 "Oscars 2024: Emma Stone suffers wardrobe malfunction, blames it on 'Barbie' star Ryan Gosling")
Emma Stone, winner of the Oscar for Best Actress for her incredible performance in Poor Things, dealt with a wardrobe malfunction as she walked on the stage to accept her trophy. The sartorial snafu took place just moments before she was announced the winner for the particular category. The actress, for the prestigious ceremony, was dressed in a gown with a long train. While en route to receive the award on stage, she said, “My dress is broken.”
Emma , who was unsure about when it happened, started her speech with an acknowledgement of her broken dress. It appeared to have a broken zip on the back of her Louis Vuitton gown. The La La Land actress, at the beginning of her speech, jokingly said that her dress broke probably at the time when she was jamming with Ryan Gosling during the performance of I’m Just Ken. Then, she went on to deliver an emotional speech.
Emma, addressed her fellow nominees in the category, saying, “Sandra [Hüller], Annette [Bening], Carey [Mulligan], Lily [Gladstone], I share this with you. I am in awe of you, and it has been such an honour to do all of this together.”
She said, “Oh my God, I’m totally—OK, the other night I was panicking as you can kind of see—it happens a lot—that maybe something like this could happen. And Yorgos [Lanthimos, Poor Things’ director] said to me, “Please take yourself out of it,” and he was right because it’s not about me. It’s about a team that came together to make something greater than the sum of its parts.”
Emma went to share the award with every cast member, crew member, and everyone who poured their love, care, and brilliance into the making of the film. As the actress continued, she also thanked the director of Poor Things and said, “Yorgos, thank you for the gift of a lifetime in Bella Baxter. I am forever thankful for you,” adding that “I really just want to thank my family, my mom, my brother, Spencer, my dad, my husband, Dave [McCary]. I love you so much.”
Emma also revealed that her daughter would be turning three soon and sent her love from the stage.
