Emma Stone Ripped Her Dress Right Before Her Best Actress Speech at the 2024 Oscars

Emma Stone had a bit of a wardrobe malfunction during the 2024 Oscars—and she blames Ryan Gosling.

There was an obvious opening in the back of her custom Louis Vuitton peplum gown, but the two-time Academy Award-winner took the snafu in stride. In fact, the first words out of Stone’s mouth when she took the Dolby Theatre stage to accept the award for best actress were: “My dress is broken and I think it happened during ‘I’m Just Ken.’”

This is the second time Stone has won this particular award at the Oscars. Her first win was in 2017 for La La Land, which also happened to star Gosling. This time Stone took home the award for her performance as Bella Baxter in Poor Things.

“I was panicking, as you can kind of see happens a lot, that maybe something like this could happen, and then [director Yorgos Lanthimos] said to me, ‘Please take yourself out of it.’ 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,” Stone said in her speech. “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, with every crew member, with every single person who poured their love and their care and their brilliance into the making of this film. And Yorgos, thank you for the gift of a lifetime, and Bella Baxter. I’m forever thankful for you. Thank you for inviting all of us to be members of this team.”

Emma Stone also took a moment to sneak a Taylor Swift reference into her speech while talking about her three-year-old daughter, whom she shares with husband Dave McCary. “I really just want to thank my family, my mom, my brother Spencer, my dad, my husband Dave, I love you so much,” she said. “And most importantly, my daughter, who’s going to be three in three days and has turned our lives Technicolor. I love you bigger than the whole sky, my girl.”

And with one last line she reminded the audience, “Don’t look at the back of my dress.”
