Escalator Nightmare: Oscars Gown Snagged

Socialite Sabine Getty faced a dramatic moment at the 2026 Oscars when her ivory silk Ralph Lauren gown became ensnared in an escalator at the Dolby Theatre. The incident left the Lebanese jewelry designer unable to move, prompting staff to intervene and help free the hem of her dress.

Getty, who is married to hedge fund manager Joseph Getty, shared a glimpse of the 'hectic' event on Instagram, describing it as a "dress massacre." She was attending the awards ceremony as an executive producer for the docudrama film 'The Voice Of Hind Rajab,' which had been nominated for Best International Feature Film.

The mother-of-two, born in Geneva and raised in Switzerland and Lebanon, has previously spoken about her love for fashion and how a dress inspires her event preparation. She noted that her background has taught her to find beauty in contrast, a sentiment that influences her creative pursuits.

Getty tied the knot with Joseph Getty, a descendant of J. Paul Getty, in 2015. The couple shares two children, Gene and Jupiter. They celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary last year, reflecting on how shared experiences, even during challenging times like the pandemic, have strengthened their bond.
