While on the pink carpet at the Teen Choice Awards on Sunday, New Girl star Zooey Deschanel woreâand lookedâa little blue. Her usually bright smile was barely on display, and photos of her and co-presenter Selena Gomez led some to notice more than a few weird changes in the starletâs face and demeanor. Perhaps she was simply bummed about not winning any awards that night?
Back in February, the former South African Olympic swimmer attended the Oscars with husband, Prince Albert. On the red carpet, Princess Charlene made it obvious that she was feeling desolate as she shed tears in front of the cameras. As she made a point of reminding us, it was the 30th anniversary of the death of the woman who would be her mother-in-law, Princess Grace, a.k.a. Grace Kelly.
Not even a bright-red gown could liven up Twilight star and perpetual frowner Kristen Stewart. The actress arrived at the Cannes Film Festival in May and proudly showed off her trusty desolation/disinterest facial concoction for the cameras.
Triple-threat actor, director and producer Robert De Niro seemed as if he were about to become a physical threat to photographers at the Ghetto Film School Annual Benefit Gala, where he threw scowls at the crowdâeven while holding hands with his wife, Grace Hightower.
Though she isnât exactly known for her sunny smiles, fashion icon Victoria Beckham gave cameras a particularly bored face at the Vanity Fair Oscar party in February. In a conversation with Interview magazine, the mother of four admitted, âIâm not miserable. I just choose not to smileâ but made sure to add, â'Yes, I created this persona and I'm very different from that.â
Decked out in sequins and surrounded by feathered, satin, and brightly-colored gowns at this yearâs Met Gala, Shame star Carey Mulligan, you would think, would have had enough to smile about. Instead, she pursed her lips and looked somewhat annoyed.
Sporting a pin-straight hairdo, Mary-Kate Olsen looked ready for a funeral at this yearâs CFDA Fashion Awards.
Super stylist to the stars Rachel Zoe also dampened the atmosphere at the CFDA awards this year, with a no-skin-showing black gown and no-smiles-allowed expression.
There apparently wasnât a joyful soul around at the Los Angeles premiere of Dark Shadows. The filmâs stars, Johnny Depp and Michelle Pfeiffer, as well as director Tim Burton and producer Graham King, gave off dark vibes themselves.
Eminem, a.k.a. Slim Shady, looked straight-up sad at the Los Angeles premiere of 8 Mile in 2002. Though we canât imagine whyâthe rapper took home an Oscar for Best Original Song for the single, Lose Yourself, from the movieâs soundtrack.
Who could forget the 3-year-old blonde âfrowning flower girlâ? While the whole world cheered as Prince William and Catherine Duchess of Cambridge shared a kiss on their wedding day, this little miss, also Prince Williamâs goddaughter, covered her ears and let the world see just how annoyed she was at all the fuss.
