Though Amanda Seyfried's stunning gown at the Critics' Choice Awards 2023 was a hit on the red carpet, it almost caused her to have an onstage wardrobe malfunction.
The vintage gold 2020 Dior Haute Couture gown the actress, 37, wore began ripping on the red carpet before the ceremony even started, as she joked in an interview with Access Hollywood: 'I’m just going to take off my dress, it keeps ripping.'
She later struggled with the falling dress - that was cut from single piece of twisted, fringed lamé chiffon - as she took the stage at the ceremony after winning for her performance in The Dropout, before finally covering it up with a black leather jacket.

Despite the small wardrobe mishap, Amanda had a fantastic evening and ended the night on a high note.
She won for her incredible performance playing Silicon Valley fraudster Elizabeth Holmes in Hulu's The Dropout, which also earned her a Golden Globe award in absentia earlier this week.

Unique: The exquisite but fragile gown had been cut from single piece of twisted, fringed lamé chiffon
The Mean Girls star wore her signature blonde locks in a chic ponytail that allowed her face to be framed by two wavy strands.
Soft makeup was paired with a bright burst of bold red lipstick that popped against the star's porcelain skin.
Bedecked in show-stopping jewelry from Cartier, Seyfried's neck was adorned with a magnificent wreath of white diamonds and blue sapphires while her ears sported matching baubles.

Seyfried beat out an impressive field, which included: Julia Garner – Inventing Anna (Netflix), Lily James – Pam & Tommy (Hulu), Amber Midthunder – Prey (Hulu), Julia Roberts – Gaslit (Starz), and Michelle Pfeiffer – The First Lady (Showtime).
Amanda happily accepted the honor as she hit the podium and said: 'First, this is amazing. I'm overwhelmed with being able to celebrate this show like this and I'm really proud of it.'
The mother of two went on to thank her husband Thomas Sadoski, 46, and their two children: five-year-old daughter Nina and one-year-old son Thomas.

'And last but not least,' she said, '[thank you to] my family'
Speaking directly to her children through the camera, Amanda said: 'Hi, bubs, you gotta go to bed now, but thanks!'
Prior to winning her award, the Mank star opened up about her acting process while she walked the red carpet, telling People: 'I'm not a method actor, but I went to some places I needed to go. It was the experience of a lifetime for an actor. It was what I was looking for.'
Uncanny: Amanda won for her incredible performance playing Silicon Valley fraudster Elizabeth Holmes in Hulu's The Dropout, which also earned her a Golden Globe award earlier this week
But the pressures of playing a real person led Seyfried to declare that it 'will be a while' before she takes on another role like Elizabeth Holmes.
She said: 'I want to have a little less challenge, and a little more fun.'
Other big winners of the evening were beloved stars like Brendan Fraser, Jennifer Coolidge and Ke Huy Quan, cementing their Hollywood comebacks.
