Anyone who's applied their own fake tan knows there's always that spot in the middle of your back you just can't reach.
Actress Keira Knightley knows this too, suffering a fake tan fail while wearing a backless dress to the premiere of
A Dangerous Method in London.
As Keira twirled on the red carpet, she revealed the tell-tale sign of a self-applied tan: dodgy patches of golden colour smeared haphazardly in the middle of her back.
It's surprising that Knightly, an actress earning millions of dollars a year, would opt to do her own tan for the event and not fork out for a professional spray. Baffling, actually. And in a backless dress, too. Quelle horreur!
We're surprised by Keira's apparent laziness when it comes to grooming, but it is comforting to know even celebs have beauty disasters.
It's the second time this week a celebrity has sported a dodgy fake tan: Christina Aguilera suffered a serious case of the streaks when she began to sweat under the hot lights as she sang at the funeral of legendary songstress Etta James.
Aguilera was forced to reach down and wipe away the brown streaks that ran down her legs as she took the microphone to perform (watch the video below).
That's why you get a spray the day
before an event, X-Tina. Do we have to teach you celebrities
everything?
