Oprah Winfrey had to be sewn into her BAFTA Awards gown ahead of the ceremony last night (16.02.14).
The 60-year-old actress and talk show host struggled to get into her Stella McCartney dress before the annual event at London's Royal Opera House, where she was nominated for an award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in 'Lee Daniels' The Butler'.
She posted a video on her Instagram account before walking the red carpet, showing two stylists trying to stitch her into the figure-hugging burgundy dress, which featured a huge bow and lace detail.
Oprah said: "It's an hour to go and this is Raj and Giuseppe who are literally stitching me into my gown ... Hello Stella McCartney!"
The star was up against Julia Roberts, Lupita Nyong'o, Sally Hawkins and Jennifer Lawrence in her category and lost out to Jennifer, 23, for her part in 'American Hustle', although she was unable to attend the event.
Though she didn't win, Oprah - who also presented the award for Outstanding British Film to 'Gravity' - was still delighted to be nominated for an award as she worried she would "embarrass herself" in the movie.
She said: "For someone who was trying not to embarrass myself, it is amazing.
"The best part is it is a jury of your peers. It's people who do this for a living - don't make me cry now! It's people who do this for a living saying, 'We're going to give you a vote. We think what you did deserves this.' "
'The Butler' is Oprah's third film, having starred in 1998's 'Beloved' and 1985's 'The Color Purple', which also saw her get an Oscar nomination.

Kylie Minogue has urged Simon Cowell to put Dannii Minogue back on 'The X Factor' judging panel.
The 45-year-old singer believes her sister - who was on the panel from 2007 to 2010 - has done really well since joining the Australian version of the show last year and will benefit the UK programme.
She said: "Dannii has done so well on 'X Factor Australia', she won it with her artist.
"She's got better and better and this year, in the words of ['X Factor' UK judge] Louis Walsh, she nailed it! So yes, I would like to see her back."
The 54-year-old music mogul is currently making the final decision on who he would like on the judging panel alongside him this year, with Cheryl Cole - who was on the show from 2008 to 2010 - believed to be one of his firm choices.
Kylie added to The Sun newspaper: "I think I'm with the whole country when I say the show has been missing her and Simon and Cheryl.
"It would be very exciting to see them back."
Having Dannii, 42, back on the panel could recreate the on-screen chemistry between her and Simon, who the music mogul admitted to having an affair with in his 2012 autobiography, and boost ratings.
However, Simon welcomed his first child son Eric into the world at the weekend with his girlfriend Lauren Silverman.
Meanwhile, Dannii - who has also appeared as a judge on 'Australia's Got Talent' - also has three-year-old son Ethan with her ex-boyfriend Kris Smith.

John Goodman thought he'd "kissed goodbye" to starring in war movies.
The 'Monuments Men' actor - who plays one of the soldiers helping to recover art stolen by the Nazis during WWII - believed he had come too far in his career to be cast in a historical military film.
He explained: "I'd just kissed it goodbye a long time ago. I never figured I'd be in a war movie."
However, the 61-year-old star admits he had a lot of fun working alongside George Clooney, Jean Dujardin, Matt Damon and Bill Murray in the comedy, but he struggled with the costume at times.
He said: "I'm very grateful to have been asked and it was so much fun to put on a uniform every day. Except for the boots, I had trouble with the boots.
"But it was like playing. It was like being 12 years old again, out in the yard."
Goodman insists the cast got on really well and Clooney - who also directed the movie - was always cracking jokes in between takes.
He explained to the Belfast Telegraph newspaper: "We all had great respect for each other, and once the cameras stopped rolling, once he finished his shots, then we would laugh, until the next set up. We just sat around telling jokes, swapping lines and just having the best time."

Madonna wants to collaborate with Drake.
The 55-year-old singer has confirmed she's started working on her new album, the follow-up to her 2012 'MDNA' soundtrack, and she'd love to have the rapper collaborate with her on one of the songs.
When asked if she's planning a new album, she said: "Yes, plans are in the works already. Don't ask me with who - it's a secret. Top secret."
When asked if she has plans to work with Drake, she told the Canadian Press: "If he'll have me!"
Meanwhile, the 'Hung Up' hitmaker previously said she wanted to get in touch with Daft Punk because she wanted the electronic duo to help produce some of her tracks.
She said last year: "I would love to work with Daft Punk. Just waiting for them to return my call."
However, it appears Daft Punk told Pharrell Williams - who has worked with Madonna in the past - two years ago that they were also interested in collaborating with the energetic star.
Pharrell said: "We were at a party for Madonna's last album and I was like [to Daft Punk], 'You guys should have produced this! Why did that not happen? Madonna and the robots would have been unbelievable!' They were like, 'We're working on something'."

