as a hustler named Ginger McKenna. Stone told Campbell she “freaked out” about the fashion mishap, being that she was a first-time nominee representing an all-star cast: “I just couldn’t believe it,” she said.“I was just so freaked out because I was nominated, and that’s the biggest thing to ever happen when you’re a little actress and you get to work with Bob [De Niro] and Marty [Scorsese], and I just couldn’t believe it,” the star shared.
“She eventually started putting things together, so we ended up putting together this Gap shirt and a ready-to-wear Valentino skirt, then I had this Armani tuxedo dress that I wore as a jacket, and I picked a Gardenia out of the garden,” she added. “And that was it!”But as she was putting the finishing touches on her outfit and “running out the door,” Stone’s mom noticed a hole in the armpit of her shirt.
“My mother went, ‘Oh s—!’… She was sewing my T-shirt as I was walking out to the limousine,” the star recalled. Stone ended the story by telling Campbell that, at the time, she knew the outfit debacle was a bad sign: “My mother’s so psychic. I realized, ‘Oh, I’m not going to win,'” she said with a laugh.
