Emma Stone made a bad moment on stage just before her historic Best Actress victory. Her role as Bella Baxter in Poor Things earned her a prize.
With her portrayal in Poor Things, Emma Stone received the Best Actress Oscar at the 96th Academy Awards. During accepting the prize, the actor’s strapless Louis Vuitton gown broke open in the back, a wardrobe malfunction.
Emma wins Best Actress
Emma was surprised when Michelle Yeoh announced her as the winner of Best Actress. She hugged director Yorgos Lanthimos and actor Mark Ruffalo, repeatedly touching the back of her garment. As she ascended the steps to receive the award, she also seemed to mention something about her dress breaking. Emma was saved momentarily by Jessica Lange and Charlize Theron as well, as Emma came forward to deliver her speech, visibly emotional.
Here is the official video from the Oscars.
