Just as she was walking the carpet and posing for photographs at the premiere of Beasts of No Nation, Banks, 41, who is a member of the festival's jury, almost toppled over.

Luckily for the Hunger Games actress, she didn’t end up face-down on the floor. Banks even managed to gracefully remove the fabric of her stunning floral Elie Saab gown (with a matching cape and gold tube clutch by Giuseppe Zanotti) from her black Christian Louboutin sandals, laugh at herself with the crowd, and generally recover like a pro.

Making people laugh—even at her—is Banks' forte. "I prefer doing comedy over drama," Banks told Allure in their June issue. "Making people laugh is a very addictive thing… I find making people laugh to be a really special ability. It’s like having a superpower."