Peter Andre thinks he has "overdone" reality TV.
The 40-year-old singer - who competed in 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here' in 2004, where he came third - admits there are a number of reality shows which are entertaining but doesn't see himself opting to star in any in the near future.
He said: "'Celebrity Big Brother' is one of those shows which a lot of people are glued to watching. I don't know if I would set myself up for a fall being in that situation. I don't know if I could cope. Whereas 'I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here', you're in the jungle, you have trials to do to try and win food.
"There are some great reality shows out there but I think I've overdone them right now. You're probably sick of me."
He added: "Reality is so big at the moment."
Peter - who became a father again last month to one-month-old daughter Amelia, who he has with fiancée Emily MacDonagh - is currently working on his forthcoming album, which he is anticipating for a May 2014 release.
He explained to BBC Radio 2: "I'd like to think [it will be released around] May time. We're working in the studio now. I have paternity leave for the next three weeks, and after that it'll be straight in the studio."

Jim Davidson has no interest in returning to TV.
The 60-year-old comic - who recently won 'Celebrity Big Brother' - insists he has reached his "shelf life" for television presenting and doesn't want to return as he doesn't think he could compete with younger stars like Ant and Dec.
Asked where he wants to go following his 'CBB' win, he said: "Nowhere. Going back on TV was never something I wanted to do. I've done 'The Generation Game' and 'Big Break' and earned a million quid a year, but realistically everyone has a shelf life.
"When I think I'm as attractive or as good as Ant and Dec, then I'll be after their job, but really it's time to move on.
"No disrespect to Bruce Forsyth, you don't hang on in there. Cab drivers say to me, 'Why aren't you on TV? We're fed up of all those "8 Out of 10 Cats" shows.' TV companies seem to forget about people aged 40 and older."
Jim is still "shell-shocked" by his experiences in the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house as things weren't always comfortable.
He told Britain's OK! magazine: "I'm a bit shell-shocked by it all. All the bad food and bad wine and no sleep. I wish I hadn't done it."

Laura Mvula doesn't think she's a good pop star.
The 27-year-old singer-songwriter narrowly missed out on winning a Mercury prize last year after James Blake claimed the honour and she's now in the running to receive a best British Breakthrough Act prize at the upcoming BRIT Awards, but she admits she's not very confident when it comes to her talent.
She told the Independent on Sunday's The New Review: "I'm still very shy, and very private. Being a pop star is something I don't think I'm very good at. I'm worried it's making me too paranoid, because all of a sudden, life has become this constant assessment.
"When you put something out there and people get to hear it, then those people react to it, socially, culturally."
The 'Green Garden' hitmaker - who only eighteen months ago was still working as a receptionist at the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra - has also found it hard to adjust to her fame and doesn't like being the focus of people's attention.
She explained: "Nowadays, whenever I sit down with someone, or I see someone I haven't seen for a long time, or even if I'm in the toilet in a restaurant, people want to stop and talk about me.
"They tell me either that they love my stuff, or quite possibly - and this has happened, at least once - that they don't. They want to know about my hairstyle, or what I'm wearing, who I'm wearing."

Kylie Minogue doesn't know if she'll ever get married.
The 'Can't Get You Out of My Head' hitmaker split from her boyfriend of five years Andrés Velencoso last year due to conflicting work commitments and, although she believes in the "power of love", she's not sure whether she'll ever settle down completely.
She said: "I'm a romantic and I love it, and when it happens I can definitely fall hard - you're in a spin arranging everything else so you can see that person.
"But it's not so much the picture frame with the perfect couple. I don't know if someone is gonna change all that, and I'll be walking down the aisle one day, but I've never really seen it."
The 45-year-old singer - whose Grandmother passed away last year - also admitted that work and family are the most important things in her life.
She told The Sunday Times newspaper's Style magazine: "I'm totally fluid. For me, love is the people I work with, it's my family."
The Australian star - who rose to fame on the soap 'Neighbours' - recently joined BBC One talent show 'The Voice' to judge aspiring pop stars alongside fellow mentors will.i.am, Sir Tom Jones and the Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson.

