Amanda Seyfried suffered a tumble as she took to the red carpet for the Venice Film Festival.
The 39-year-old Mamma Mia star was among the celebrities in attendance for the premiere of her new film, The Testament of Ann Lee.
Amanda oozed glamour as she stepped onto the carpet in a strapless satin navy and red gown.
Her extravagant button-up gown featured a surprise red lining underneath which was exposed as she climbed stairs, as well as a red bow on the bodice.
But the actress was left red-faced as she almost fell backwards while posing for snaps with the cast, grabbing onto her co-star for support – before laughing at her stumble with Viola Prettejohn.
Elsewhere Amanda put on animated display as she had fun with photographers during the premiere.

Earlier this year, Amanda revealed there was a role she wanted so badly she auditioned for it a whopping six times.
On Backstage’s In the Envelope podcast, she revealed she tried out for the part of Elphaba in Wicked on multiple occasions.
‘I’m in that privileged spot where I just don’t have to [audition],’ she said, ‘But I like, of course, I talked about this a lot. I auditioned like six times for Wicked.’
‘Because that had to be really just right,’ the Mean Girls star said. ‘And I like, I loved it.’
Amanda also talked about her Wicked audition in March during an episode of the Happy Sad Confused podcast.
‘I was able to really prepare, and I’m telling you, I’ve never felt that solid in my voice than I did at the auditions,’ she said.
‘And that’s kind of what I got out of it,’ Amanda told host Josh Horowitz.
‘I do, again, think everything happens for a reason,’ she continued, adding, ‘I also got to sing with Cynthia, and that was a moment in itself.’

In November, Cynthia Erivo did a joint interview with The New York Times, where she said it was ‘no surprise whatsoever’ to her when she learned Ariana Grande, 31, had gotten the role of Glinda.
‘I said [at the time], “Thank God,”‘ Ariana recalled, with Cynthia adding: ‘Thank goodness, because it was not the two ladies that I was auditioning with.’
While Cynthia did not name who else she’d auditioned with, Amanda did reveal in 2022 that she had tried out for the part of Glinda, but didn’t specify if she auditioned alongside Cynthia.
She auditioned at the same time she was filming The Dropout, in which she played disgraced scientist Elizabeth Holmes and won and Emmy for her role.
Amanda has made peace with the fact that she wasn’t cast as Glinda. She even lavished praise on Ariana for her performance.
‘I do, again, think everything happens for a reason,’ she said.
