Louis Vuitton at center of  social media firestorm

As Stone took the stage to accept the Best Actress award, she clutched her dress, revealing a gaping zipper malfunction.

Stone handled the situation with grace and humor, quipping, "My dress is broken; I think it happened during 'I'm just Ken,'" referring to Ryan Gosling's electrifying 'Barbie' performance earlier in the night.

While Stone's professionalism was lauded, the same could not be said for Louis Vuitton. The French fashion house found itself at the center of a social media firestorm, with users flooding their Instagram account with scathing comments about the apparent lack of craftsmanship.

One commenter lamented, "Now the whole world knows LV made dress at Zara quality. Well done."

While another expressed, "Shame for the quality... The dress ruined such a special moment."

Amid the uproar, a third user took a humorous approach, commenting, "One prayer for the employee at LV who sewed that zipper. His/her head is on the chop."

Meanwhile, another user empathized with Stone's experience, emphasizing, "She was humiliated and felt unsafe. Look at her face and words to all the women as she approached the stage. You stole her moment."

The criticism extended to questioning the value of luxury brands, with one user questioning, "That's the infamous dress that snapped. What's the point of spending so much money on these brands when Primark can do a better job?"

Another user took a more cynical stance, suggesting, "Fashion houses being run by interns."
