About
Chrissy Teigen's Cringe Face is a reaction image made by model and television personality Chrissy Teigen that is used to express embarrassment.
Origin
At the 2018 Emmy Awards, following a joke by host Michael Che, the show's producers cut to a shot of recording artist John Legend and Chrissy Teigen. Upon realizing that she was on camera, Teigen frowned and attempted to exit the frame (shown below).[1]
