Erin Doherty suffered a wardrobe blunder at the Independent Spirit Awards on Sunday night, as she lost her high heels as she made her way to the stage to accept the gong for Best Supporting Performance in a New Scripted Series.
The actress, 33, was honoured for her role as child psychologist Briony in the acclaimed Netflix show Adolescence during the ceremony at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles.
But as she headed up to be presented the trophy by Keke Palmer, both of Erin’s towering stilettos slipped off her feet en route.
However, despite the unexpected Cinderella moment, she styled out the mishap with grace and a smile, scooping up her shoes and walking onstage barefoot.
The Crown star poked fun at her misfortune afterwards, as she posed proudly with her award held aloft in one hand and her heels in the other.
And it didn’t appear to have put a dampener on her her evening, with the British star looking on cloud nine to have received the honour.
