Talk about star power.

Fans standing in front of a barricade on the SAG Awards red carpet were so excited to see Julia Roberts arrive to the awards show Saturday that they toppled the whole thing over as she approached them to say hello.

Yikes!

The barricade (and a few fans) fell to the ground as the August: Osage County star walked over to the group, which was so startling that it made the veteran actress jump back—a good call, considering that it could have landed on her feet. 

"They're OK, I checked everyone, gave a little bit of CPR, everybody's good," Roberts told E! News' Giuliana Rancic following the crazy incident.

Although Roberts is no stranger to fanfare, she said this is the first time that anything like that has ever happened to her.

Speaking of first times, this wasn't the first time Roberts wore a jumpsuit on the red carpet, but it was one of the first times anyone noticed.

The 46-year-old star, who wore a Valentino jumpsuit to the event, told us most people just assumes she's wearing a dress when she sports them on the carpet.

Roberts also got comfy at the Golden Globe Awards in her outfit last Sunday, slipping off her heels and walking barefoot as she left an after party that night.
