The Impeachment: American Crime Story actor talked all about it during a new interview with W magazine.

Feldstein didn’t know if the dress would hold, and she got even more nervous when it came time for her to present an award on stage.

The Booksmart star said she was so nervous that she accidentally stepped on the front hem of her dress and that was when her “clasp gave way.”
