Heidi Klum left viewers baffled as she tugged on Benson Boone's trousers while at the American Music Awards in Las Vegas on Monday.
The supermodel, 51, and the singer, 22, bumped into each other on the red carpet and Heidi then playfully pulled at Benson's trousers as he laughed.
Heidi then suffered her own wardrobe mishap as she tripped over the train of her dress while turning away from Benson.
The star, who attended the event with her son Henry Samuel, 19, hopped over her train as a man on the red carpet helped move the train from her.
Some viewers were left confused as to why Heidi tried to pull Benson's trousers.

They wrote: 'Heidi Klum tripping over her own dress while running away from Benson Boone, this is pop culture.'
'But why did she try to pull off his pants?'
Heidi's playful jibe at Benson is likely a reference to his performance at this year's Grammy Awards.
Benson began his performance in a black suit but, while walking through the audience, Heidi and comedian Nikki Glaser joined in by ripping off his suit to reveal a light blue jumpsuit.
This year's AMAs were branded a 'hot mess' and the 'worst show ever' after most major stars snubbed this year's ceremony.
Disappointed fans took to social media to complain about the lack of big names at the annual show, which was held at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas on Monday.
Nominees including Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Billie Eilish and Sabrina Carpenter were all absent from the event, and the guest list instead featured a slew of social media influencers.
The event was hosted by Jennifer Lopez, 55, who did her best to single-handedly bring the star power by performing a six-minute medley of 23 hits by the evening's nominees.
But the 55-year-old instead sparked criticism over a cringe-worthy make-out session with male and female dancers, with viewers calling the display 'desperate.'
Meanwhile singer Kehlani, 30, made waves with controversial remarks on the Israel-Palestine conflict, stating 'free Palestine' during a red carpet interview.
And Swift, 35, in particular also caused a melt down among her fans when she snubbed the show, despite being nominated in six categories.
After the AMA's concluded, furious fans took online to blast the show as a 'flop.'
Many also complained that not all categories were shown during the broadcast.
'AMAs were a FLOP. No a-list celebs, no tay wins, and it felt soooooo conservative and weird this year..... never watching that s*** again lol.'
'I'm sorry what??? That was a hot mess.'
'What in the world did I just watch? They didn't even announce some of the biggest awards! Hot mess.'
'American music awards but like…. Where were the musicians? All I saw were influencers and twitch streamers?' one fan wrote.
'American Music Awards? More like FLOP.'
'That was the worst absolute worst,' someone else chimed in.
'So yall decided not to announce on live tv the category that most than likely received the most votes of the entire night and the category that gave yall the most ratings?? See this is why I don't watch award shows anymore!'
'WHERE IS THE REST OF THE CATEGORIES???'
'you didn't give out awards to 95% of the nominated categories.'
'guys that sucked why so many performances and no awards??'
'Ummmmm so do you know you're an awards show and meant to give out awards? We are confused.'
Janet Jackson received the Icon Award during the festivities, while Rod Stewart was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award.
A number of stars presented the big wins, including comedians Nikki Glaser and Tiffany Haddish, actor Wayne Brady, model Cara Delevingne, pop star Ciara, streamer Kai Cenat, and singers Megan Moroney and Shaboozey.
This year marks the first time the awards show was shown on CBS, after being aired on ABC since 1974.
