Emma Stone suffered a major wardrobe malfunction at the 96th Academy Awards on Sunday in her custom Louis Vuitton dress — and now things are quickly turning upside down for the high-end fashion house after she proudly bragged on Instagram about the fact that the actress wore his dress even after revealing it was torn.
After LV shared a black and white photo of the Poor Things star and congratulated her on winning Actress in a Leading Role, commenters had a blast with the fashion mistake.
Emma, 35, wore a custom mint strapless dress with peplum and train, designed by Nicolas Ghesquière, with white gold, diamond and sapphire jewelry from LV.
Unfortunately, the zipper ripped along the back, leading commentators to compare the dress to a Zara piece and a doorless Boeing plane.

Some fashion fans questioned the quality of Louis Vuitton’s designs and others were shocked that the design house ‘had the audacity to still post it’
Some fashion fans questioned the quality of Louis Vuitton’s designs.
“Can a brand that makes a dress for an Oscar actress that lasts less than two hours without breaking be considered haute couture?” someone asked.
“One prayer for the LV employee who sewed that zipper. His/her head is on the heel,” another asked.
‘It was a huge shame for high couture at one of the most prestigious glamor events of the season, and in the Best Actress category to boot!’ read one comment.
“Very telling quality (or lack thereof) and ‘craftsmanship’ over the past decade,” said one fashion fan.
After fashion-focused Instagram account Diet Prada shared some highlights, a few people jumped to Louis Vuitton’s defense
Fashion Instagram account Diet Prada shared some highlights and captioned a photo of the torn dress “The shaaaade over in LV’s comments.”
However, many fashion lovers were happy to jump to Louis Vuitton’s defense.
“This is so fucked up: clothes are made by people. If it is too tight and bulky, there is a risk of it breaking. Since when did Americans become defenders of perfectionism,” one person wrote.
‘I’m not making excuses for LV, but as a stylist invisible zippers have been the bane of my styling career, they get stuck when you try to zip them up and are prone to coming undone in the middle. a customer was zipping into her Emmy dress, luckily I was able to sew her up and yes, embarrassing and awkward, a dress of this construction has an inner corset and a waistband to keep the corset and dress in place,” one shared other person.
One commenter clarified: ‘The zipper broke. The seam has not come loose. There is a difference.’
