Oscar Win Soured By Wardrobe Malfunction For Emma Stone
One of the highlights of the 2022 Academy Awards ceremony was Emma Stone winning her second Best Actress Oscar for her role in ‘Poor Things’. However, her big moment was overshadowed by an unfortunate wardrobe mishap.
Stone’s Louis Vuitton gown developed a tear at the back as she walked up on stage to accept her award. Embarrassed, the actress acknowledged the malfunction in her acceptance speech, stating, “My dress is broken. I think it happened as I tripped to the stage.” She urged people not to look at the back of her dress.
The incident caused considerable buzz online. When Louis Vuitton posted pictures of Stone in the gown on Instagram, the comments section was filled with criticism about the dress tearing. Many users slammed the noted fashion house for not ensuring better tailoring that could have prevented such an awkward situation for Stone on her big night.
“The craftsmanship left much to be desired if it ripped as she walked. She deserved to celebrate without worrying about a wardrobe malfunction,” remarked one Instagramer. Others defended Stone, saying she must have felt humiliated navigating the rest of her appearance with an outfit mishap. Some even demanded an apology from Louis Vuitton for ruining what should have been a perfect moment through subpar design.
The fashion giant sees it as an oversight to have a high-profile gown tear during one of the entertainment industry’s biggest awards shows. The incident underscored the need for rigorous quality checks on ceremonial clothing to avoid embarrassing instances overshadowing celebrities’ big victories.
