The Emma Stone Oscar Incident Leaves Audience Breathless: Nearly Slips Dress While Accepting Prestigious Award

Emma Stone showed off her wardrobe malfunction on stage while accepting the Oscar for best actress for Poor Things at the 96th Academy Awards in Los Angeles.

As she prepared to accept the trophy, the 35-year-old Cruella star could be seen holding the back of her Louis Vuitton peplum dress, after her zipper busted down her back.

‘My dress is broken,’ she began while fighting through tears. ‘I think it happened during I’m Just Ken.’

Once she gained her composure, the performer made a rare remark about her family as she thanked her parents and brother, her husband and daughter.

While speaking directly about her little girl, Louise Jean McCary, the proud mother-of-one gushed she was going to ‘be three in three days’ and turned her ‘world technicolour.’

‘I love you bigger than the whole sky,’ she concluded.

As she exited the stage, the two-time Golden Globe winner, who sported a 30-carat yellow diamond choker, held the closure on the back and requested the audience to refrain from looking ‘at the back’ of her gown.

Stone welcomed her first child with McCary in March 2021, a year after they tied the knot in 2020.

Emma first met husband Dave, a comedian, writer and segment director for Saturday Night Live, on the sketch comedy series in 2017.

Elsewhere in her speech, she recalled ‘panicking’ the other night while thinking about receiving this honor.

‘Yorgos [Lanthimos] said to me, please take yourself out of it,’ Stone told viewers. ‘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.’

She also thanked Lanthimos for giving her ‘the gift of a lifetime’ in portraying ‘in Bella Baxter.’

This marks her second Oscar win, seven years after taking home the prize for lead actress Oscar for La La Land.

She’s also previously been nominated in the supporting actress category for Birdman (2014) and The Favourite (2018).

Prior to her relationship with McCary, Emma famously dated British actor Andrew Garfield for four years.

The former couple began dating in 2010 after meeting on the set of The Amazing Spider-Man, although they never spoke about their relationship publicly.

The A-list actors were reported to have parted ways in 2015.

In November 2018, while dating McCary, Stone revealed her desire to have children evolved with age.

‘My perspective about kids has changed as I’ve gotten older,” she said at the time. “I never babysat or anything. As a teenager, I was like, ‘I’m never getting married, I’m never having kids.’ And then I got older and I was like, ‘I really want to get married, I really want to have kids,’ she told Elle.

Stone continued: ‘My twenties were a really interesting time, and there’s been a lot that has happened in these past 10 years, both positive and not as positive.’

‘It’s weird how much turning 30 crystallizes your life. Instead of just living the dreams that I had in my youth and getting to do the job that I love to do and making friends and going through all of that, it’s like, now what do I actively want as an adult?’ she added.
