In fact, one awards ceremony was a curveball: Emma Stone, winner of the Best Actress Oscar for her performance in “Poor Things,” had to deal with a wardrobe malfunction moments before going on stage to accept her trophy.
“My dress is torn,” Stone seemed to say as she headed to receive his Academy Award. Once on stage, she opened her acceptance speech by acknowledging the wardrobe malfunction, which appeared to be a broken zipper or seam in the back of her Louis Vuitton dress.
“I think it happened during ‘I’m Just Ken,'” she explained, referencing Ryan Gosling’s performance of her song from the movie “Barbie” and, presumably, some dance moves she had performed (because who right? dance with Gosling if the opportunity presents itself?).

“Don’t look at the back of my dress,” Stone said in closing her acceptance speech—a noble plea, but one that probably would have drawn more attention to the incongruous issue at hand.
Speaking to reporters backstage, Stone said he had been “going for it” during Gosling’s performance, adding: “I was so surprised by Ryan and what he was doing, and that number just blew me away.”
“They sewed me back up, which was wonderful,” he also revealed.
Stone, now a two-time Oscar winner, had previously wowed the red folder outside the Dolby Theater in Hollywood in her custom strapless Vuitton look, which featured a flared peplum waist and shell-shaped details. The actor was dressed by celebrity and fashion stylist Petra Flannery.
Stone won her first Oscar in 2017 for her role in “La La Land,” a film co-starring Gosling, and the pair actually shared the microphone for a few lines during Gosling’s performance of “I’m Just Ken” tonight. . .
In this year’s Best Actress category, she competed against Lily Gladstone of “Killers of the Flower Moon,” Annette Bening of “Nyad,” Carey Mulligan of “Maestro” and Sandra Hüller of “Anatomy of a Fall.”
Stone is also in illustrious company when it comes to Oscar fashion mishaps: in a 2022 interview with harper’s bazaar, Charlize Theron said the gathered back seams of the Vera Wang dress she wore to the 2000 Oscars tore when she took her seat. “When I stood up for the first ovation, I felt a kind of cool breeze coming up my butt,” she said. “And I realized my whole butt was hanging out.”
In an interview with Jimmy Kimmel, actress Jenny Slate talked about a similar moment when she joined her “Everything Everywhere All at Once” castmates on stage at last year’s Oscars, saying she “wiggled” on stage to avoid anyone noticing a torn seam on his Thom Browne. dress. And perhaps most infamously, Jennifer Lawrence, who was on stage with Stone tonight (as one of the former Best Actress winners introducing this year’s nominees), fell while accepting her Best Actress Oscar in 2013 due to its waterfall hem.

Lawrence, along with the other former winners, helped carry Stone off the stage.
