‘My dress is broken’: Emma Stone deals with wardrobe malfunction while accepting her Best Actress Oscar

The now two-time Oscar winner said she suffered a sartorial snafu after “going for it” during Ryan Gosling’s performance of “I’m Just Ken.”

An awards ceremony curveball indeed: Emma Stone, winner of the Oscar for Best Actress for her performance in “Poor Things,” dealt with a sartorial snafu just moments before she took the stage to accept her trophy. “My dress is broken,” Stone appeared to mouth while en route to receive her Academy Award. Once on stage, she opened her acceptance speech with an acknowledgment of the wardrobe malfunction, which appeared to be a broken zipper or seam on the back of her Louis Vuitton gown. “I think it happened during ‘I’m Just Ken,’” she explained, referencing Ryan Gosling’s performance of his song from the “Barbie” movie — and, presumably, some dance moves she’d indulged in (because who wouldn’t boogie down with Gosling should the opportunity present itself?). Speaking to reporters backstage, Stone said she had been “going for it” during Gosling’s performance, adding: “I was so amazed by Ryan and what he was doing, and that number just blew my mind.” “They sewed me back in, which was wonderful,” she also revealed. Stone, now a two-time Oscar winner, had earlier wowed the red carpet outside the Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre in her custom strapless Vuitton look, which featured a flared peplum waist and shell-like detailing. The actor was dressed by top fashion and celebrity stylist Petra Flannery.
