"It almost defies belief, but yes, Jennifer Lawrence fell over on a red carpet yet again at the X-Men: Days of Future Past premiere in New York over the weekend. After seeing these pictures of the Hunger Games actress keeling over on some stairs, and getting painful flashbacks to her double Oscar tumbles, we just had to ask the question, &amp;#039;Why does Jennifer Lawrence keep tripping over?&amp;#039; Here are 9 theories...   1. Because overly elaborate dresses and waxed stairs are the enemy... Jennifer&amp;#039;s first and most soul-crushing trip happened as she went to collect her Best Actress Oscar for Silver Linings Playbook at the 2013 Academy Awards. When baffled reporters in the press room asked her what went wrong, Jennifer immediately fingered the culprit. &amp;quot;Look at my dress! I tried to walk up stairs in this dress - that&amp;#039;s what happened,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;I think I just stepped on the fabric, and they wax the stairs.&amp;quot; Later, Jennifer revealed that others had warned how the dress could turn on her: &amp;quot;I started to walk up the stairs and the fabric from my dress tucked under my feet, I realised my stylist had told me, &amp;#039;Kick, walk, kick, walk&amp;#039;.&amp;quot; You know, for an Oscar-winning actress, she kinda sucks at taking direction. 2. Because she gets distracted by food... Jennifer Lawrence is a girl who loves to eat. She is the type of actress who sends her bodyguards to get burgers, as she&amp;#039;d rather risk getting shanked by a crazed fan than go hungry. But her big appetite was to be her undoing at the Oscars. &amp;quot;I was waiting to hear\u00E2\u20AC\u00A8 if my name was called, and I kept thinking, cakewalk, cakewalk, cakewalk,&amp;quot; she remembered. &amp;quot;I thought, &amp;#039;Why is &amp;#039;cakewalk&amp;#039; stuck in my head? I totally forgot [how to walk] because I was thinking about cake! And that&amp;#039;s why I fell.&amp;quot;  3. Because she wants to be rescued by Hollywood hunks... When Jen took a tumble on her way up to the Oscars stage, Hugh Jackman and her Silver Linings Playbook co-star Bradley Cooper immediately rushed over to help her, like knights in shining tuxedos.  Jennifer claimed not to be aware that two sex symbols had come to her aid (&amp;quot;I was in my cloud of, &amp;#039;I want to die&amp;#039;&amp;quot;), but said that it &amp;quot;actually fixes the whole moment&amp;quot;. Let&amp;#039;s face it, we&amp;#039;ve all done crazier things to get the attention of a hottie. 4. Because she fails to identify potential threats... After the Oscars fiasco, Jennifer said that she learnt &amp;quot;not to let the dress gather in the front when you walk up the stairs&amp;quot;. Yet, disaster struck again at this year&amp;#039;s Academy Awards when she was blindsided by... an inanimate object. &amp;quot;I did a stair test this year,&amp;quot; she insisted to reporters on the red carpet. &amp;quot;[But] I did trip over a cone. I&amp;#039;m not safe.&amp;quot; 5. Because she wants to make her fans feel loved... Aside from the cone, Jennifer had somebody else to blame for her second Oscar tumble - you. Yes, you, the fans. If you weren&amp;#039;t waving like loons and desperately calling out her name, like the vultures you are, maybe J-Law wouldn&amp;#039;t have got distracted. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m trying to do the right thing, waving to fans, trying to be nice, and there&amp;#039;s a traffic cone,&amp;quot; she explained in a recent mag interview. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m a lot more closed off and frankly probably rude. I used to be very personable and make eye contact and smile at people, and now all I do is look down.&amp;quot;  6. Simply because there&amp;#039;s just something inherently wrong with her... Jennifer claimed that falling down every time she&amp;#039;s forced to walk up a slight incline is not a new trend - she&amp;#039;s never really been that steady on her feet. &amp;quot;I suck at... walking up stairs quickly,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;I always fall every time I walk up stairs - as you&amp;#039;ve seen!&amp;quot; Jen, have you never thought to ask a doctor why this is? Maybe you pushed a penny too far up your nose as a kid or something? 7. And she&amp;#039;s not good at the whole celebrity thing... She may have the acting talent, but Jennifer just can&amp;#039;t quite get the hang of this &amp;#039;being an elegant celebrity&amp;#039; thing. Case in point, her tendency on red carpets to shun the traditional &amp;#039;over the shoulder look&amp;#039; and just pull ridiculous faces. On her Oscars fall, Jen said: &amp;quot;That was actually a moment when I really wanted it to be special. That was not the time I wanted to be the Down-home Girl. I wanted to be graceful.&amp;quot; 8. According to Joan Rivers, it&amp;#039;s because she&amp;#039;s arrogant... Last year, Jennifer got into a bit of a spat with Joan Rivers after accusing her Fashion Police show of promoting &amp;quot;all the wrong values&amp;quot; by offering an &amp;quot;unrealistic&amp;quot; view of female body image. In a typically catty response, Rivers tweeted: &amp;quot;WAIT! It just dawned on me why Jennifer Lawrence fell on her way up to the stage to get her Oscar. She tripped over her own arrogance.&amp;quot; We&amp;#039;re not sure that&amp;#039;s even possible, Joan, but thanks for contributing to the discussion...  9. Whatever the reason, it&amp;#039;s definitely not being done on purpose... Jennifer Lawrence is so bloody adorable that a few critics have started to openly wonder whether she might be Katniss-ing us in real life by creating a nicey nicey public persona.  On the conspiracy theories thrown up by her multiple goofs, J-Law said: &amp;quot;The second I hit [the cone], I was laughing, but on the inside I was like, &amp;#039;You&amp;#039;re f**ked. They&amp;#039;re totally going to think this is an act...&amp;#039; &amp;quot;But trust me if I was going to plan it, I would have done it at the Golden Globes or the SAGs. I would have never done it at two Oscars in a row. I watch Homeland - I&amp;#039;m craftier than that!&amp;quot; Whatever the reason for Jennifer&amp;#039;s multiple wipeouts, we might have to insist that she attends her next red carpet in a crash helmet and knee pads!
