Amanda Seyfried’s Wardrobe Malfunction: A Red Carpet Tale with Glen Powell
Oh, the glamour and glitz of Hollywood! It’s not all perfect lighting and designer gowns, as Amanda Seyfried recently recounted an unforgettable wardrobe malfunction at the 2023 Critics Choice Awards that would make even the most seasoned star cringe. The 39-year-old actress, who was attending the event to celebrate her acclaimed performance in “The Dropout,” found herself in an unexpectedly revealing situation while donning a stunning vintage Dior Haute Couture dress.
Seyfried, who stars in the upcoming Peacock thriller series “Long Bright River,” reminisced about the moment to People Magazine, dishing about how her dress, apparently more temperamental than a diva with a caffeine withdrawal, started to come apart right on the red carpet. “It started truly falling apart, literally falling off of me,” she confessed. Just as she was chatting with fellow actor Glen Powell, known for his charming roles in films like “Top Gun: Maverick,” disaster struck. With a playful gesture, she lifted her arms, and voilà—her dress had officially given up on life.
Fortunately, Seyfried was in the company of a true gentleman. “We both screamed,” she recalled, with Powell gallantly stepping in to cover her up. “He didn’t look… I think.” A true testament to his character, Powell’s response was nothing short of heroic—if knights in shining armor wore tuxedos and attended awards shows. Seyfried’s wardrobe crisis didn’t end there; on stage, she had to improvise by donning someone else’s jacket to preserve her modesty while accepting her award.
Wardrobe malfunctions are not uncommon in the high-pressure realm of celebrity events, with fellow stars like Jennifer Lawrence and Janet Jackson experiencing their own cringe-worthy moments. But Seyfried’s humorous take on the incident offers a refreshing perspective on the chaos that can accompany such glamorous occasions.
As she gears up for the release of “Long Bright River” on March 13, Seyfried’s charm and candidness remind us that even the most polished stars can have their moments of hilarity and humility. After all, what’s a little wardrobe mishap when you have a friend like Glen Powell to help you through it?
