Any woman who is fashion-conscious and resides in a cold region understands that snow and stiletto heels are incompatible.
The lesson was learned the hard way yesterday by California resident Demi Moore, who slipped on ice while attending the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.
With assistance from a few minders, the actress wobbled into a portrait session at the festival, where she is simultaneously promoting two new films.
Donning lace-up heeled boots and a shearling jacket, Demi was fortunately saved by her quick-thinking entourage, avoiding a face-plant into the snow.
Before attending a screening of her Wall Street thriller Margin Call, the 48-year-old posed for her Sundance portrait.
The film takes place over a 24-hour period at an investment bank at the onset of the financial crisis and has already garnered the Creative Coalition’s 2011 Spotlight Initiative Award at the festival.
Co-stars Kevin Spacey, Paul Bettany, Simon Baker, and Zachary Quinto joined Demi for the screening.
Her husband Ashton Kutcher, 32, made his way inside the screening after spending the day snowboarding on nearby slopes.
For the premiere, her second of the festival, she changed into a stylish charcoal dress with a zip front and paired it with black ankle boots.
Earlier this week, Demi was also present at a screening for Another Happy Day alongside co-stars Ellen Barkin and Kate Bosworth.
Barkin, who co-produced the film, mentioned that Demi possesses significant thigh strength.
While filming a fight scene, Demi’s co-star Thomas Hayden Church, who plays her estranged husband, was injured by her unexpected power.
“Demi wrapped her legs around him, and he claimed that her legs crushed his ribs,” said Barkin, who herself experiences a choke from the actress in the same scene.
“It’s always the guy, the big, macho, muscular guy. Here’s little Demi and me, and he gets hurt? I’m like, ‘I got choked and I’m fine.'”
Demi expressed her enjoyment in getting physical, stating, “We had so much fun,” during the premiere, adding, “We were laughing.”
Barkin remarked, “I knew I could trust Demi to choke me in a very lovely, delicate manner.”
While Demi is busy promoting her films, Ashton is relishing the success of his comedy No Strings Attached, which is currently leading the U.S. box office.
The actor arrived at Sundance a day early to surprise his wife at her initial premiere of the week on Sunday.
While Demi attends press conferences and photo calls, he has been hitting the slopes, but the couple managed to carve out some time for a quiet lunch together this week.
The busy couple took a moment from the festival to enjoy a meal at a local restaurant.
Bundled up to brave the chilly weather in Utah, Demi wore a fur-trimmed parka jacket and boots, complemented by jeans and a woolly scarf.
Ashton’s casual attire away from the red carpet featured thick gloves and a 
sports jacket.
Demi, 48, is also set to appear in the upcoming film LOL, which stars Miley Cyrus.
She shared with E! Online that while filming, she and Miley formed a close friendship.
“She’s adorable,” she expressed. “I love her. We text regularly still… She’s a great girl with a great heart.”
