most beautiful” lists.

She was once named one of People magazine’s 50 most beautiful people in the world. Yet, we found this photo of Vergara, but it’s not what you think. This photo was taken during a shoot for “Modern Family.” In 2022, Vergara reprised her role as a judge on “America’s Got Talent.”

Prince William And Kate

Prince William and Kate may be one of the most sophisticated couples out there, but they’ve certainly had their share of fun. Before they got married in 2011, they had a rich partying history, and some of the videos of their old days recently went viral.

The pair met while studying at St Andrews in 2001. Later on, in 2004, they started their romance officially before splitting up for some time in 2007. They welcomed their first child in 2013, their second in 2015, and their third in 2018.  In 2022, following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, they were given the title of Prince and Princess of Wales.

Cameron Diaz

Cameron Diaz dominated the Hollywood scene for decades and was regarded as one of the most bankable actresses in the world. And it was all for good reasons too. Diaz knows her craft and has spent years delivering it. Right from the start of her career in the 1994 movie, “The Mask,” she has managed to establish herself as one of the best in the acting game.

It also helps that she’s very easy on the eyes. However, even the most beautiful actresses have off days, and this picture is proof that even Diaz is not immune. In 2020, she launched an organic wine brand, Avaline, with Katherine Power.

Rihanna

There’s no denying that Rihanna is one of the best in the game, and there are records to prove this. She is the second-best-selling female music artist of all time, with sales of over 250 million records worldwide. She also has as many as nine Grammy Awards and 13 American Music Awards, not to mention other accolades.

Rihanna is also a style icon who’s never afraid to try new things. Despite this, she’s been caught looking unflattering quite a few times on camera. In this bare-faced photo, for example, you can tell it was just a case of bad timing. In 2022, Rihanna welcomed her first child with rapper ASAP Rocky.

Anne Hathaway

Anne Hathaway has been a fan favorite for many decades. Since she started her career in 1999 and gained prominence for her lead role in Disney’s 2001 film  “The Princess Diaries,” she has managed to maintain her star quality. Over the years, Hathaway has gotten a lot of accolades and awards.

In her line of work, you can imagine that there are a lot of reasons to get all glammed up, and Hathaway usually knows how to do this well. However, like the rest of us, she has been caught looking not so great on camera too. In 2022, she starred in the miniseries “WeCrashed.”

Mila Kunis

With her good looks and talent, Mika Kunis is one of the most sought-after actresses in Hollywood. Fans enjoyed a front view of her formative years as Kunis started acting at a young age. She started as Jackie Burkhart on “That ’70s Show” when she was 14. Since then, she has continued to star in A-list projects.

With all these to her name, you can guess that she stays in front of the camera a lot of the time. Despite this, she was photographed looking not so ready for the paparazzi in this picture. In 2021, she starred in the movie “Breaking News in Yuba County.”

Julianne Hough

Julianne Hough is a bundle of talent. An actress, singer, and dancer, she has won two seasons of ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars” with her celebrity partners and was on the judging panel for three years. She also featured in the 2001 film “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.”

In 2013, Hough received a lot of backlash for dressing as Suzanne Warren from “Orange Is the New Black” for a Casamigos Tequila Halloween party in Hollywood. However, she apologized later on. In 2022, she made her Broadway theatre debut in “POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive.”

Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods has had his fair share of embarrassing photos circulating around the internet. One such photo was taken when he went to support his then-girlfriend, Lindsey Vonn, at the women’s World Cup Super G championship. It appeared Woods was missing a front tooth in the photo.
His reps claimed the tooth had been knocked out by a cameraman who had had his camera mounted on his shoulder when Woods was close to the finish line. While the scenario has been debated, Woods and Vonn were all smiles as Vonn emerged victorious in the tournament. Woods also keeps up appearances and was in the 2022 PGA Tour.

Emma Stone

Ethereal beauty Emma Stone is widely known for her stunning looks and jaw-dropping performances. She walks every red carpet with grace, even when the wind threatens to expose her undergarments. During the 2015 Cannes Festival for the promotion of the movie “Irrational Man,” Stone almost had a wardrobe malfunction.

She had to hold down the skirt of her outfit while her hair went up in the wind. It was either that or a much more embarrassing photo. Regardless of the gust of wind, she still had a beaming smile throughout the event. Her role in the 2022 movie “Poor Things” made us forget all about that moment.

Amanda Seyfried

At the 2014 premiere of the movie “While We’re Young,” we got a glimpse of Amanda Seyfried’s weird acting and goofy face. The actress looked to be expressing varying emotions in the photos while watching the performance. Celebs are known to cringe when watching themselves, and Seyfried wasn’t looking too pleased here.