Kate Moss wants to be a screen writer and director.
The 40-year-old model is keen ditch her 20-year career in fashion and is determined to produce her own thriller after becoming hooked on dark and gripping movies with her husband Jamie Hince, 45.

However, Kate is already set for a busy year ahead as she plans to launch a brand new collection for Topshop in April.

Kanye West wants to teach Kendall and Kylie Jenner to rap.
The 'Bound 2' hitmaker is keen to turn his fiancée Kim Kardashian's half-sisters into pop stars and has even offered to fly them both out to the studio in Paris, France, to get working on the tracks he's already penned for them.
A source said: "Kanye has been gushing to pals that Kendall and Kylie are incredibly talented and says he can't wait to get working with them in the studio."
The 36-year-old rapper - who got engaged to Kim in October and has eight-month-old daughter North with her - believes he could act as manager for Kendall, 18, and Kylie, 16, and insists there's a lot of money to be made in them breaking into the music industry.
The source explained to The Sun newspaper: "He wants to manage their careers and has already been writing songs and planning outfits for them. He has his design team coming up with a cool new image for the girls.
"He's positively salivating at how successful he thinks they'll be. He has dollar signs in his eyes."
Meanwhile, the reality TV stars already have a career in fashion carved out as Kendall recently modelled for Marc Jacobs at New York Fashion week and the siblings also have their own clothing range.

John Goodman wishes he wasn't so fat.
'The Monuments Men' star has struggled with alcoholism and weight problems since the beginning of his career, and although he's noticeably slimmer now than he was when he starred in 'Roseanne' and even since appearing in 'Inside Llewyn Davis' last year, he still admits that he finds it difficult to watch himself on screen.
He explained: "I wish I wasn't as fat as I am. It just bothers me. When I saw a film in which I played Santa Claus recently, I walked away thinking, 'This is just God awful. I look terrible. I want to have my mouth sewn shut."
The 61-year-old actor also admitted that after watching his current film 'The Monuments Men' - in which he stars as Walter Garfield alongside heartthrobs George Clooney, Matt Damon and French actor Jean Dujardin - he realised he hadn't lost as much weight as he thought he had.
He added: "I was in pretty good shape when I got this role, but I thought I was doing better than I looked on screen. I thought I looked terrible."
Goodman has fond memories of his time on US sitcom 'Roseanne' with actress Roseanne Barr and admits the pair unsuccessfully tried to work together again recently and that he'd still like to reunite with her.
He told The Daily Telegraph newspaper's Review magazine: "I haven't spoken to Rose in a while. We tried to do a pilot together two years ago and NBC hated it, but goddamn we had fun ... I'd love to do something with Rose again."

Cate Blanchett dedicated her BAFTA award to Philip Seymour Hoffman.
The Australian actress took the Lead Actress trophy at tonight's (16.02.14) British Academy of Film and Television Awards (BAFTA) ceremony in London for her role in Woody Allen's 'Blue Jasmine' and spoke in memory of Philip, who died earlier this month from an apparent overdose of heroin in New York.
Calling him a "monumental presence," she praised his "talent, generosity and unflinching quest for truth not just in art but in life."
She added: "You raised the bar continually. Phil, buddy, this is for you, you b*****d, I hope you're proud."
Cate had appeared alongside Philip in 1999s 'The Talented Mr. Ripley'.
Meanwhile, Barkhad Abdi was named Supporting Actor for his film debut in 'Captain Philips'- in which he plays a Somali pirate - beating Bradley Cooper, Daniel Bruhl, Matt Damon and Michael Fassbender to claim the prize.
Accepting the award, he thanked the film's director, Paul Greengrass "for believing in me before I believed in myself".
Barkhad - a former a limousine driver, shop worker and a DJ who moved from Somalia to the US when he was 14 - also paid tribute to other actors, adding: "We came from nothing and we have this."
