Slippery steps! Jessica Chastain gets compared to Jennifer Lawrence after taking a nasty tumble on the stairs as she wins SAG Award for George & Tammy

Jessica Chastain is getting compared to Jennifer Lawrence, after briefly tripping over her dress on her way to accept the SAG Award for Best Female Actor in a TV Movie or Miniseries.

Following her nasty tumble up the steps, the 45-year-old actress received some much-needed assistance from Irish actor Paul Mescal and a man in the front row, who also rushed to her aid.

Almost immediately, Twitter users were quick to comment about the similarity between her fall and Lawrence's infamous nosedive at the Academy Awards back in 2013.

Once she was back on her feet, the Oscar winner made a speedy recovery and went on to deliver an inspirational speech, honoring the late Philip Seymour Hoffman.

During her speech, the mother-of-two, who scooped up the same award at last year's ceremony, was honored for her role as Tammy Wynette in George and Tammy.

As she accepted the trophy, the performer offered a motivational message to aspiring and struggling actors as she said: 'I'm doing a show right now in New York, I'm doing A Doll's House and every day after the show I get to meet people at the stage door and I meet a lot of actors, who tell me their stories and it reminds me of when I was in college.'

'I'm telling this story right now because it reminds me of how powerful our mind is and what our thoughts can do, so I want to tell everyone who might be struggling at home, to all the actors I get to meet, 'Keep going, you're one job away. I look forward to working with you, I'll see you on set and I love you,' Chastain told viewers.

was a dream collaboration from day one and I wouldn't have got to day two without his support,' she concluded.

She didn't seem too fazed by her fall as she explained that she was momentarily 'trapped' in her gown before some 'very nice men' helped her up.

'I am the one who never expects this is going to happen,' she told ET after accepting the win. 'Yeah, I fell on the stairs, that's good because some people didn't know that I did.'

Chastain wore a voluminous fuchsia gown, adorned with vertical ruffles down the front, to the star-studded ceremony.

For the occasion, she accessorized her floor-length dress from Zuhair Murad, which features a plunging neckline, a hot pink lipstick and colorful statement earrings.

Her nearly waist-length red tresses cascaded down her back in pin-straight strands.

Jessica's makeup artist Kristofer Buckle used products from Charlotte Tilbury to achieve the actress's look for the evening - which was 'inspired by a punk princess', he revealed.
