Once the moment was shared online, many people reacted to the starlet’s stumble via Twitter. “Played it off brilliantly @ElizabethBanks is awesomeness,” one admirer wrote, while another added, “Such natural comedic talents :).” In a separate comment, one fan couldn’t help but be relived [sic] that Elizabeth did not fall on her face. “good recovery tho, if she had face planted that would had [sic] supplanted the slap as THE Oscar moment,” they joked. The fan seemingly referenced the 2022 Oscars moment when Will Smith slapped Chris Rock for a joke he made about Jada Pinkett Smith.
Prior to gracing the stage to present the prestigious award, Elizabeth took to the Oscars red carpet in a stunning black-and-white Vivienne Westwood gown. The ensemble featured a puffed-up back design with a sleek shoulder-bearing upper portion. For the bottom half of the gown, the designer opted for a white skirt that trailed behind Elizabeth as she walked. The 49-year-old styled her blonde tresses in an elegant up-do and completed her look with a diamond necklace, mini hoop earrings, and black high heel pumps.
