Cara Delevingne Reveals Last-Minute Dress Repair That Saved Her Academy Museum Gala Look

Her behind-the-scenes post spotlights the on-the-fly craftsmanship that keeps red-carpet couture intact.

Overview

  • Delevingne disclosed the mishap in an Oct. 23 Instagram “gala dump,” captioned, “Scroll through to reveal the truth behind the glitz and glamour.”
  • A video shows her standing barefoot with toe separators as stylist John Mumblo sewed a large rip along the back of her gown moments before the carpet.
  • The silver halter dress with floral details was a Tamara Ralph Couture design from the spring 2025 collection worn at the Oct. 18 gala in Los Angeles.
  • The emergency repair held on the red carpet, with professional photos largely concealing the fix, though signs of stitching are visible on close inspection.
  • After the quick rescue, she continued with the event and was photographed mingling with fellow attendees inside the gala.
