17 Pap Shots Of Celebs Gasing Up
Many celebrities have assistants or help of some kind to take care of a lot of things that normal people have to incorporate into their days - stuff like cooking, grocery shopping, picking up dry cleaning, etc. Those kind of services can be extremely valuable when a celebrity is working on a project and has really long days with not much time to handle errands. However, celebrities do still do a ton of their own errands - the paparazzi are always snapping shots of them leaving the grocery store or grabbing a coffee, etc.
And there's one errand that celebrities are captured doing more often than you might assume - gassing up their cars. That's because Los Angeles and the surrounding areas require a lot of driving, and most celebrities aren't diva-ish enough to request that their car be filled before they leave for whatever they have in their schedule that day. They just grab some gas en route - and the paparazzi must know that, because they manage to capture the celebs at the gas station time and time again.
Celebrities - they're just like us! Here are 17 paparazzi shots of steamy celebrities caught filling up their luxe cars with gas (we're betting they're going with premium - why not, if you can afford it?)
17 Kylie Jenner, proving that it's totally okay to wear a two-piece short suit and strappy sandals while getting gas
Kylie Jenner is definitely not afraid to show off her curves, and while she used to often dress casually and just be captured in sweatpants and a baggy hoodie, those days are kind of gone. Nowadays, she's rarely captured looking anything less than perfect - including when she's filling up her tank. She's captured in some kind of a two-piece short pant suit and strappy heels which seem a little more evening than daytime. Perhaps she's en route to some kind of an event? Perhaps she just wanted to wear those shoes? Who knows. She's gingerly holding the gas pump like she's not quite sure how to use it, and to be fair, she probably doesn't gas up her own car as much as other celebs - after all, the entire family has staff, surely someone can do it for her!
16 Channing Tatum, who makes a simple chore look really, really good
One of the best things about paparazzi shots at gas stations is how diverse the celebrities are. Some are en route to an event or meeting and look totally glam, while others are obviously just running their errands and having a casual day off. Channing Tatum definitely falls into the latter camp here. He's rocking what appears to be black athletic pants and a black tee (perhaps on the way home from the gym?), and headphones, and has obviously just noticed the paparazzi when he whipped out his wallet to pre-pay for his gas. On the one hand, we imagine it must be annoying to have a paparazzo pop up when you're least expecting it, but on the other hand, that annoyance transformed on camera into a brooding look that totally works for him.
15 Shay Mitchell, who looks like she's in a photoshoot and not just running errands
Shay Mitchell, who rose to fame thanks to her role on the teen hit Pretty Little Liars, is so beautiful it's almost not fair. While she looks absolutely amazing all dolled up on the red carpet, she also always look stunning when she's just captured by the paparazzi around town in a casual outfit and minimal make-up. This shot proves that. She's rocking a basic white sweater with some slim black pants and knee high boots, majorly sultry bedhead, and what looks like a fairly neutral make-up look. And she looks insanely gorgeous. Seriously - add a bit of text to it and you could probably use this paparazzi shot for an advertisement or something (although, we're pretty sure gas stations don't need to advertise themselves in Los Angeles - everyone needs to fuel their cars!)
14 Liam Hemsworth, who should really not be near something combustible when he's looking that hot
One of the things we love most about Liam Hemsworth is the way he cleans up so well on the red carpet in a suit or tux, but manages to capture his Aussie essence in his casual wear so well. Just take a look at this outfit - we could totally picture him rocking that paisley button down on a beach in Australia, with the baseball cap a necessary addition to keep the sun out of his eyes. It also just goes to prove how celebrities really are just regular people. If you didn't know who Liam Hemsworth was, and you were anywhere other than Hollywood, you'd probably just assume he was a regular (albeit really hot) guy filling up his car. Plus, it's a hybrid, which means he cares about the environment - so cute.
13 Kaia Gerber, who obviously inherited some phenomenal genes from her mom Cindy Crawford
I mean, when your mom is arguably one of the biggest supermodels of all time, you obviously inherit some fantastic genes, but we have a feeling you also inherit some insider knowledge when it comes to posing and being aware of your angles for the camera. In these shots taken by the paparazzi, Gerber doesn't seem to be aware that there's a camera around, but somehow she manages to look utterly gorgeous nonetheless - no weird poses, no strange faces, just model-esque glamour through and through. We know she's obviously just running some errands here, but to be honest, she could easily be in some kind of a photoshoot or commercial - she looks absolutely stunning, and like the epitome of California chic in her jean shorts and barely there crop top.
