Hailee Steinfeld reveals Oscar red carpet nightmare that no one noticed

George Pimentel/FilmMagicIf you saw Hailee Steinfeld walking the red carpet or presenting the award for Best Animated Feature Film at the Oscars a few weeks ago, you’d never have known that she was suffering from a wardrobe malfunction.  Hailee tells People magazine, “It was a nightmare.”

Hailee wore a beautiful, feminine Ralph & Russo couture gown in a hand-painted floral design.  But as she reveals to People, the gown was so delicate that when she got on the red carpet, she noticed there was already a “tiny little tear” in her dress, just above her waist.  Then, she says, it got “bigger and bigger as I went down the carpet.”

“Anytime anyone stepped on the train, it would just rip more and more,” she tells People. “There was a point where I was awkwardly holding my hand to try and hide it as it was getting bigger.”   When she got inside, she says, she found a woman in the wardrobe department who “cut a piece off the back of the dress and sewed it on to the front of the dress to make it look like it was just part of the dress.”

“By the time I presented you couldn’t tell. It was a nightmare,” Hailee recalls. “It’s stressful and the clock’s ticking and everybody’s running around. It was a lot.”

Not long ago Hailee told ABC Radio that she gets “equally nervous” at every red carpet, whether it’s a movie-related event like the Oscars or a film premiere, or a music event like the MTV VMAs or the American Music Awards.

But also, she adds, “I get excited. My excitement overrides all of that, at the end of the day, all the nerves, but they’re…incredibly different and I feel like the more I do it, the more I sorta realize what the similarities are.”
