As Emma got up to reach the stage, an unexpected twist occurred—her elegant white gown had ripped. Emma was spotted pointing to the back of her dress and even asking presenter Jessica Lange for help but then proceeded to make her speech without getting it fixed.

Emma also made a lighthearted plea to the audience: «My dress is broken, I think it happened during I’m Just Ken.» Despite the wardrobe malfunction, Emma’s spirit remained unshaken. Overcome with emotion, she expressed her gratitude, her voice quivering with the weight of the moment. «I don’t know what I’m saying,» she confessed, tears streaming down her face. In a heartfelt acknowledgment, she shared her appreciation for the collective effort that brought the film to life.
