Emma Stoneisn’t done talking about her 2024 Oscarswardrobe malfunction.

ThePoor Thingsstar, 35, won her secondAcademy Awardon March 10, and when she accepted her statuette for Best Actress onstage, she told the audience that the back zipper of her custom mint Louis Vuitton peplum gown had broken (she was“sewed back”into the dress after).

“I think ithappened during ‘I’m Just Ken.’I’m pretty sure,” Stone jokingly blamed friendRyan Gosling, who sang theBarbiehit earlier in the night.

A couple of weeks have passed, but Stone still thinks Gosling’s performance would’ve done a number on her and her dress, no matter what.

“I made a big deal about busting the zipper, but it really was my fault,” Stone admitted toThe Hollywood Reporterin its 2024Power Stylists issue. “I would have busted the most industrial zipper on the planet during ‘I’m Just Ken.’ ”

Stone’s longtime stylistPetra Flanneryalso chimed in on the “now-famous” incident in the joint interview, saying that Stone handled the malfunction with “grace and elegance.”

For the bespoke pastel gown, and many of Stone’s award show looks, the duo, who’ve been working together for 17 years, drew inspiration from Stone’sPoor Thingsrole.

“I loved Petra’s idea with Louis Vuitton to create a bunch of pins for Bella Baxter,” Stone toldThe Hollywood Reporter,“which I wore on a lot of the looks, as did [Poor Thingsdirector] Yorgos [Lanthimos] on his suits.”
