Amanda Seyfried admits her ‘boobs fell out’ in front of A-list celebrity during award show in new interview

Seyfried ended up having to improvise when she went up on stage

Let’s be honest, it simply isn’t a Hollywood awards show without some kind of viral moment, comical mishap or awkward exchange.

From hosts like Nikki Glaser making iconic jokes about the stars to Adrien Brody throwing chewing gum at the Oscars, this year’s season has provided plenty of things to chat about and memeify online.

But Amanda Seyfried has just given us a blast from the past as she admitted her ‘boobs fell out’ at an awards show two years ago while she was with a fellow A-List celebrity.

The star recalled the moment during her recent press for the upcoming TV series Long Bright River where she plays a Philly police officer.

“My boobs fell out of my dress at the 2023 Critics Choice Awards,” she told PEOPLE. “I was wearing this amazing vintage dress. I made my stylist dress up in it before I went just for fun.”

At the awards that year, she picked up Best Actress in a Movie/Miniseries for The Dropout and was embodying golden girl in a Dior Haute Couture gown.

“It was kind of sewn together and it started truly falling apart, literally falling off of me on the red carpet, and I think there were even interviews where I’m saying it’s breaking off,” Seyfried recalled.

She’d said to one reporter on the red carpet that it ‘keeps ripping’ and ‘keeps breaking’ as she promised she wasn’t ‘kidding’. Seyfried even joked she was going to take it off but it was so ‘beautiful’.

And it seems she certainly wasn’t kidding about the state of it as things ended up taking a turn while she was chatting to Glen Powell in a corner near her table.

“We were joking around about something and I lifted my arms up, and my boobs were just out. My dress fell apart,” the Mean Girls star explained.

But thankfully, Powell of course acted like a top bloke and handled the situation pretty well while they ‘both screamed’.

“And like the gentleman he is, he covered me. He didn’t look… I think. None of us were expecting that, but that dress had truly just given up,” Seyfried said.

But while Powell helped her out in that moment, she had to get up on stage to accept an award so ‘ended up wearing someone else’s jacket’ to cover up.

“Because, well, it would’ve just been my boobs,” the star added.
