Forget the red carpet dresses, emotional acceptance speeches and insider gossip from the award show after parties for a moment.

One of our favourite pastimes here at ELLE is to see celebrities act like us mere mortals when they experience their very own 'fangirl' moments on meeting their famous contemporaries.

From that time Chance The Rapper almost fell over when Beyoncé hugged him from behind, to actress Gina Rodriguez's SAG Awards red carpet breakdown at the sight of Meryl Streep, we've rounded up our favorite celebrity fangirl moments over the years:
