She was invited to the premiere of the new film at the Cannes Film Festival, Anatomy of a Fall.
And Jennifer Lawrence clearly worked out how to avoid one: trading heels for a pair of flip flops.
The actress, who stumbled on her way to collect her Oscar in 2013, was led down the steps of the Palais des Festivals in a pair of black sandals on Sunday.
The comfortable footwear was hidden under her red dress with an A-line skirt and a long train.
Jennifer, 32, was left with her head in her hands after she tripped up the stairs winning Best Actress at the 2013 Academy Awards.
The following year, she succumbed and fell to the floor while walking the red carpet.

Don’t mind me: the comfortable footwear was hidden under her red dress with an A-line skirt and a long train
Two years later, she tripped and lost a shoe as she left a diner celebrating her film, Silver Linings Playbook, in London.
Her red dress and slippers marked her second look of the day, after attending a photocall for her new documentary, Bread and Roses.
Jennifer, wearing a knitted cream-colored dress, produced the film that explores the daily lives of three women in Afghanistan living under Taliban rule.
“There’s no end to this story and you feel pretty much helpless thinking about how to do something about it,” she said. “It’s difficult to market.”
The arrival of the militant political movement in Kabul in 2021 had a disastrous effect on women’s rights in the country.
They were immediately stripped of any right to education, as well as restrictions on employment and their access to public spaces.

The story of resilience has been described as a “raw, bleak portrayal of the plight of women in Afghanistan.”
In particular, it focuses on three women, who try to reclaim their identity and autonomy as viewers see the experience through their eyes.
Director Sahra Mani fled Afghanistan when the Taliban came to power in the summer of 2021 and now lives in Europe.
Elsewhere at the festival, Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese were poised for a victory lap following their critically acclaimed crime epic ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ as the festival prepared to bow to Jude Law as King Henry VIII.
Scorsese’s latest opus, about a spate of murders among oil-rich Osage Indians in the 1920s, was showered with words like “scorching,” “triumph,” and “masterpiece” by critics who scored Saturday night’s hottest ticket at the Cannes Film Festival.

Based on a non-fiction bestseller, the film sees DiCaprio as a strong-willed man who marries a wealthy Osage woman and becomes involved in the deadly schemes of his leading uncle, played by Scorsese’s other old muse, Robert De Niro.
IndieWire said DiCaprio gives “his best performance ever,” while The Guardian awarded five stars for a “remarkable epic about America’s bloody birth.”
But the festival was already set for another glitzy premiere later in the day, with ‘Firebrand’ starring Jude Law as 16th-century English King Henry VIII alongside Alicia Vikander as his sixth and final wife, Catherine Parr.
Alicia, 34, wore a peach dress embellished with silver hearts, while Jude, 50, completed his look with a bushy moustache.
The film focuses on Parr’s story and how she navigated life at Henry’s court.
Wearing a full suit, Jude had his cheeks plumped to transform into the morbidly obese monarch, while make-up artists mimic the venous leg ulcers he suffered from.
Gigi Hadid and Carla Bruni were also in attendance, as well as Irina Shayk showing off her torso in a plunging skirt.