The Avant premiere took place at the Paris Theater in New York. She’s long since recovered from that moment and has been on other projects, such as the 2022 movie “The Dropout.” We wonder what she thinks and the even funnier faces she makes when these hilarious pictures surface every now and then.

Katherine Heigl

Not everyone met with a wardrobe malfunction would have handled it as well as Katherine Heigl did. The Hollywood star’s strap came off while she delivered a speech at the 2016 ShoWest Female Star of the Year Award. Luckily, she handled the situation like a pro.

Heigl was swift to hold it in place while laughing it off to the amusement of the audience. Sweeping it under the carpet was no hassle for the star as the event went on smoothly afterward. Heigl is well known for her big-screen performances. She buzzed the internet with her performance in the series “Firefly Lane,” in which she starred between 2021 and 2022.

Katie Holmes

After her appearance in the movie “Dawson Creek,” Katie Holmes’ career has experienced immersive growth. This has earned her a spot in the films, “Batman Begins,” “Jack and Jill,” and several others. She also starred in and directed the Airbnb-centered romance drama, “Alone Together,” which aired in 2022.

Holmes is multi-talented, but if there was one other thing she was good at, it would be wearing her natural look proudly. Just like in this photo, there are numerous occasions where Holmes has been caught in her natural look. While it might not be her best shot, it shows she is comfortable in her skin.

Katy Perry

Over the years, American heartthrob Katy Perry has built her reputation through style, good music, and charming performances. She has kept fans looking forward to new albums now and again. But before her fame and glamorous outfits, Perry was just an innocent young woman striving for her spot in showbiz. It was during this period that this photo was taken. 

She has since made quite an impact on contemporary music with her albums, “Teenage Dream” and “Prism.” She also became the first artist to reach a billion views on Vevo. She hosted her first concert residency, “Play,” in Las Vegas between December 29, 2021, and January 15, 2022.

Stefanie Scott

While many thought that things almost went out of hand while Stefanie Scott was at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards, she had the situation under control. This picture was taken at the 2013 event held in Los Angeles.  In the image, she accidentally replicated the “Seven Year Itch” cover image done by Munroe. Although hers was caused by a gust of wind rather than the air vent Munroe used.

Scott is a renowned actress and singer whose acting debut was in the comedy film, “Beethoven’s Big Break.” She also starred in the American horror series, “Girl In The Woods,” which she has starred in since 2021.

Lark Voorhies

Lark Voorhies is a multifaceted celebrity who has achieved fame, both as a singer and an actress. Her popularity happened after her appearance on the NBC sitcom, “Saved By The Bell”—in which she starred between 1989 and 1993. She also appeared in its sequel, which aired between 2020 and 2021.

Voorhies is also a renowned spokesperson known for her charisma and charming smile. So you would be forgiven if you didn’t recognize her from the photo. The photo was taken during the premiere of Christopher Hansen’s “Where We Started,” held in Los Angeles. Admittedly, it wasn’t her best picture.

Keanu Reeves

Keanu Reeves is one of the few Hollywood icons whose acting has held the interest of fans for years. His flawless physique and role as Neo in “The Matrix” created quite a buzz among his fans. So he almost couldn’t go unnoticed when he showed up for the 2013 Cannes Festival with a few extra pounds.

Reeves’s career picked up after he starred in the 1991 independent drama, “My Own Private Idaho.” His career peaked with his appearance in the original science/fiction film “The Matrix.” He has also appeared in its several sequels, including the 2021 release, “The Matrix Resurrection.”

Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian is one of the most famous socialites America has. Kardashian’s fame grew with her appearance on the reality show “Keeping Up With The Kardashians.” The series ran from 2007 until its 20th season. The final episode was released in late June 2021.

As a celebrity who is almost always in the spotlight, it is almost inevitable that one experiences paparazzi moments that are not so great. For Kardashian, hers happened in 2007 during William Rast’s Spring street fashion show. Maybe it was the tan or the pose, but fans didn’t adore the picture.  Kardashian being Kardashian, there are rare photos of her like this on the internet.

Beyoncé

Beyoncé is unarguably one of the greatest musicians of all time. A singer and actress, she has been singing since she was a child and even performed in many competitions then. She gained fame after being the lead singer in the 1990s group “Destiny’s Child.”

However, this photo, taken during her 2013 Super Bowl halftime performance, is proof that even legends don’t look beautiful all the time. Although her public relations team tried to get the pictures off everyone’s minds and even asked BuzzFeed to take them off their article, they still remain on the internet forever. In 2022, she released her seventh studio album, “Renaissance.”

Mel Gibson

Mel Gibson is, without doubt, an integral part of Hollywood, which is evident in his astounding work as an actor, director, and producer. His role in the 1979 post-apocalyptic film “Mad Max” gave him global fame. He also appeared in all of the movie’s three sequels, which were released in 1981, 1985, and 2015.

