Chris Christie on the beach

The best time to catch some rays? When you’re the governor, and you’ve closed an entire public beach to everybody but you and your family. That’s what the New Jersey pol did in July on the Jersey Shore, when Island Beach State Park was closed due to a budget battle in Trenton. Now’s the time to relive Beachgate!

Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway

The legendary stars of “Bonnie and Clyde” started their year off bad — really bad. While announcing the winner of the Best Picture Academy Award in February, Dunaway incorrectl­y said, “La La Land.” Whoops! The victor was actually “Moonlight.” Who’s to blame? The Oscars’ accountant­s are said to have handed the duo the wrong envelope. Even so, Dunaway still read it. You, too, can be these Best Supporting Screw-ups!

On Beatty: Blazer, similar styles for $70, and pants, similar styles for $35, both at HM.com; “I’m With Stupid” T-shirt, $20 at Amazon.com. On Dunaway: Dress, $84 at Lulus.com; “Blonde Superstar” wig, $15 at Yandy.com; Oscar statue, $16 at Moishe’s Gifts, 170 W. 48th St.

Starbucks Unicorn Frap

Don this get-up and your whole party can taste the rainbow! In April, the coffee giant unveiled a limited-edition, multicolor­ed concoction for just five days called the Unicorn Frappuccin­o. The drink changed color, contained absolutely no coffee and boasted 76 grams of sugar for a venti. Lines for this mutant beverage snaked out the door.

Unicorn horn, similar styles for $3 at Target .com; Hula hoop, $2, and green pool float, $2, both at 5th Ave. Dollar & Discount, 2 W. 46th St.; Rainbow sequin fabric, 2 yards for $20 at Fabric House, 257 W. 39th St.; Ribbons, 2 yards for $2 at B&Q Trimmings, 102 W. 38th St.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry

Great Britain’s next princess could be an American. “Suits” star Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been getting super-serious, with British papers saying the gorgeous star has even met the queen. But being on the arm of a prince isn’t always easy. At Toronto’s Invictus Games in September, Markle was criticized for wearing ripped jeans. Show those Brits who’s boss by rocking some tattered denim of your own.

On Meghan: Shirt, $25 at OldNavy.com; Jeans, $52 at Lulus.com; Tiara, $13 at Ricky’s NYC, see RickysNYC.com for store locations. On Harry: Polo, $20 at OldNavy.com

Sleepy Mayor Bill de Blasio

City Hall is a bigboy job. And growing kids need their naps — otherwise they might get cranky. In August, The Post discovered that Hizzoner likes to enjoy some shuteye on his comfy office couch every day, following his afternoon workout. New Yorkers are sure to have sweet dreams — or nightmares about this.

Beyoncé and the twins

Bey can stop the world with an Instagram post. Her February pregnancy announceme­nt became the most popular post on the social media platform ever, with more than 11 million likes — and even graced the front page of The Post. When twins Rumi and Sir were a month old, Mama Fierce followed up with a jaw-dropping baby picture. Go on and slay like Bey.

Hurricane Melania

The first lady donned stilettos for a visit to Texas after Hurricane Harvey. Luckily, she seemed to have stored a pair of sneakers onboard Air Force One and changed into the more practical kicks before touching down.
