Jessica Simpson was left red-faced when she got into the wrong car outside her New York City hotel last night.

The star was posing for photographers, before she climbed into a black Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV). Simpson’s hairdresser Ken Paves realised the 26-year-old’s mistake, and quickly ushered her into the limousine parked in front of the SUV so she could be taken to the nearby Costume Institute Gala, reports website TMZ.com.

An embarrassed Simpson said, “Of course, that happened to me.”