12 Chris Pratt doing the casual lean against the car move, because why not? He's Chris Pratt
Okay, we know, we know - many people have a complicated relationship with Chris Pratt at the moment, because he and Anna Faris used to be everyone's favourite couple, and he was formerly the definition of #husbandgoals. However, let's focus on the thing that made everyone fall in love with him in the first place - he just seems like such an average, humble guy. Even though he's transformed into a superstar thanks to his involvement in box office smash hits, he still just seems like a boy from Washington who can't quite believe his luck. In this particular paparazzi shot, we're not quite sure if he's spotted the cameras and is hamming it up, or if this is genuinely just how he stands when he pumps gas. Hey, sometimes you get tired and just need to lean against your truck for support.
11 Kaley Cuoco, proving that even gorgeous blonde starlets aren't always all done up
There's no denying that Kaley Cuoco is absolutely gorgeous. In fact, over her years on the hit sitcom The Big Bang Theory, she's transformed and become even more of a blonde bombshell than when she first started. However, one thing we love about her is that she's not afraid to head out looking less than glam. Whether she's spotted leaving the gym or getting gas for her car, she doesn't mind if the paparazzi capture her without a stitch of make-up on, or in less than flattering clothes. Just take this shot for example - she's rocking a baggy long-sleeve tee, sweatpants, athletic sandals, virtually no make-up, tousled hair, and a pair of glasses. And you know what? She still looks pretty darn gorgeous. Sure, it may not be as glam as her red carpet looks, but sometimes you just need a casual day - we totally get it.
10 Ryan Gosling, who manages to look amazing in even just a t-shirt and baseball cap
For some reason, despite how famous he is, Ryan Gosling isn't really captured by the paparazzi quite as much as many of the other celebrities. We're not quite sure how the Canadian cutie manages to evade them, but it just means that fans are even more excited when they grab a shot of him out running errands. In this particular shot, he's rocking some casual black pants, a black tee, and a baseball cap - and looking like your average hot guy about town. It just goes to prove that even celebrities aren't dressed up all the time, looking like they've just left a photo shoot. Sometimes they just pull on regular clothes and go about their day, and that's okay - they're just regular people, at the end of the day, and no one wants to run errands in an outfit you're worried about damaging.
9 Emma Roberts, who is channeling some major French chic vibes
Emma Roberts has casual chic down to a science in this paparazzi shot captured when she's filling up her tank. From the simple black pants to the neutral boots to the striped tee artfully tucked, she's channeling some major French chic vibes, and we love it. The sunglasses are super Hollywood starlet, and her whole look is just working. However, we do have to wonder why celebrities always seem to choose between sports cars or larger than life SUVs. I mean, Roberts is a very petite woman - that's a whole lot of car to deal with! Perhaps they have better safety and security features for if they ever get followed by the paparazzi or overeager fans or something like that? Regardless, she looks totally fabulous here as she gasses up he car.
8 Patrick Dempsey, who looks like Derek Shepherd came to life at a gas station
Most people who are Patrick Dempsey fans know that the former Grey's Anatomy superstar is also a huge, huge car guy. When he's not filming on set or doing promotion for one of his projects, you'll often find him zipping around a race track trying to beat his speed records. He just loves cars - so it makes sense that the paparazzi would eventually snap a shot of him at the gas station. And we have to say, his off duty outfit looks like something that Derek Shepherd would wear - a crisp button down, blazer, some jeans and a classic boot? Love the professional vibe. To be honest, it would be a little bit unsettling to see Dempsey in sweatpants and a muscle shirt - he just doesn't seem like the type.
7 Ali Larter, showing off her legs in an LBD and doing some stretches while she waits
Ali Larter is a totally gorgeous celebrity who doesn't really get the same attention as some of her fellow actresses - but we're living for this outfit. She's rocking some leopard print flats and a chic LBD, paired with casual hair and minimal make-up. She's channeling some major French chic vibes and we love it. And, while her gas pumps, she's taking the time to do a few stretches. This outfit is ambiguous enough that she could be coming from just about anywhere, or going just about anywhere. Perhaps she's on her way to an event? Perhaps she's just wrapped up a yoga class and is stretching out some of those sore muscles? Perhaps she's about to hit the farmers' market in style? Who knows - the point is, she looks absolutely gorgeous.
