Alix Earle had to MacGyver her way out of a wardrobe malfunction.
While attending the annual Vanity Fair Oscars 2026 after-party at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art March 15, the influencer found that the red beading on her vintage Bob Mackie halter gown faced a bit of an issue, prompting her to take an unconventional method to fix it.
“I just had to go ask someone over there for a knife,” Alix admitted to Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet, “because one of the beading things started coming undone, and I was about to get on the carpet.”
But as the 25-year-old—who was also wearing Kendra Scott Fine Jewelry—explained, as she pulled on the thread “all the beads start flying off.”
“It was like, ‘Someone, I need a knife,’” she laughed. “So we just sliced it a little bit.”
Luckily, once her wardrobe problems were fixed, the TikToker was able to focus on the rest of the night and what she was actually hoping to achieve.
