Amanda Seyfried is reflecting on a revealing encounter she had with Glen Powell.
The Mean Girls actress recently recalled her unfortunate wardrobe malfunction during the 2023 Critics Choice Awards.
“My boobs fell out of my dress,” Seyfried said in a new interview with PEOPLE. “I was wearing this amazing vintage dress. I made my stylist dress up in it before I went just for fun.”
But the archival Dior look didn’t have much structural integrity. “It was kind of sewn together and it started truly falling apart, literally falling off of me on the red carpet,” Seyfried said, “and I think there were even interviews where I’m saying it’s breaking off.”
Seyfried did indeed say her dress “keeps breaking” and “ripping” during a red carpet interview with Access Hollywood the night of the awards. “I’m just going to take off my dress,” she joked. “Honestly, it’s old — it’s beautiful!”

Seyfried’s dress ultimately disintegrated during a conversation with the Twisters star in the middle of the ceremony. “I was talking to Glen Powell in the corner near my table, and we were joking around about something, and I lifted my arms up, and my boobs were just out. My dress fell apart,” she recalled. “We 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.”
The actress found herself in another nightmarish scenario later in the evening, when she had to take the stage after her project The Dropout won Best Limited Series and she didn’t have an acceptable outfit. “I ended up wearing someone else’s jacket on stage,” she said. “Because, well, it would’ve just been my boobs.”
