‘Poor Things’ star Emma Stone shared that she ‘busted’ her Oscars dress while busting a move to Ryan Gosling’s ‘I’m Just Ken’ during the 2024 Academy Awards.
Emma Stone had a major loose end to tie up backstage Sunday after winning her second Academy Award.
Stone, who won the lead actress Oscar for her role as the puckish Bella Baxter in “Poor Things,” elaborated on the wardrobe malfunction that nearly eclipsed her acceptance speech during the telecast.
“My dress is broken,” she mouthed with trepidation before taking the stage at the Dolby Theatre. Stone attempted to shield the back seam of her custom Louis Vuitton gown as she ascended the stairs, and presenter Jessica Lange also tried to help. Upon receiving the trophy from Michelle Yeoh and hugging pal Jennifer Lawrence, the overwhelmed Stone opened her speech by acknowledging the dress disaster.
“My dress is broken — I think it happened during ‘I’m Just Ken,’” she said, eyeing her “La La Land” co-star Ryan Gosling in the audience. “Barbie’s” Ken performed the Oscar-nominated song during the ceremony, and Stone was among those singing along with Gosling’s high-Kenergy performance.
In the press room, Stone doubled down as media sought a welfare check on her peplum-waisted column gown.