While his career has soared with projects like “Father Stu,” which was released in 2022, the picture on the right wasn’t his greatest moment. It represents a time in the mid and late 2000s when Gibson’s career went haywire. Luckily, he bounced back with his role in the 2010 released film, “Edge of Darkness.”

Cara Delevingne

Aside from having a glamorous career on the runway, Cara Delvingne is also an actress and singer. After she signed with Storm Management, she won the Model of the Year award twice in 2012 and again in 2014. Her acting has also been robust, with her appearances in several films. One of those is the horror series, “Only Murders In The Building,” which she has starred in since 2021.

While Delevingne is known for her professionalism on set, she also knows how to have fun too. She sometimes does this by making funny faces here and there. It was on one of those occasions that this photo was taken.

Kelly Osbourne

The picture shows Kelly Osbourne in the early 2010s before settling for the purple hairdo she is now known for. With a deep shade to her eyelids, a tanned face, and a fringe cut – you would almost not recognize her.

Osbourne has since made significant changes to her looks and persona. Not only did she move on from her family’s show, “The Osbournes,” she co-hosted hers. She’s been spearheading the “Jack and Kelly Osbourne: Night of Terror” show since 2021.  She also owns a clothing line called “Stories…By Kelly Osbourne,” which she launched in 2014. It has turned out to be quite successful.

Kanye West

Kanye West has been making music both as a producer and an artist since the early 2000s. Following the founding of his record label, “Good Music,” West pioneered several albums. One of which was “Donda,” which he released in 2021, and a sequel that followed a year after.

Alongside reaching 160 million record sales in his career, West is also an accomplished entrepreneur. But like many celebrities, he’s also had moments that were not his proudest. The picture was taken in 2013 when West walked head-on into a pole due to being distracted by a paparazzi. He was quite livid and had to address it at a performance that week.

 Olivia Munn

Actress Olivia Munn expressed how she felt the need to defend her rescue pup, Chance. Apparently, it’s not what we all thought on first viewing the photo. While on her way for the Thanksgiving holidays in 2017, Munn stopped to speak with a greeter. Poor Chance picked the wrong moment to ask for a leg scratch.

According to Munn, Chance lifts his leg when he wants it scratched, which unfortunately looks like he’s relieving himself on the person. After the photo was published on TMZ, she had to defend her pet. Munn speaks against animal cruelty and appeared in the 2021 short film “Save Ralph” for the cause.

Taylor Swift

It must have been one heck of a day for mega pop star Taylor Swift to be seen out in public like this. According to reports, the singer was leaving the gym sometime in 2016. It’s great to see celebrities carefree and not too bothered about how they look. Hopefully, the rollers didn’t get in the way of a great session.

While she likes to run to keep her great body in shape, Swift also loves to spend time in the studio—a fact her songwriting skills can attest to. One of her well-written songs is “All Too Well,” which was re-recorded in 2021 and had serious international success.

Jessica Simpson

Jessica Simpson, singer and fashion mogul, has had her fair share of embarrassing moments. After what she thought was a great night out with friends to celebrate her husband’s 38th birthday in 2017, she almost tripped after exiting the restaurant. The friends were at Craig’s restaurant, a popular hotspot for celebrities.

Thankfully, Eric Johnson, Simpson’s husband, was there to catch her just before it could get any worse. They made it to their car in one piece, where she then proceeded to stick her tongue out to the photographers. Unfortunately, they still got some snaps of her embarrassing moment. Simpson showcased some of her humor in the 2022 series “Duncanville.”

Mischa Barton

Most people might remember Mischa Barton from the drama show “The O.C.,” where she played a wealthy and stylish teen. Close pals have attributed the start of the actress’s problems to her young acting career. The wide-eyed, disheveled picture of the actress raised concerns, but sources claimed she had her wisdom teeth removed that day.

Reports claimed that Barton was under the influence, and in 2009 had involuntary medical attention for about two weeks, shortly after the puffy faced photo was taken. A decade later, her life seemed to be back on track, and she starred in the 2021 film “Invitation To A Murder.”

Fergie

Who would have thought tripping and almost landing on one’s face could be the source of musical inspiration? Well, this was the case for songstress Fergie. After a good night out with Sean Patterson, they were seen leaving the Waverly Inn in New York when she tripped.

Thankfully, Patterson was there to catch her and help her up. Fergie didn’t let it bother her too much and even gave a smile to the swarm of photographers that captured the entire ordeal. Her song “Clumsy” attests to her being uncoordinated sometimes. Aside from trending for tripping, she was in the news after opening the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards.
