If you were concerned for Emma Stone and her broken dress following her appearance onstage at tonight’s Oscars to accept the prize for Best Actress, fear not. “They sewed me back in,” shared the star of Poor Things, Searchlight’s adaptation of the novel by Alasdair Gray. “Right when I came back[stage], they sewed me back in, which was wonderful.” Stone highlighted the issue with her dress while on stage, sharing that she believed she’d broken it while singing and dancing along to the performance of Barbie tune “I’m Just Ken” by her Oscar-nominated La La Land co-star, Ryan Gosling.

Backstage, she affirmed this belief was genuine, adding, “I was so amazed by Ryan and what he was doing, and that number just blew my mind.

I was right there, and I just was going for it, and things happen.” Additionally, Stone spoke to the meaning her Poor Things character, Bella Baxter, has for her, compared to all those she’s played before. “I think the chance to play a person starting from scratch, but in a total metaphorical, can’t-really-happen-in-real-life way, who’s gaining language and skills at a rapid pace every day and getting to chart that course and realize that she was just full of joy and curiosity and true love of not just the good but the challenging in life, and was fascinated by all of it, that was an amazing lesson to take with me and to try to get to live in the shoes of every day,” the actress said. “So I really miss playing her ever since we wrapped filming, which was a long time ago, like two and a half years ago.

I miss Bella, and I’m really grateful that we got to celebrate the film tonight, and over these past few months.” Reuniting Stone with Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos and screenwriter Tony McNamara
