The stunning gown also had delicate white lace detailing throughout. But as she collected her second-ever Oscar and made her acceptance speech at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Emma told the star-studded crowd not to look at the back of her gown.
"My dress is broken, I think it happened during I'm Just Ken," she jokingly started her speech, referring to Barbie actor's Ryan's earlier performance on stage ahead of Emma's big win."I don't know what I'm saying," Emma admitted, before telling her peers: "The other night 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. And that is the best part about making movies is all of us together. And I am so deeply honoured 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."
She thanked her family and gave a special shout-out to "my daughter, who is going to be three in three days and who turned our whole lives technicolour." The two-time Oscar winner sweetly told her daughter: "I love you bigger than the whole sky, my girl." And before leaving the stage, Emma joked: "Don't look at the back of my dress."

Emily Blunt's dress also created some discussion online, with many fans confused at the floating straps on her shoulder. As the nominees for Best Supporting Actress were being read out, John Krasinski squeezed Emily's hand. She was nominated for her role in Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer. It was Emily's first-ever nomination at the Academy Awards, but she did not secure the Oscar. Instead, Danielle Brooks won for her role in The Color Purple.
As John was trying to support her, fans were more focused on her dress. When she sat down in her chair at Dolby Theatre, fans commented the straps on her dress looked a bit odd. One said: "I can't unsee the straps of Emily Blunt's dress."

It's a celebrity's worst nightmare when attending an awards ceremony, but Liza Koshy coolly brushed off an awkward moment. As the Transformers: Rise of the Beasts star, 27, took to the Oscars red carpet at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood she looked stunning.
However, the outfit, made up of a tight red gown and huge eight-inch high heels, clearly caused chaos with her movement as the star took a tumble. Despite the embarrassing fall, the actress hilariously brushed it off and blamed an imaginary manhole.

One user said: "Liza Koshy's stumble on the red carpet at the Oscars will always be remembered, but the way she owned it with confidence and flair was just as memorable! Her witty response showed her cool under pressure. While many were quick to joke about the slip, Liza showed her sass and grace through humor."
While a second queried whether it was an intended fall, another joked: "As she's trying to stand up we hear someone yelling 'Shake it off, shake it off! That never helped in Little League when I was 8yrs old. It ain't gonna help on the #Oscars2024 red carpet either.'"
