“Liam and Jennifer were sitting on a sofa in the VIP section of the party when all of a sudden, an 8-foot column with a platter of candles on top fell on top of them.” a spywitness tells JustJared.com. “They both jumped up when it happened and thankfully no one was hurt. Liam and Jennifer both seemed pretty calm about it and laughed it off. They almost caught fire – literally.”

Earlier in the day, Jennifer, Liam, and Sam were all dressed up while attending the premiere of Jimmy P. at the festival.

FYI: Jennifer is wearing a Dior dress, Manolo Blahnik shoes, and Chopard jewelry. Liam is wearing an Ermenegildo Zegna suit.
