2018 Oscars: Margot Robbie Sewed Her Chanel Dress Back Together

Margot Robbie Sewed Her Chanel Dress Back Together At The 2018 Oscars

“Oh, ain’t got time for that!” - by Tina Burke

Margot Robbie stunned at the 90th Academy Awards in a white Chanel Haute Couture dress made by Karl Lagerfeld that took an impressive 600 hours to craft.

The corseted gown had top stitched georgette draped on the arms and a bodice embroidered with a 3-D band of crystal tubes and rounded garland neckline adorned with two 3-D camellias in crystal tube embroidery. The delicacy of the materials meant that, while stunning, the dress was not built to endure an evening of frolicking.

People reports that at some point during the ceremony, Margot's straps almost fell apart and she had to ask someone for a sewing kit. The Best Actress nominee went on to stitch the gown back together and avoid an unpleasant wardrobe malfunction. When the publication asked the actress about the incident she joked: “Oh, ain’t got time for that!”
