Emma Stone reveals how she ripped her dress before walking on stage at Oscars
Emma Stone has opened up about how her dress ended up ripped before she went on stage at the 2024 Oscars.
Would it really be an Oscars event if there wasn't some sort of malfunction - take Jennifer Lawrence's trip up the stairs in 2013 - and the 96th Annual Awards ceremony last night (March 10) was certainly no different.
Stone was nominated for Best Actress for her role in Poor Things.

The movie saw the actor receive a standing ovation at Venice Film Festival where it first premiered, people in awe of her portrayal of Frankenstein-esque character Bella Baxter, a young woman who passes away only to be revived by surgeon Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe) who replaces her brain with that of a baby's.
And the 35-year-old actor ended up winning the award and taking to the stage to give her acceptance speech.
However, while making her way onto the stage, Stone could be seen mouthing her dress was 'broken' - something she also noted before beginning her acceptance speech - and she's since revealed the moment she believes the seam on her Louis Vuitton dress gave way.
In a backstage interview with Good Morning America, Stone explained she thinks the dress gave way when she was 'part[ying] hard' to Ryan Gosling's performance of 'I'm Just Ken'.
"I'm so excited for Ryan and he just absolutely crushed it," she said. "So it was a blast, so it was worth the dress rip, you know?"
Stone joked she just got up on stage and didn't know if she was 'naked' but 'hope[d] not' and carried on with the show.
Indeed, the actor went on with her speech to say: "Oh boy, this is really overwhelming. Sorry. OK, my voice is also a little gone, whatever. The women on the stage you are all incredible and the women in this category. Sandra, Annette, Carey, Lily, I share this with you, I'm in awe of you and it has been such an honor to do all this together, I hope we get to keep doing more together."
The actor recalled something Poor Things director Yorgos Lanthimos told her about taking herself 'out of it' to stop 'panicking'.
"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 and that is the best part about making movies, is all of us together and I am so deeply honored to share this with every cast member, every crew member, with every crew member, with every single person who poured their love and their care and their brilliance into the making of this film," she continued.
Stone then addressed Lanthimos again, thanking him for the 'gift of a lifetime in Bella Baxter' as well as her family and husband and 'most importantly' her daughter too.
The actor added in her interview with Good Morning America after the ceremony that she'd since been sewed 'back in' to the dress.
