Kim Kardashian proved that even the most glamorous nights can come with a few unexpected stumbles.
Before stepping out for the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty on Sunday, March 15, the reality star and entrepreneur had a brief—but dramatic—mishap that was caught on video and later shared on TikTok.
The behind-the-scenes clip shows Kardashian preparing for the night in a striking gold ensemble when things took an unexpected turn.
She was dressed in a curve-hugging Gucci turtleneck gown and towering eight-inch heels.
But just moments before heading out, she appeared to question her footwear, asking, “I wonder if this shoe should be tighter.”
Seconds later, she found out the hard way.
The video shows Kardashian buckling in her sky-high heels and partially falling into a nearby bush.
The moment could have easily turned into a full fall, but quick reactions from those around her—including close friend Stephanie Shepard—helped steady her.
“My ankle,” Kardashian can be heard saying in the clip, clearly shaken but still composed.
She also expressed concern for someone she grabbed during the stumble, adding, “That poor lady I grabbed her.”
Despite the shaky start, Kardashian didn’t let the moment derail her night.
Kardashian Stuns at the Vanity Fair Party
Earlier in the video, she admitted to feeling “nervous” about the red carpet, but those nerves didn’t show once she arrived.
The SKIMS founder confidently posed in her eye-catching look, which she paired with icy blue contact lenses and intentionally tousled hair.
The fashion risk paid off, with fans and fellow celebrities taking notice.
Kardashian’s Rumored New Boyfriend Reacts
Among those reacting was Lewis Hamilton, who has recently been linked to Kardashian.
After she posted photos from the night on Instagram, Hamilton chimed in with a flirty heart-eyes emoji, fueling ongoing speculation about their relationship.
Most recently, the pair were reportedly seen vacationing together in Arizona, adding fuel to speculation that their connection may be more than just friendly.
The desert getaway comes shortly after they were photographed arriving at a hotel in Paris, where they exited the same SUV—an appearance that quickly caught fans’ attention.
The two may have even traveled together from the United Kingdom via private jet, with a source describing the meetup as “romantic.”
Prior to that, Kardashian and Hamilton were also rumored to have spent time at Estelle Manor, an exclusive countryside retreat known for its privacy.
The two also attended the 2026 Super Bowl together.