6 Josh Duhamel, who looks like a totally different, edgier guy with a mohawk
Normally, Josh Duhamel is basically the dictionary definition of a clean-cut Hollywood starlet. From his coiffed brown hair to his golden skin to his mega-watt smile, he just looks like a Hollywood star. However, in this paparazzi shot, they've captured him rocking a bit of an edgier look - and to be honest, we're totally on board. We kind of dig the messy mohawk. Although, it would probably look better if he was rocking some worn denim and a form-fitting tee, rather than voluminous black sweatpants and a white t-shirt that looks like it came out of a 4-pack. Come on, Duhamel - you're better than this outfit! We hope he just tossed this on to run a few errands, because this is not a good everyday look, even on a casual day.
5 Katharine McPhee, who looks absolutely stunning in this paparazzi shot
We have to hand it to Katharine McPhee - she managed to turn a gig on a reality television show into a successful career in Hollywood, which isn't an easy thing to do. She's better known for her acting than her voice nowadays, but the fact that she's a double threat probably totally works in her favour when she's in auditions. The paparazzi have captured her here in a fairly casual outfit - jeans and a white tank, with slightly tousled hair - but she looks totally gorgeous. In earlier paparazzi shots, she was often a bit more styled and groomed, but lately she's been totally embracing the more casual California vibe and it definitely works for her. We're not sure where she's en route to here, or if she just stopped by for gas on an errand day, but she looks fabulous.
4 Jason Statham, who isn't about to move his car around when he can just make it work
Listen, we've all been there - you're not really paying attention, you pull up to a gas station pump, and you suddenly realize that you're facing the wrong direction and your gas tank is actually on the opposite side. It happens. Most people simply hop back in their car and straighten out so they're in the right spot, but not Jason Statham. He's too busy for that. He's determined to make it work, and apparently he has - he's just pulled the pump over the top of his car and reached around to fill up the tank. It's just unfortunate that the paparazzi managed to catch this little slip up. Who knows - perhaps he's driving a new car, or someone else's car, or maybe he's just wrapping up a long day of shooting and has a bunch on his mind.
3 Kim Kardashian, who isn't about to let her stilettos prevent her from pumping her own gas
We're not sure why, but seeing a Kardashian at the gas station just seems strange. I mean, yes, they need to fill up their cars just like regular people - but it just seems like they'd have someone on staff do it for them. After all, how are you supposed to turn a trip to the gas station into a storyline for their reality show? Nonetheless, Kim is captured here filling her sports car with gas, and the one question we have is how on earth is she driving in those sky high stilettos? That just seems dangerous. The rest of the outfit is fairly casual, at least by her standards - some skinny black pants and a cute mint green blazer - but those stilettos? I mean, she's known for rocking fantastic footwear, but that just seems like an accident waiting to happen.
2 Nicole Scherzinger, who literally looks like she's in a music video
We're not sure what exactly it is about this outfit, but we're getting major '00s music video vibes. Perhaps it's the totally straight, glossy hair, perhaps it's the flirty dress, perhaps it's' the slouchy knee-high boots, but whatever it is, Nicole Scherzinger looks like she stepped straight off the set of a Pussycat Dolls video, and we kind of dig it. This outfit is fun, flirty, and totally works for Scherzinger. She doesn't seem to know that the paparazzi is lurking nearby to take her photo, but perhaps she just never slouches and always poses as if there's a possibility of a paparazzo somewhere nearby, because she looks totally stunning. I mean, who looks like that when they're just pumping their gas for real, and not for some kind of a photoshoot?
1 Hayden Christensen, who looks like every other hot Los Angeles guy in his shorts and tee
We're not sure what it is about male celebrities and their off-duty outfits, but they're just so… regular guy. We can understand when they're rocking a fitted tee and some great jeans - that's a casual outfit worthy of a celebrity. But we don't totally get the baggy tee, athletic pants, baseball cap situation that so many of the male celebrities seem to be wearing when they're out running errands. Perhaps it's so that they just blend into the rest of the California crowd? Unless you were a major fan, or a paparazzo whose job it is to know every celebrity's face, we have a feeling you would have no clue this guy was a movie star - you'd just assume he's some regular guy working behind the scenes in the entertainment industry. I mean, he doesn't look like an actor - he looks like a crew member.
